"The Horizon2020 InterConnect project, consisting of 50 European entities from eleven countries, aims to improve interoperability in the Smart home and office domain with the electricity sector. SAREF is an ontology created to enable interoperability between smart devices. However, there is a lack in the literature of practical examples to implement SAREF in a realistic setting. We validate the practical implementation of SAREF on two aspects.

Firstly we investigate the opportunities of having various data available as a SAREF knowledge graph in a Machine Learning (ML) context. (...) Secondly, we explore how to increase the explainability of ML algorithms in a Smart home context. (...)

We plan further experiments in an extensive pilot within the InterConnect project, consisting of almost 200 new apartments within the Netherlands that will be outfitted with smart devices expressing their data compatible with SAREF."
