Adapted Ontology Development Process: A Co-Simulation Scenario Ontology for Energy Systems
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.52825/ocp.v9i.3313Keywords:
Co-Simulation, Ontology, Simulation Scenario, Linked Open Terms, Open Energy OntologyAbstract
We present our development of a co-simulation scenario ontology that provides a semantic framework for describing, sharing, comparing, and executing simulation scenarios, thereby enhancing interoperability and reproducibility.
The ontology is created through a structured development process following the Linked Open Terms methodology.
