IoT-Stream: A Lightweight Ontology for Internet of Things Data Streams
2019
In recent years, the development and deployment
of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has led to the generation of
large volumes of real world data. Analytical models can be used to
extract meaningful insights from this data. However, most of IoT
data is not fully utilised, which is mainly due to interoperability
issues and the difficulties to analyse data collected by heterogeneous
resources. To overcome this heterogeneity, semantic
technologies are used to create common models to share various
data originated from heterogeneous sources. However, semantics
add further overhead to data delivery, and the processing time
to annotate the data with the model can increase the latency and
complexity in publishing and querying the annotated data. In
this paper, we present a lightweight semantic model to annotate
IoT streams. The metadata descriptions that are provided in the
models are used for search and discovery of the data using various
attributes such as value and type. The proposed model extends
commonly used ontologies such as W3C/OGC SSN ontology
and its recent lightweight core, SOSA, and includes concepts
to describe streaming IoT data. We also show use cases, tools
and applications where the proposed model has been used.
