DATA CAPTURING AND RETRIEVAL FROM WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS USING SEMANTIC WEB

The Internet of Things is giving a bright future and with establishment and maturity of wireless sensor networks, it can be truly realised for the various purposes of human endeavour. The paper deals with challenge to integrate the data coming from heterogeneous sensor networks coming from various geographical locations. A Sensor Web Registry is proposed to achieve this task. The outcome of this effort is further realised by using Semantic Web Technologies like Ontologies, OWL, SPARQL and Python. The paper used all this practically using a Micaz Sensor Boards with Zigbee protocol in a lab setup.
