On-the-fly generation of multidimensional data cubes for web of things

Abstract

The dynamicity of sensor data sources and publishing real-time sensor data over a generalised infrastructure like the Web pose a new set of integration challenges. Semantic Sensor Networks demand excessive expressivity for efficient formal analysis of sensor data. This article specifically addresses the problem of adapting data model specific or context-specific properties in automatic generation of multidimensional data cubes. The idea is to generate data cubes on-the-fly from syntactic sensor data to sustain decision making, event processing and to publish this data as Linked Open Data.
