Abstract
With large scale prototype projects like Dubai, New
York or the Smart Cities Mission in India, Smart Cities are no
longer a vague idea from the future but are getting more and
more momentum in today’s world. While the Internet of Things
is emerging as the technology of choice to connect devices and
services of all size and complexity to form a Smart City, the
problem of interoperability between business layer applications
is far from being solved. A remedy for this may come from
the world of the Semantic Web: Lifting exchanged data to a
semantic level not only allows to abstract from existing interfaces,
a vast selection of already available ontologies for different use
case scenarios facilitate the creation of an abstraction layer by
already providing a commonly available vocabulary to describe
functionality and data to be provided. In this paper, we present
a light weight, domain specific semantic interoperability layer,
and its use in a Smart City environment.
