Domain Experts Surfing on Stream Sensor Data over Ontologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
An increasing number of sensors are being deployed in business critical environments, systems, and equipments; and stream vast amount of data. The operational efficiency and effectiveness of business processes relies on domain experts’ agility in interpreting data into actionable business information. Yet domain experts rarely have technical skills and knowledge on formal data retrieval tools, such as textual query languages, to specify and extract data of interest. In this paper, we report an ontology-based visual query system, namely OptiqueVQS, how it is extended for a stream query language called STARQL, and its first encounter with domain experts at Siemens AG. OptiqueVQS is valuable also conceptually as an instance of the end-user programming paradigm in pervasive environments aiming to empower end users to orchestrate data and devices distributed across the physical environment.

متن کاملEvent dashboard: Capturing user-defined semantics events for event detection over real-time sensor data
Sensor networks provide the ability to observe physical phenomena in real-time and provide useful information to help conservation and management of environmental resources. However, sensor data meaning, format and interface heterogeneity are barriers to effective discovery and analysis of events of interest. We propose a web-based user application, the Event Dashboard, which facilitates user c...
متن کاملOptiqueVQS: Visual Query Formulation for OBDA
Motivation Ontology Based Data Access (OBDA) [16] is a recently proposed prominent approach that aims at providing domain experts with a direct access to available enterprise data sources without IT-experts being involved. OBDA is an alternative to centralised approaches, where an IT-expert translates the requirements of domain experts into Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) processes to first integr...
