Semantic Exploration of Sensor Data

Published: 03 November 2014 Publication History

Abstract

With governments and administrations releasing open linked data, and with the gradual rise of sensor deployments across the world, semantic queries on the combined sensor and linked data has become a need to provide several intelligent smart city services and applications. The data is represented in form of triples (RDF), concepts and relations in form of ontologies (OWL) and the corresponding query language is SPARQL as per standards of Semantic Web. In this paper, a system for sensor exploration is presented, which takes a set of keywords, context, data, learned and background knowledge as input and produces the intentioned result as output. The system tries to keep the underlying semantic web technologies transparent to the end user. The relevant challenges and the scope of future work is also discussed.
