The paper presents research in the field of cultural heritage preservation and conservation by means of up-to-date information technologies including semantic approach and sensor networks, in particular. The subject of study is an ontology-based complex automation of museum-specific processes for microclimate parameters control. We present analysis of cultural heritage preservation domain and detect advantages and disadvantages of approaches used nowadays. Existing security vulnerabilities of such class of the systems are presented, threat classification is provided. It is shown that existing security systems and platforms of information systems and knowledge bases, widely used nowadays, cannot not fulfill requirements to security of knowledge bases as a result of many affecting factors and features. The work focuses on both reasons to apply general model-based approach using sensor networks as well as general model-based approach to knowledge security as the only approach able to differentiate facts from inferred knowledge, thus, providing security of the system in general. A set of ontologies is provided for filling the gaps of existing approaches: domain ontology for formalization of museum entities and security ontology for formalization of museum security facilities and for knowledge graph-based inference restrictions depending on access level. Concepts related to network devices and the Internet of things and a new access level are introduced. An innovative Transit Traversal access lever allows for traversing the graph to a final node via other nodes with restricted access. A system based on the provided ontology integrated with Goscatalog enables modernization of climate control and exhibition organization processes as well as ensuring both museum internal security and security of integration with external organizations.
