Semantic model for IoT-enabled electric vehicle services: Puzzling with ontologies

The purpose of this paper is to present our ideas of applying semantic modelling and ontologies to the issues of products and services. Two selected issues are discussed: i) the collection and reuse of product-service lifecycle data in an IoT-enabled framework. The role of product-service ontology is demonstrated as a backbone of vehicle lifecycle management; ii) ontologies and semantic interoperability as enabling technologies for the creation of services such as charging location finding or traffic information services. In both cases, a particular product electric vehicle with electric battery is taken into account as a case study.
