Human Activity, Ontology, Smart Environment, ContextAbstract
One of the key challenges in smart environments is representing user context, as most applications need to collect and interpret data about their users. A crucial category of contextual information in these environments is user activity. This paper presents a literature mapping of recent research on human activity modelling using ontologies. Based on this analysis, we propose an ontology called ActivEOn, designed to represent human activities in smart spaces. This ontology provides high-level modelling of activities and related concepts, allowing for extensions into specific domains. The potential of the developed ontology was demonstrated through use cases in different smart environments modelled using Protégé software.
