Towards Ontology-Based Event Processing

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 10161))

Abstract

The rapid change and heterogeneity of today’s generated data calls for real-time decision making systems that can cope with the presented heterogeneity. In this paper, we present an Ontology Based Event Processing system that bridges the gap between ontology-based reasoning and event processing. We propose both a language and an architecture to perform event processing over abstract ontology concepts. This allows to perform efficient temporal reasoning, while the high-level ontological definitions reduce the need for knowledge of the underlying data structure in complex domains.

    The semantics of these operators is similar to a left, right or full -join but their selectivity depends on how the constituents are temporally related.
