Linked Data Use and the Internet of Things Stephan Haller, SAP Research May 2011
The Internet of Things will provide a massive amountofdataaboutthephysicalworld…. … But howtomake sense ofit all ?? Enormouspossibilities!!
An example… • After Fukushima on Pachube http://community.pachube.com/node/611#3d, 31.3.2011
Manypeopleconnectedradiationsensors… http://japan.failedrobot.com/, 31.3.2011
Cool, but … • Data qualityofvarioussources • Accuracyofeachdatapoint • Sensor reliabilityandavailiability • Time ofmeasurement • Importantfortrust! • Unit jungle: • nGy/s, mSv/h, μSv/h, Bq/kg, cpm … • Sometimesmisleading, sometimes just hardtocompare… • Mix ofdatasources • Real sensors • Virtual sensors (datascrapingfrom web pages, e.g., http://www.houshasen-pref-ibaraki.jp/present/result01.html)
How can Linked Data help? Information Visualization & Navigation Service Consumption … Information Integration Novel Applications & Infrastructure Services • Integration ofdatafromvarioussources • Annotation • Comparability • Ready-made consumptionbyotherservicesandapplications Integrated „View“ of Linked Resources Linked Data, Services, Processes linkable LOD Cloud • linked wrt. To terms & processes • RDF representation Graph-based Models Information Integration & Federation Data Annotation (semi-) automated Analysis “RDF 4 Sensors” Web pages Legacy Systems
The PromiseofLinked Data forIoT… • Interoperable IoT knowledge layer on top of emerging IoT architectures • Vocabularies and ontologies to represent IoT resources and data according to linked data standards • Unified query processing and reasoning for highly dynamic spatio-temporal IoT data across a multitude of IoTresources • Run-time query plan optimization algorithms
But isLinked Data reallysuitablefortheIoT? • Who toannotate? • RDF cumbersome • Incentives? • Automation possible? • Whereistheannotationandtheprocessingdone? • Constrainedenvironments • Balance betweenedgeandnetwork • Static vs. streameddata • Data fromsensorsasstreamsof (mostly) irrelevant data
W3C Effortsunderway • SPARQL Query Language for RDF • W3C recommendation • IoT-specific issues to be addressed: • Spatio-temporal properties of IoT data • Continuous query processing involving multiple data sources • Binary RDF Representation for Publication and Exchange (HDT) • W3C Submission • Header-Dictionary Triples • Constrained environments • W3C Semantic Sensor Network Incubator Group • Bring sensor data to a semantic level • Capabilities of sensors • Linked Stream Data
Anda final setofquestions … • Social-network-likeproviders • Individualsareputtingsensorsanddata on the web • Howreliablearethese? • Data quality • Availability • Whatincentiveisnecessary so thattheyprovide RDF annotations? • Commercial providers • Guarantueed SLAs • New businessmodelsandrolesneeded? • Howtocommercialize, e.g., (micro-) billingforservice/datause?
Summary • UsingLinked Data fortheIoTcould form thebasisfor an interoperable knowledgelayeraboutthephysicalworld • Possiblynewbusinessrolesandplayersemerging • But therearechallenges… • Annotation / metadatarequired • Constrainedenvironments • Streameddata
