IERC AC4 SEMANTIC INTEROPERABILITY WORKSHOP IoT Week 2012 Josiane Parreira
GAMBAS – Objectives • Development of a generic adaptive middleware for behavior-driven autonomous services that encompasses: • Models and infrastructures to support the interoperable representation and scalable processing of context. • Frameworks and methods to support the generic yet resource-efficient multi-modal recognition of context. • Protocols and tools to derive, generalize, and enforce user-specific privacy-policies. • Techniques and concepts to optimize the interaction with behavior-driven services. • Validation of the middlewareusing lab tests and a prototype application in the public transportation domain.
Interoperability issues • Heterogeneous devices • Heterogeneous data representations • Heterogeneous APIs • Lack of data semantics describing data meaning • Resource constrained devices • Sensors, mobile devices • Dynamic, frequently changing information • e.g., stream data from sensors • Large-scale, distributed networks • Data needs to be discoverable
GAMBAS approach towards interoperability • Linked Data paradigm to describe sensors and data streams • Associate meaning to raw data (e.g. feature of interest, accuracy, measuring condition, time point, location, etc. ) • Unified, yet flexible data representation • Integration with other existing Linked Data infrastructures. • Analysis of current sensor semantic descriptions • Semantic Sensors Networks ontology • Semantic annotations for OGC’s SWE Sensor Model Language • Development of required formalisms and ontologies to support semantic descriptions at sensor level
GAMBAS approach towards interoperability • Infrastructure to explore data storage and processing capabilities of mobile devices • SPARQL-like access down to the sensor level (lightweight) • Allow RDF Stream processing • Support generation of query execution plans that not only consider network and physical costs but also adapt to the dynamics of the data • Means of exchanging the descriptions of the data and devices • Allow devices to find relevant data, without knowing a priori the data’s particular location. • Develop infrastructures to support the discovery of dynamic data
