Abstract

The Generalized World Entities (GWEs) paradigm is a proposal for introducing a semantic/conceptual dimension into the standard IoT procedures and supporting then the creation of a real Semantic Web of Things (SWoT). It is based on a substantial extension of the kind of entities to be considered within a sensor-monitored environment, by modelling in a unified way both physical entities like objects, humans, robots, etc. and higher levels of abstraction structures like situations, events, and behaviors. The unifying element is provided by an extended conceptual representation of the world, ontology based, that is used for modelling the GWEs of both types. NKRL (Narrative Knowledge Representation Language), a high-level tool grounded on two separated but integrated ontologies, an ontology of concepts and an ontology of elementary events, is utilized in this context.
