Semantic Sensor Web
open-in-new
<p>The Semantic Sensor Web (SSW) is a marriage of <a href="/facts/Sensor_web/yPBJjxPF">sensor web</a> and <a href="/facts/Semantic_Web/NFHo9dB7">semantic Web</a> technologies. The encoding of sensor descriptions and sensor observation data with Semantic Web languages enables more expressive representation, advanced access, and formal analysis of sensor resources. The SSW annotates sensor data with spatial, temporal, and thematic semantic metadata. This technique builds on current standardization efforts within the <a href="/facts/Open_Geospatial_Consortium/uDKbX6Cl">Open Geospatial Consortium</a>'s Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) and extends them with <a href="/facts/Semantic_Web/NFHo9dB7">Semantic Web</a> technologies to provide enhanced descriptions and access to sensor data. </p>
