Polyhouse is a commonly used conventional method for solar drying of food products. These Polyhouse Solar Driers (PSDs) are characterized by their enclosed structure and translucent covering, providing a controlled environment conducive to efficient food drying. Smart polyhouses, equipped with a Cyber-Physical System (CPS), further enhance this process by optimizing environmental conditions and enabling real-time monitoring. In smart PSDs, the data are obtained from diverse sources with different specifications in accuracy, resolution, and range. This multifaceted nature of the information obtained from various sources significantly compounds the complexity of the system. This complexity of data from diverse sources within smart polyhouses necessitates a standardized knowledge representation. Ontologies serve this purpose by establishing a common vocabulary and structure for data integration, promoting semantic interoperability and effective communication among diverse systems. This paper proposes a novel unified ontology designed to model complex polyhouse CPSs, aiming to address semantic interoperability issues and streamline data integration across various domains. The proposed polyhouse ontology attempts to reuse the concepts defined in existing ontologies rather defining new concepts for efficient knowledge sharing and enhanced understanding of polyhouse operations. The practical applicability of the polyhouse ontology has been verified with competency questions and through field deployment in a CPS enabled smart Polyhouse Solar Dryer.

支持 CPS 的 Polyhouse 太阳能干燥机的可互操作本体：AgroESP 项目的案例研究


Polyhouse 是一种常用的食品太阳能干燥传统方法。这些 Polyhouse 太阳能干燥机 (PSD) 的特点是其封闭结构和半透明覆盖物，提供有利于高效食品干燥的受控环境。配备网络物理系统（CPS）的智能综合住宅通过优化环境条件和实现实时监控进一步增强了这一过程。在智能 PSD 中，数据来自不同的来源，在精度、分辨率和范围方面具有不同的规格。从各种来源获得的信息的多面性极大地增加了系统的复杂性。智能多住宅内来自不同来源的数据的复杂性需要标准化的知识表示。本体通过建立数据集成的通用词汇和结构、促进不同系统之间的语义互操作性和有效通信来实现这一目的。本文提出了一种新颖的统一本体，旨在对复杂的 Polyhouse CPS 进行建模，旨在解决语义互操作性问题并简化各个领域的数据集成。所提出的 Polyhouse 本体试图重用现有本体中定义的概念，而不是定义新概念，以实现有效的知识共享和增强对 Polyhouse 操作的理解。 Polyhouse 本体的实际适用性已通过能力问题和通过支持 CPS 的智能 Polyhouse 太阳能干燥机的现场部署得到验证。
