| Description | Smart Building is a trend towards the Buildings Automation paradigm. Smart Building aims to autonomously control devices and systems in given environment. These devices and systems are nevertheless supervised by facility management. The facility management normally is aided by heterogeneous systems and applications. Due to multifarious data of the systems, applications, and missing integration of data in building automation, the data is manually collected by facility management, for analysis and decision making. Therefore, such a system is required to integrate the multi-form data of various systems and applications. Hence, Semantic Web technology is proposed in this paper to integrate data and to implement front end. Therefore, Semantic Web technology not only provide base for analysis and decision making for facility management, but also facilitate developers to focus on front-end of application. The aim is to structure the data, where active devices cannot only be located in a building but also identify according to its connected systems and subsystems. This also supports and maintains historical data for future analysis. |
