A semantic infrastructure for a knowledge driven sensor web
Deshendran Moodley, Jules‐Raymond Tapamo · 2011
Abstract. Sensor Web researchers are currently investigating middleware to aid in the dynamic discovery, integration and analysis of vast quantities of high quality, but distributed and heterogeneous earth observation data. Key challenges being investigated include dynamic data integration and analysis, service discovery and semantic interoperability. However, few efforts deal with the management of both knowledge and system dynamism. Two emerging technologies that have shown promise in dealing with these issues are ontologies and software agents. This paper introduces the idea and identifies key requirements for a Knowledge Driven Sensor Web and presents our efforts towards developing an associated semantic infrastructure within the Sensor
