Description

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.

Software components

  • The Bremen Autonomous Assisted Living Laboratory Ontology: an ontology covering a wide array of knowledge for robots operating in assisted living scenarios, such as diets, medical conditions and restrictions, handicaps, capabilities. A small fragment of this ontology is used in this notebook. The full ontology will be freely available for academic use once licensing issues are resolved. Link to ontology website
