ABSTRACT

The Internet of Things (IoT) is having a fast adoption in the industry and with no doubt, in today’s increasingly competitive innovation-driven marketplace, individuals need skills to transform the growing amount of industry, product, and customer data into actionable information to support strategic and tactical decisions at the organisations. This chapter provides an overall vision on best practices and trends to perform analytics, and addresses innovative approaches using semantics to facilitate the integration of different sources of information. It analyses complementary research fields covering reasoning and semantic web approaches towards the common goal of enriching data within IoT. Linked Open Reasoning provides a solution to deduce meaningful information from IoT data and aims to share the way to interpret data in an interoperable way. In recent years, a significant number of technologies that facilitate real-time and linked stream processing have also emerged.
