SAREF4AGRI: an extension of SAREF for the agriculture and food domain
type: Ontology
description: This ontology extends the SAREF ontology for the Agricultural domain. This work has been developed in the context of the STF 534 (https://portal.etsi.org/STF/STFs/STFHomePages/STF534.aspx), which was established with the goal to create three SAREF extensions, one of them for the Agricultural domain.

description: SAREF4AGRI is an extension of SAREF for the agriculture and food domain. SAREF4AGRI is specified and published by ETSI in the TS 103 410-6 associated to this ontology file. The list of use cases, standards and requirements that guided the creation of SAREF4AGRI are described in the associated ETSI TR 103 511.

Or a relationship between a park and its outline as a closed arc of points, or a road and its location as a arc (a sequence of points). Clearly in practice there will be limit to the accuracy of any such statement, but one would expect an accuracy appropriate for the size of the object and uses such as mapping .

  on property: is command of
  min qualified cardinality: 1
  on class: Function
subclass of: Restriction
  on property: has description

comment: A directive that a device must support to perform a certain function. A command may act upon a state, but does not necessarily act upon a state. For example, the ON command acts upon the ON/OFF state, but the GET command does not act upon any state, it simply gives a directive to retrieve a certain value. We propose here a list of commands that are relevant for the purpose of SAREF, but this list can be extended.

comment: The functionality necessary to accomplish the task for which a Device is designed. A device can be designed to perform more than one function. Functions can be structured in categories (subclasses) that reflect different points of view, for example, considering the specific application area for which a function can be used (e.g., light, temperature, motion, heat, power, etc.), or the capability that a function can support (e.g., receive, reply, notify, etc.), and so forth.

type: Class
subclass of: Device

State
type: Class
comment: The state in which a device can be found, e.g, ON/OFF/STANDBY, or ONLINE/OFFLINE. We propose here a list of states that are relevant for the purpose of SAREF, but this list can be extended.

Task
type: Class
subclass of: Restriction
  on property: is accomplished by
  min qualified cardinality: 1
  on class: Device
comment: The goal for which a device is designed (from a user perspective). For example, a washing machine is designed for the task of washing. We propose here a list of tasks that are relevant for the purpose of SAREF, but this list can be extended.

Temperature
type: Class
subclass of: Property
comment: A saref:Property related to some measurements that are characterized by a certain value that is measured in a temperature unit (degree_Celsius, degree_Fahrenheit, or degree_kelvin)

Time
type: Class
subclass of: Property
comment: A saref:Property that allows to specify the time concept in terms of instants or intervals according to the imported W3C Time ontology.

Unit of measure
type: Class
comment: 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.
