The proposed extension bridges the semantic gap between SAREF and ECHONET by providing a comprehensive ontology that aligns ECHONET-based devices, resources, and functionalities with SAREF's generic semantic framework. SAREF4ECHONET enhances the semantic interoperability of ECHONET-based appliances and paves the way for the automatic achievement of interoperability between ECHONET Lite and the ECHONET Lite Web API with other systems through semantic technologies., This paper introduces the SAREF4ECHONET ontology, an extension of the Smart Applications REFerence ontology (SAREF) for the international standard IEC:62394, which defines the ECHONET Device Objects specification―a widely used standard for modeling smart home appliances in Japan.
