Abstract
Recognising human activities is a problem characteristic of a wider class of systems in which algorithms interpret multi-modal sensor data to extract semantically meaningful classifications. Machine learning techniques have demonstrated progress, but the lack of underlying formal semantics impedes the potential for sharing and re-using classifications across systems. We present a top-level ontology model that facilitates the capture of domain knowledge. This model serves as a conceptual backbone when designing ontologies, linking the meaning implicit in elementary information to higher-level information that is of interest to applications. In this way it provides the common semantics for information at different levels of granularity that supports the communication, re-use and sharing of ontologies between systems.
