    What it answers

    • What is the state of the feature of interest in the smart home?
    • What are the equivalent situations of the given one (which situation is proxy of another one). It is possible to find two different situations equivalent from the observation process's perspective. For instance in order to see if the fan above the oven is switched on we can either check the electriccurrent of the fan (first situation) or the luminosity of its lamp (second situation).
    • Which feature (property) of an object (feature of interest) is used to conceptualize a situation?

    The pattern

    The graph is the axioms the pattern asserts; nothing here is inferred. Drag to rearrange, scroll to zoom, and use the graph's own search box to find a term inside it.

    Opens at level of detail 3: classes, individuals, properties and restrictions, without the literals. Raise it with the LOD control in the graph's own toolbar to see annotation values and anything a reasoner adds.

    Download the pattern

    Should you use this one?
    Size 4 classes, 3 properties, 13 axioms
    Brings in 1 imported ontology, so adopting it adopts that too
    Reasoning HermiT finds this pattern consistent, with no unsatisfiable class, and its worked example consistent with the pattern.

    Check it yourself: the published pattern  ·  an archived copy  ·  the ontology itself.

    If a link does not open

    ontologydesignpatterns.org, which publishes most of this library, does not currently answer over HTTPS, and its wiki redirects submission pages to its front page. The archived copy is there for exactly that reason. The ontology files themselves are still served over plain HTTP.

    Terms it declares

    The 16 classes and properties this pattern models, as the recommender scores them. Annotation properties and built-ins are excluded, because an annotation property is not modelling.

    An example of it in use

    The pattern says what may be asserted; this says it. The graph below is a small set of individuals that instantiate the classes above and are connected by its properties, so the shape the pattern describes is visible as data rather than as a schema.

    Download the example

    Import this pattern into your own ontology from inside Protégé: OntoBoard → Reuse → Pattern library…, which hands it to Import terms… and writes the term list, the module, the import and the catalog entry the way ODK expects. See Working with ODK.
