The "smart field" ontology

Abstract

In order to get a holistic view of a relatively complex object, a new and thus not yet well-established concept of "smart field", as well as to identify the main components and relations between them it makes sense to create the ontology of this concept. The paper proposes the ontology of a "smart field" object based on its decomposition by mining objects, field geological properties, main monitoring areas, composition of mining models, and software systems supplied by leading international vendors. The authors show some fragments of the ontology in OWL 2 language using Manchester syntax. The paper introduces the example of using the ontology in a decision support system. The proposed ontology can be used in implementing projects related to description and development of "smart fields" and to workflow monitoring.
