The event hall and residential buildings have similarities in terms of domain, elements, users, and materials. On the other hand, DVS was entirely different. Therefore, the major goal was to have a city model that combines DVS in a residential building, as well as DVS in an Event hall (commercial building). To achieve the stated above, the new ontology was rearranged. The data and object properties were aligned to adequately depict the city model though classes and class siblings. The ontology arrived at using Prot\u00e9g\u00e9 is represented in figure 1 below:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/141.23.68.248\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/combined-ontology.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-6045\" src=\"http:\/\/141.23.68.248\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/combined-ontology-704x1024.jpg\" alt=\"combined-ontology\" width=\"704\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"http:\/\/141.23.68.248\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/combined-ontology-704x1024.jpg 704w, http:\/\/141.23.68.248\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/combined-ontology-206x300.jpg 206w, http:\/\/141.23.68.248\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/combined-ontology-520x757.jpg 520w, http:\/\/141.23.68.248\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/combined-ontology-740x1077.jpg 740w, http:\/\/141.23.68.248\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/combined-ontology.jpg 1165w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 704px) 100vw, 704px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Figure2:\u00a0Combined Ontology<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>Challenges\/ Limitation of the study<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There were some limitations to the ontology. Firstly, there were challenges to the use of individual ontologies when combined. This agrees with G\u00f3mez P\u00e9rez et al., (2001) that there are several problems when attempting to individually develop ontologies or when existing ontologies are adapted for new purposes.\u00a0 To address this problem, it is recommended that ontologies are designed from the scratch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We can summarize our limitations into 2 main topics; (i) technical limitation, (ii) conceptual limitation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Technical Limitation:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Even if the utilized program offers such integration ways, there would be some inferring classes, subclasses, objects properties and even data properties. This situation brings us to overlapping or missing class, objects, data, and individuals. To avoid the overlapping, we examined three ontologies (which are intended to merge) if they have the same properties. Another technical limitation is the setting of a new relation between the different ontologies; thus, our purpose has been determined very clearly before merging.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Conceptual Limitation:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In this limitation, we consider the building style of ontologies. Indeed, the event hall and residential building ontologies have some common concepts; however, they were different from each other in this study. The difference came from the conceptual differences among the designers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>\u00a0For Download, please click below:<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/141.23.68.248\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/G5-v1.owl\">Combined Ontology Group 5<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>References<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">G\u00f3mez P\u00e9rez, A., Gruninger, M., Stuckenschmidt, H., &amp; Uschold, M.
