N2 - This paper posits a smart ecosystem as a complex system with several interdependent components or subsystems: Smart city (or larger area), smart buildings, smart office, smart manufacturing, smart life. Understanding, design, and operation of such a system should be supported by a comprehensive ontology. The paper gives a short introduction to the structure of ontologies as consisting of a schema-level ontology - an elaborated entity-relationship model - and many entity-value-level ontologies - for each entity type a list or taxonomy of entity values or a specification how entity values should be formatted (such as the XML format for date and time). The paper outlines a process of developing a comprehensive ontology by collecting and integrating specifications from many sources and illustrates this process by building a very preliminary taxonomy of (smart) ecosystem functions from seven sources. Making ecosystems smart can improve the quality of life and contribute to more sustainable communities. All rights reserved.
