Should we align to the SOMA (Socio-physical Model of Activities) ontology ?

[maximelefrancois86]

SOMA stands for Socio-physical Model of Activities (https://ease-crc.github.io/soma/).

The Socio-physical Model of Activities (SOMA) is an ontological modeling approach for autonomous robotic agents performing everyday manipulation activities.

• https://ease-crc.github.io/soma/owl/current/SOMA.owl
• https://github.com/ease-crc/soma

SOMA is based on Dolce Ultralite ontology, and defines among other:

• cognitive agent
• Physical agent
• Artificial agent
• Software instance
• Sub-cognitive agent
• involvesArtifact
• hasSoftwareAgent
• isAnsweredBy
• isAskedBy
• isPerformedBy
• isArtifactInvolvedIn
• dul:isAgentInvolvedIn

BTW KnowROB is a related former project, it seems SOMA will host most of the development now. However, quite a few publications have keywords related to HMAS:
