1 Scope
The present document provides requirements for an initial semantic model extending SAREF for eHealth/Ageing-well.
This initial SAREF extension is based on a limited set of use cases and existing data models identified within available
initiatives that are summarized in dedicated clauses of the present document. The conducted work is expected to be
developed in close collaboration with in particular ETSI (in particular EP eHealth and TC SmartBAN), oneM2M,
AIOTI (in particular WG 05 "Smart Living Environment for Ageing Well"), and the H2020 Large Scale Pilots
(ACTIVAGE project). Other initiatives coming from eHealth/Ageing-well industrial/medical world and alliances (e.g.
HL7, PCHAlliance) will also be investigated. Further extensions are envisaged in the future for entirely covering the
eHealth/Ageing-well domain.

4 SAREF extension for eHealth/Ageing-well domain
SAREF [i.1] is a reference ontology for IoT created in close interaction with the industry during a study requested by
the European Commission in 2015 [i.2] and subsequently transferred into an ETSI Technical Specification [i.3].
SAREF contains core concepts that are common to several IoT domains and, to be able to handle specific data elements
for a certain domain, dedicated extensions of SAREF can be created. Each domain can have one or more extensions,
depending on the complexity of the domain. As a reference ontology, SAREF serves as the means to connect the
extensions in different domains. The earlier document ETSI TR 103 411 [i.4] specifies the rationale and methodology
used to create, publish and maintain the SAREF extensions.
The present document specifies the requirements for an initial SAREF extension for eHealth/Ageing-well. This initial
SAREF extension will be based on a limited set of use cases and existing data models identified within available
initiatives that will be summarized in dedicated clauses of the present document. The work conducted in the present
document has been developed in the context of the STF 566, which was established with the goal of creating SAREF
extensions for the following domains: Automotive, eHealth/Ageing-well, Wearables and Water. This work is expected
to be developed in close collaboration with ETSI, oneM2M, AIOTI, eHealth/Ageing-well related H2020 Large Scale
Pilots and EU projects. However, other initiatives coming from eHealth/Ageing-well industrial/medical world and
alliances will also be investigated.
STF 566 consists of the following two main tasks:
1) Gather requirements, collect use cases and identify existing sources (e.g. standards, data models, ontologies,
etc.) from the domains of interest (Automotive, eHealth/Ageing-well, Wearables and Water) in order to
determine the requirements for an initial semantic model for each of the aforementioned domains, based on at
least 2 use cases and existing data models (STF 566 Task 2).
2) Specify and produce the extensions of SAREF for each of the aforementioned domain based on the
requirements resulting of STF 566 Task 2 (STF 566 Task 3).
The present document focuses on STF 566 Task 2 and the extension of SAREF for eHealth/Ageing-well domain. The
present document sets the requirements of an initial semantic model that will result in a new SAREF ontology extension
for eHealth/Ageing-well, called SAREF4EHAW and to be published in ETSI TS 103 410-8 [i.21] as part of STF 566
Task 3 SAREF extensions series.
5 Related initiatives
5.0 Introduction
Within clause 5 of the present document, some of the main related initiatives in term of modelling and standardization
in the eHealth/Ageing-well domain are reviewed. Existing efforts range from national or international standards to
rather specific models used in certain software solutions provided by industrial/medical world actors. Therefore, the
potential stakeholders identified for this SAREF extension might be classified as: public administrations, associations
related to the Internet of Things and eHealth/Ageing-well, European projects and Large Scale Pilots, standardization
bodies and alliances related to the Internet of Things and eHealth/Ageing-well domain, as well as industrial/medical
world and alliances initiatives of the eHealth/Ageing-well domain. For each type of stakeholder, the initiatives that have
been taken into account are described next.
5.1 Standardization bodies
5.1.1 IEEE
IEEE 802.15.6 Working Group on Body Area Network [i.5]: "A communication standard optimized for low power
devices and operation on, in or around the human body (but not limited to humans) to serve a variety of applications
including medical, consumer electronics/personal entertainment and other." However, only aspects related to radio
technologies and Physical and MAC layers are addressed.

5.1.2 ETSI
ETSI Project (EP) eHealth should form the 'horizontal' nucleus for the co-ordination of ETSI' activities in the Health
ICT domain. EP eHealth works in close co-operation with all relevant TCs, EPs and SCs within ETSI, 3GPP, and
others. It has in particular the following responsibilities:
• Collect and define the Health ICT related requirements gaps from relevant stakeholders.
• Identify gaps and suggest further standardization activities to fill those gaps.
• Input the requirements, identified gaps and suggested new activities to the concerned ETSI Technical Bodies.
• Develop Health ICT related deliverables in all areas not covered by existing system specific and horizontal
Technical Bodies or other SDO.
• Co-ordinate ETSI positions on Health ICT related issues and represent ETSI externally.
EP eHealth in particular is developing ETSI TR 103 477 [i.6] presenting typical eHealth domain use cases, from their
analysis (actors and their ro
