Summary: | The usefulness of semantic technologies in the context of security has been
demonstrated many times, e.g., for processing certification evidence, log
files, and creating security policies. Integrating semantic technologies, like
ontologies, in an automated workflow, however, is cumbersome since they
introduce disruptions between the different technologies and data formats that
are used. This is especially true for modern cloud-native applications, which
rely heavily on technologies such as protobuf. In this paper we argue that
these technology disruptions represent a major hindrance to the adoption of
semantic technologies into the cloud and more effort and research is required
to overcome them. We created one such approach called $\textit{owl2proto}$,
which provides an automatic translation of OWL ontologies into the protobuf
data format. We showcase the seamless integration of an ontology and
transmission of semantic data in an already existing cloud micro-service. |
