A number of government, corporate, and academic
organizations are collecting enormous amounts of data provided by environmental sensors. However, this data is too often locked within organizations and underutilized by the greater community. In this paper, we present a framework to make this sensor data openly accessible by
publishing it on the Linked Open Data (LOD) Cloud. This is accomplished by converting raw sensor observations to RDF and linking with other datasets on LOD. With such a framework, organizations can make large amounts of sensor data openly accessible, thus allowing greater opportunity for utilization and analysis.

27. TERMINOLOGY Semantic Web – is an extension of the current web in which datais expressed in a common vocabulary making such that the data becomes machine processable. Ontology– is a specification of concepts and relationships between them. Triple- a ternary relation containing an entity pair and a relationship that expresses the link between them i.e. subject-predicate-object Entity/Concept– an instance of a thing URI– a unique identifier for any resource/entity/thing on the web LOD- a semantic web initiative to provide a repository of semantically connected datasets 18
