VoCamp – interoperability for efficient energy systems in smart cities

The Ready4SmartCities (R4SC) project is organising another VoCamp.

When:
Monday 14 September and Tuesday 15 September
Where: in D’Appolonia premises in Genoa (map: https://goo.gl/5ElzRl).

The wide umbrella under which the VoCamp will take place is at the cross of the SmartCity domain and the ICT domain which encompasses also the Building sector, Software, Hardware and Data issues for the ICT domains, the Grid, the urban mobility, etc… This VoCamp will concentrate on the alignments of sectorial ontologies to a specific ontology which is also candidate for standardisation (The SAREF ontology – Smart Appliance Reference ontology – that is now in the hands of the ETSI to become THE standard for smart appliances).

Such alignments will be searched/established  within the frame of the predefined scenarios proposed in the Roadmap established by R4SC and they can be (or should be) also related to selected use cases already formalised/described under the W3C Linked Building Data Community Group Activities.

The principle of a VoCamp remain the same. It is an open workshop gathering experts to discuss towards an  agreement. Therefore it is totally free of charge and based on a voluntary basis.

Registration is simple as an email sent to address: ready4smartcities@googlegroups.com.
