Need and Relevance of Common Vocabularies and Ontologies in IoT Domain

Data plays a foremost part in Future Communication. Internet of Things encompasses various sources of data of different type, by different name. The complexity and variance in data increase the criticalness of the model. Same data has different meaning in different applications. These variances make it difficult to apply any query on data. To resolve the issues in naming of data values and to create consistency Vocabulary and Ontologies are must. Data gathered on a big platform e.g. for IoT via cloud need to manage data in proper manner, which is spread all over the internet on different servers. The features and related research is explained in this chapter, having a brief introduction with application areas.
