Abstract

There are millions of sensors being deployed all over the world. Data generated by these sensors is provided in different formats and interfaces and is rarely associated with semantics that describe its meaning. The heterogeneity and lack of semantic descriptions pose a big barrier for accessing sensor data and combining it with other data sources.

The Live Linked Open Sensor Database project is the first project to provide a live database of semantically enriched sensor data, where each sensor reading is extended by adding proper metadata and by linking it to resources in the Linked Open Data Cloud. Currently, the database provides information of approximately 200,000 sensors and we are currently working on expanding it to incorporate even more data sources.
