Abstract

In this work, a data-based methodology is proposed to obtain an ontology that describes the predominant economic activities of the municipalities of Mexico. The learned ontology is based on Word embedding techniques and unsupervised learning with data from the National Statistical Directory of Economic Units (DENUE). The proposed model differs from some other ontology proposals that are based on subjective estimates of experts in the smart city domain. In contrast, this proposal determines economic activities that already exist in the municipalities of Mexico and proposes an ontology that describes the municipalities in terms of their development in concepts or dimensions. The main concepts found in this proposal are industry, economy, health, food, communications, culture, environment, mobility, among others. Thus, the ontology measures levels of development (similar or different) in each of these concepts for the municipalities of Mexico. In municipalities with similar levels of development, joint development opportunities can be discovered: what economic units a municipality is missing that another already has. This methodology can be extrapolated to other municipalities or cities in other countries if similar information on economic units is available.
