Outline • Multi-Domain Sensor Networking • Experiences in Live E! Project • Space of the Semantics • Managing Semantic Interoperability • Summary
Multi-Domain Sensor Networking User in C • Possible: Sharing of sensor data by standard protocols • Question: How to share the semantics of data • Where and How the data were observed. • What the data represents. • Sensor data can be heterogeneous regarding to semantics User in A Organization C Organization A sensor sensor Organization B sensor Semantic interoperability is necessity in multi-domain sensor networking.

Important Lessons • A user cannot actually use the data without identifying the background difference !! • In the example, the method of observation must be identified. • Structural difference • Sampling rate • Moving average • Accuracy • ... • This is also true to the other semantic differences.
