Abstract

This paper addresses a semantic stream processing pipeline, including data collection, semantic annotation, RDF data storage and query processing. We investigate whether the semantic annotation step could be moved on the edge, by designing and evaluating two alternative processing architectures. Experiments show that the edge processing fulfills the low-latency requirement, facilitating the parallel processing of the semantic enrichment for the sensor data.
