Ontological modelling provides an insight of a specific knowledge domain and it is made of classes, relationships and instances. Ontologies made of hierarchies and properties between classes can be useful for data aggregation and clustering. Such ontologies provide domain knowledge and support the interpretation of relations identified in dataset through data mining processes, based on statistical techniques. Therefore, ontology-based machine learning approaches can directly incorporate human knowledge.

In smart city field, ontologies can be used for sharing city knowledge in a reliable format so that it is understandable and can be processed by both humans and machines. The aim of this project is to create ontology-based supervised and unsupervised machine learning methods for self monitoring to improve reliability of complex environments in smart cities. Furthermore, we will use data obtained from various industrial partners such as Volvo AB, HMS, HEM, Alfa Laval etc. in order to combine different domain knowledges (smart vehicles, district heating, industrial networks and etc.) hierarchically for smart cities.
