9. A computer-readable storage device including instructions stored thereon, the instructions, which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising: receiving a query; in response to receiving a query, searching ontology data as a function of the query, the ontology data stored on a first memory, the ontology data defining interrelationships between a scanner associated with access to a room of an area under surveillance, a camera with a field of view at least partially overlapping a footprint of the room, an identifier configured to be scanned by the scanner and associated with a person, and a security policy including one or more predefined conditions, which when satisfied, indicate when a security threat exists, wherein the security policy includes a response an operator is to perform if the conditions are satisfied; in response to receiving a query, searching a relational database with temporal data and spatial data stored thereon, the temporal data including time series entries corresponding to scan logs of the scanner including a scan read that indicates a time at which the identifier was scanned, the scanner that scanned the identifier, and whether the person was allowed or denied access based on the scan read, and the spatial data including a location of the camera, a coverage area of the camera, a location of one or more doors to the room, a location of an asset in the room, and a location of the scanner; returning a result as a function of the ontology data, the temporal data, and the spatial data, the result including a predicted future path of the person, and a historical path of the person, wherein the security policy includes an asset-missing security response configured to automatically submit a periodic series of queries to the relational database, the periodic series of queries configured to search the ontology data, the spatial data, and the temporal data to perform operations of the asset-missing security response comprising: determining the room where an asset that went missing is supposed to be: determining one or more scanners that control access to the room; identifying one or more identifiers that were scanned by the one or more scanners in a specified time window; identifying one or more other scanners that have scanned the one or more identifiers in a list of identifiers of the temporal data in another specified time window; calculating the predicted future path of one or more persons associated with the one or more identifiers based on the one or more scanners; and providing, to a display module, display signals that cause the display module to provide a view of a floor plan of the area under surveillance, the floor plan including one or more icons overlaid thereon, the one or more icons indicating the location of the camera, the field of view of the camera, the location of the scanner, a location of the identifier, the one or more doors, the predicted future path of the person, a real-time image capture of the camera when a field of view of the camera intersects with the predicted future path of the person, and the historical path of the person and a view of security response steps informing the operator how to perform in accordance with the security policy.
9. A computer-readable storage device including instructions stored thereon, the instructions, which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising: receiving a query; in response to receiving a query, searching ontology data as a function of the query, the ontology data stored on a first memory, the ontology data defining interrelationships between a scanner associated with access to a room of an area under surveillance, a camera with a field of view at least partially overlapping a footprint of the room, an identifier configured to be scanned by the scanner and associated with a person, and a security policy including one or more predefined conditions, which when satisfied, indicate when a security threat exists, wherein the security policy includes a response an operator is to perform if the conditions are satisfied; in response to receiving a query, searching a relational database with temporal data and spatial data stored thereon, the temporal data including time series entries corresponding to scan logs of the scanner including a scan read that indicates a time at which the identifier was scanned, the scanner that scanned the identifier, and whether the person was allowed or denied access based on the scan read, and the spatial data including a location of the camera, a coverage area of the camera, a location of one or more doors to the room, a location of an asset in the room, and a location of the scanner; returning a result as a function of the ontology data, the temporal data, and the spatial data, the result including a predicted future path of the person, and a historical path of the person, wherein the security policy includes an asset-missing security response configured to automatically submit a periodic series of queries to the relational database, the periodic series of queries configured to search the ontology data, the spatial data, and the temporal data to perform operations of the asset-missing security response comprising: determining the room where an asset that went missing is supposed to be: determining one or more scanners that control access to the room; identifying one or more identifiers that were scanned by the one or more scanners in a specified time window; identifying one or more other scanners that have scanned the one or more identifiers in a list of identifiers of the temporal data in another specified time window; calculating the predicted future path of one or more persons associated with the one or more identifiers based on the one or more scanners; and providing, to a display module, display signals that cause the display module to provide a view of a floor plan of the area under surveillance, the floor plan including one or more icons overlaid thereon, the one or more icons indicating the location of the camera, the field of view of the camera, the location of the scanner, a location of the identifier, the one or more doors, the predicted future path of the person, a real-time image capture of the camera when a field of view of the camera intersects with the predicted future path of the person, and the historical path of the person and a view of security response steps informing the operator how to perform in accordance with the security policy. 10. The storage device of claim 9 , wherein the instructions further include instructions, which when executed by the machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising displaying a floor plan of the area under surveillance including more icons overlaid thereon including an entrance and an exit.
