Semantic Sensor Network Ontology - 2023 Edition
First Public Working Draft- Tags
- Data
The Semantic Sensor Network ontology (SSN) describes actuators and their actuations, sensors and their observations, samplers and their samplings, the procedures implemented, the features of interest and samples changed or studied, and the actuated and observed properties. The core SSN classes and properties are defined using minimal axiomatization in a module called SOSA (Sensor, Observation, Sample, and Actuator) supplemented with additional axiomatization and terms in further modules. These allow SSN to support a wide range of applications and use cases, including satellite imagery, large-scale scientific monitoring, industrial and household infrastructures, social sensing, citizen science, observation-driven ontology engineering, and the Web of Things. Alignments to some existing ontologies and specifications are provided. Patterns for application of SSN are provided.
Semantic Sensor Network Ontology
Recommendation- Tags
- Data
The Semantic Sensor Network Ontology (commonly known as "SSN" is an ontology for describing sensors and the observations they make of the physical world. SSN is published in a modular architecture that supports the judicious use of "just enough" ontology for diverse applications, including satellite imagery, large scale scientific monitoring, industrial and household infrastructure, citizen observers, and Web of Things.
