Abstract:
Over the last decade, the concept of the Smart City has been extensively studied with the development of modern societies. However, due to the complexity of Smart City, there does not exist a widely accepted definition for the Smart City. More recently, Ramaprasad et al. in 2017 have proposed a Smart City ontology that connects its relevant concepts with specified relations. This ontology thus can offer various paths by which theory and practice contribute to the development and understanding of a Smart City. However, this ontology is still lacking practical validations to verify its applicability, Therefore, in this paper, we select a set of critical Smart City papers and validate this ontology by fitting the papers into this ontology. Based on the validations, we also further propose and discuss the possible extensions and consolidations for this Smart City Ontology.
