Ontology of Dynamic Entities

چکیده
This paper describes “dynamic business entities”, ontological classes that dynamically acquire and lose properties and relationships as a function of other aspects of the entities. Specifically, we propose how acquisition and loss instructions for such transient properties may be inherent in the definition of the entities possessing them. We use SBVR to demonstrate the specification of dynamic business entities showing how our idea could be applied in practice. We illustrate with an example drawn from the Flanders Research Information Space.

متن کاملDeveloping a BIM-based Spatial Ontology for Semantic Querying of 3D Property Information
With the growing dominance of complex and multi-level urban structures, current cadastral systems, which are often developed based on 2D representations, are not capable of providing unambiguous spatial information about urban properties. Therefore, the concept of 3D cadastre is proposed to support 3D digital representation of land and properties and facilitate the communication of legal owners...
