TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to methods, devices, and systems for building automation system visualization from ontology.

BACKGROUND

At a facility, users may use one or more visualizations to install, maintain, and/or monitor facility systems and/or devices. Visualizations can include diagrams such as line, branching, and/or schematic diagrams, for instance, among other types of visualizations.

Previous approaches to generating schematic visualizations may fall short due to the intricacies involved in schematic visualizations. Moreover, previous approaches may lack a unified model. Some previous approaches, for instance, may utilize a static picture to present devices and/or relationships between devices. In such approaches, a visualization may be created individually by a user having knowledge of the building automation system (BAS) to be depicted in the visualization. That is, one or more users may create and/or modify a visualization using a computerized drawing tool (e.g., diagramming software). Such approaches may be time-consuming, especially so in cases where the desired visualization is complex. In addition, previous approaches become obsolete in the face of change(s) such as when, for example, a device is installed or removed from the facility.
