The Assisted Living Laboratory

The Bremen Ambient Assisted Living Laboratory (BAALL) ontology is a hierarchically structured ontology that has been developed over the past years for modelling

• (dis)abilities and assistance by service robots (e.g. autonomous wheelchairs) for the Bremen Assisted Living Lab;
• food, cooking, and diets, including dietary recommendations and restrictions.

In this laboratory you will see how to query a fragment of the ontology, and in so doing, also get an intro to ontologies and description logic.

For more information, you can visit the webpage of BAALL to get a better idea of the complete project. The BAALL ontology itself also has a website. The ontology will be provided soon, under a suitable licence that will allow free use for academic purposes. Work is in progress to integrate its food related parts with the SOMA ontology and the  FoodOn ontology.
