SEMANCO: Semantic tools for carbon reduction in urban planning

摘要

The goal of the SEMANCO project is to develop an ontology-based energy information systemand associated tools that help stakeholders involved in urban planning to make informed decisions about howto reduce CO_2 emissions in cities. An ontology system is to be developed from the requirement analysis performedat the case studies. This approach enables data, services and stakeholders to be taken into account in theprocess of building ontologies. To create the ontology-based system we have adopted a decentralized approachaccording towhich modular ontologies from diverse domains become interlinked through a semantic framework.In this paper we summarize the project vision and discuss some research issues currently being developed in theproject concerning ontologies for energy information at the urban level, multi-scale analysis of carbon reductionproblems and integration of GIS with linked data.
