Defining the COVESA data modeling strategy and its associated artifacts

Presented at COVESA AMM 
Porto (April 2023)

  • Use the right tool for the job.
    • Do not try to cover multiple domains with only one tree.
    • There are other types of data models that are more expressive than a tree.
  • Use an standard language to express cross-references (e.g., RDF).
  • Use ontologies to handle data integration and the identification of resources.
  • Provide the mechanisms to sync a tree to an ontology, and standardise the steps to follow.
  • Do you need a data model, or are you looking for a use-case specific data schema?
  • For more details, see the extended description.
