Nowadays, Internet of Things (IoT) application development must deal with a variety of devices, wireless protocols, types of gateways and particularities about each sensor. This paper presents Deklaer, an Ontology-Driven framework to facilitate the development and deployment of IoT applications. We use ContextNet, witch is a middleware for IoT applications, and a declarative language implemented using an OWL ontology that provides a way for the developer to describe which sensors to use. Moreover, depending on the data acquired by each sensor, which is the actuation that the application is to effect as response to the sensor's data. Also, we present ICare, which is an application created using Deklaer, to monitor physiological data of elderly people with special needs.
