The Mobile MEASURE Metrology Knowledge Schema: an Artificial Intelligence Reasoning over Metrology

Abstract

Mobile devices offer measuring capabilities using embedded or connected sensors. Development teams find many uses of those in order to retrieve data that enables to capture the execution context of applications. Considering that performed measurements might be used in rigorous contexts ; measurement procedures are critical and must produce reliable results.
The definition of correct measurement procedures requires to handle the rules specified by metrology. Such expertise is rarely found in development teams.
We present here how to implement the sub SI, a basic Knowledge Representation encoding specific rules and knowledge of the metrology. This works as an expert system able to reason and answer questions about simple systems of units. The capabilities of the Metrology Knowledge Schema, an extension of the presented work are presented. It is dedicated to the validation of measurement procedures accordingly to users defined system of units.
