PROCÉDÉ DE GESTION D'ONTOLOGIES ET PLATE-FORME M2M

摘要

An ontology management method and an M2M platform are disclosed, to resolve a prior-art problem of semantic inconsistency in different industries and different standards in M2M communication. The ontology management method includes: receiving, by a machine-to-machine M2M platform, an ontology mapping request sent by a first application entity, where the ontology mapping request carries a first ontology identifier, a second ontology identifier, and mapping method description information; determining, by the M2M platform, a first ontology and a second ontology based on the first ontology identifier and the second ontology identifier; determining, by the M2M platform, a mapping manner based on the mapping method description information, and creating mapping between the first ontology and the second ontology according to the determined mapping manner; and storing, by the M2M platform, the mapping between the first ontology and the second ontology in an ontology mapping resource, and returning an identifier of the ontology mapping resource to the first application entity.
