Using Ontology for Uplift and Configuration
The KODE Ontology introduces an innovative approach to defining devices, focusing on their operations and functionality. Drawing inspiration from Google's Ontology, it aims to establish a uniform schema and toolset for representing structured information related to buildings and their installed equipment.
KODE Ontology identifies the primary function of a device and specifies the necessary fields and components required for that device to perform its function effectively. By applying templates, users can generate reports that provide insights such as:
Describe what the template is supposed to do and whether it was a command or status; a number, or an enum;
Validate that the chosen template is actually the right fit for the device by looking at what points should be there versus what points were there;
Identify when the same template was being applied to different sensors i.e. the mechanism had no fixed structure and pre-defined rules.
Running an Ontology Report
After you are done with applying templates for points select the Ontology Report on the right-hand side of the screen.
After selecting, a new window will appear as shown below:
As seen on the screen, you will immediately know which devices have been applied to templates that are matching and which ones require your further attention.
If you expand one of the devices you will see its associated entities and any errors that require your attention in the Points - Apply Template screen. This will require you to close the Ontology Report, go back to resolve the presented issues, and run the Ontology report again.
