Decametre Physical object Any Object that has a proper space region. (Definition extracted from DUL ontology) Measurement Represents the measured value made over a property. It is also linked to the unit of measure in which the value is expressed and the timestamp of the measurement. has digital representation A relation between a physical object and the digital representation in which it is encapsulated. Metre Unit of measure The unit of measure is a standard for measurement of a quantity, such as a Property. For example, Power is a property and Watt is a unit of power that represents a definite predetermined power: when we say 10 Watt, we actually mean 10 times the definite predetermined power called "watt". Our definition is based on the definition of unit of measure in the Ontology of units of Measure (OM). We propose here a list of some units of measure that are relevant for the purpose of the Smart Appliances ontology, but this list can be extended. Sensor A device that detects and responds to events or changes in the physical environment such as light, motion, or temperature changes.

A Service must specify the device that is offering the service, the function(s) to be represented, and the (input and output) parameters necessary to operate the service. has value A relationship defining the value of a certain property, e.g., energy or power Irradiance An individual representing the light property irradiance. https://saref.etsi.org/saref4envi/ 2020-06-05 This ontology extends the SAREF ontology for the environment domain, specifically for the light pollution domain, including concepts like photometers, light, etc. s4envi 2024-01-25 v1.1.2 SAREF extension for environment Information about changes compared to version 1.1.1: - Updated namespaces for compatibility with SAREF v3.
