                                                                           1
Once upon a time, there was the Web
                                      2
… and then it grew (ca. 2012)
                                3
Who or what is the culprit?




                 User generated content, new types of media, etc.


                                                                    4
A cross-country flight from New York to Los Angeles on a
Boeing 737 plane generates a massive 240 terabytes of data
                                          - GigaOmni Media




                       What happens when all THINGS go online?
                   (sensors, devices, and appliances begin to publish data)
                                                                              5

                                                           6
How are machines supposed to make sense
of this noisy, ambiguous, heterogeneous, deluge of data?




                                     RDF       OWL
Semantic Web
                                        (according to Farside)


                                                    Concrete Facts
                                                   Resource Description Framework

                                                    Person                 Animal

~ 50 Billion Statements




                          10
SW is now moving from academia into industry




                                           11
Apple
                                                       Siri
                               Watson


In the last few years, we have seen many successes …


                                          Knowledge Graph




                                                               12
13
Now, what about the Sensor Web?




                                  14
Sensor systems are too often stovepiped




                                      15
We want to set this data free

With freedom comes responsibility
1. discovery, access, and search
2. integration and interpretation




                                    16

                                    19
So, again …

How are machines supposed to make sense of this
noisy, ambiguous, heterogeneous, deluge of data?




                   Semantic Sensor Networks (SSN)




                                                   RDF   OWL

In the next century, planet earth will don an electronic skin. It will use the
Internet as a scaffold to support and transmit its sensations. This skin is
already being stitched together. It consists of millions of embedded electronic
measuring devices.
