Abstract
Disclosed is a method and system for identifying a sensor to be deployed in a physical environment. The method may comprise storing sensor data and metadata of the plurality of sensors in a data store. Further, the method may comprise deriving sensor information comprising at least one of thematic information, temporal information, and spatial information. The method may further comprise creating sensor ontology to define a relationship between the sensor data, the metadata, and the sensor information. The sensor ontology may be stored in a knowledge repository of the data store. The method may further comprise receiving and decomposing the search query into at least one of a basic query component and an inferred query component. Finally, the method may comprise executing the basic query component or the inferred query component on the data store and the knowledge repository respectively in order to identify the sensor.
