340 Semantic as an Interoperability Enabler in Internet of Things
The motivation for the users to participate and include their own sensors
will be the benefits of the tools and applications that collaboratively are being
developed, in conjunction with the solutions that the community is defining.
These tools will be mainly the data mining (Big Data) tools for data analysis,
the planning tools for building dynamic logic, visualization tools for webbased
and mobile platforms, the access to M2M and data storage platforms,
and finally access to the data from outdoor, weather stations, prognostics, and
models.
The motivation for the Telcos will be offer connectivity for the end-users
sensors, i.e. offer the M2M architecture through 3G/4G networks, in addition to
the Cloud-based platforms for data plan storage, as the existing USN platform
from Telefonica.
The motivation for the electricity suppliers and networks is get a better
prediction of the availability, planning, and offer more accurate accounting
and more competitive subscription rates to the customers depending on their
smart metering data.
Finally, the motivation for all is that through the collaboration and the
integration of multiple data sources, it can be reached more powerful solutions,
better data-analysis, more accurate data-driven modeling, situation awareness,
and in definitive better solutions. For example, regarding scenarios such as
smart cities and building automation be able to offer a higher energy and cost
reductions for all of us.
