Semantic IoT: Theory and Applications

Abstract

The Semantic Web supports a set of technologies that exploit the standardization of the semantic representation of informational resources available on the web, representing the evolution of the current web. It provides a mechanism for formatting data in a machine-readable manner. Helping people in certain activities are done manually and end up consuming a lot of time in human daily life, linking individual properties of these data with globally accessible schemes. Since with so much information evolution in digital searches is inevitable, which with this technology provides ease and provides inferences about sates in scalable activities and modes. Therefore, this chapter aims to provide an overview of the semantic web and technology behind the semantic web search Engines, showing and approaching its success relation, with a concise bibliographic background, categorizing and synthesizing the potential of both technologies.
