An Extensible Data Enrichment Scheme for Providing Intelligent Services in Internet of Things Environments

Recent technologies in the Internet of Things (IoT) environment aim to provide intelligent services to users. Intelligent services can be managed and executed by systems that handle context information sets. Handling intelligent services leads to three major considerations: objects in the real world that should be described as metadata, a data enrichment procedure from sensing values for representing states, and controlling functionalities to manage services. In this study, an extensible data-enrichment scheme is proposed. The proposed scheme provides a way to describe profiles, data abstraction procedures, and functionalities that support the building of context information sets derived from raw datasets in the manner of a semantic web stack. Finally, data enrichment will help any system that uses context information by providing improved, understandable, and readable datasets to the service developers or the systems themselves.
