SemanticPlugAndPlay

This Repository is the first step to easily use hardware components in an software enviroment. Using semantic-web-technology, hardware can be described and then mapped to processes defined in java (OOD-API). The Idea is seen in the following figure.

Typical Workflow

Arduino

• get the Arduino Library PythonComm
• open one ".ino" example and modify it
  • For Implementing one Sensor/Actuator function use

  String yourFunc(String s)

  • you should return a result as string
  • the string parameter are the specific arguments you want to use
  • configure pycom.begin()
• flash it onto an Arduino/ESP8226
• If you want to use more than one parameter/return value, you can modify the json-translation
  • default delimiter is ","

Protege (Ontology)

• open the "Ontology->CommandOntology.owl" and setup your device.

Python (Semantic Controller)

• After this run "Setup->Setup.py" (doesn´t work with Linux subsystem due to different usb mapping)
  • There you can test your implementation using the pycom protocol
    • for the first "String yourFunc(String s)" type "0:yourParameter" and hit the "sensor"-button
    • the "hertz"-button sets the streaming rate, which then can be triggered by
    • hit the "stream" button with "0:yourParameter" in the textfield
  • With "save"-button first type in the URI(aka. deviceName) used in the Ontology
  • Then (optional) save your modified JSON-Translation
  • hit the "write" button to save your "saved" strings onto the EEPROM

Java (OOD-API)

• Open OOD-API inside an IDE (preferrably IntelliJ)

  • Get an Idea how it works by looking at HouseAutomationSystem.java
  • For Ease of access you can use the name of your device as requirement in the constructor of an device (.java)

• Start "SemanticController->SerialPortListener.py" then start the MAIN of your java code.

• Pray that it works
