Keynote talk by David De Roure at SSN workshop at ISWC 2012, Boston, 12 November 2012
In many respects the music industry has gone digital "end-to-end", with success stories in Semantic Web adoption. Science too is dealing with a "digital turn" and the R&D community is active with Semantic Web. Meanwhile the Semantic Sensor Network workshop series has demonstrated the applicability of Semantic Web approaches in the sensor network domain. Looking to the future, what can we learn from music and science – and what can they learn from us? In this talk I will draw examples from music and science and introduce a discussion on future work in Semantic Sensor Networks.
3. Mo7va7on
• This
workshop
series
has
successfully
demonstrated
that
Seman7c
Web
technologies
can
be
used
with
sensor
networks
• It
hasn’t
necessarily
demonstrated
that
they
are
the
technology
of
choice
• What
can
we
learn
from
the
applica7on
of
Seman7c
Web
elsewhere?

three of us in the new Olympic

31. The
Order
of
Social
Machines
Real life is and must be full of all kinds of
social constraint – the very processes
from which society arises. Computers
can help if we use them to create
abstract social machines on the Web:
processes in which the people do the
creative work and the machine does the
administration… The stage is set for an
evolutionary growth of new social
engines. Berners-Lee, Weaving the Web, 1999

40. Provoca7ons
1. Do
we
have
examples
of
end-‐to-‐end
seman7cs
in
SSN?
2. How
do
we
share
the
methods
for
processing
sensor
data?
(soLware,
workflows,
automa7on,
…)
– Provenance,
trust,
reproducibility?
(Linked
Science,
Provenance)
3. Are
we
considering
SSN
as
sociotechnical
systems?
– What
are
the
social
objects
in
SSN?
(data?)
– Social
life
of
objects
(bikes)
– Sensors
as
Ci7zens!

4. What
can

do
in

with

and
music?
– The
studio
as

network?
Crea7vity?

5. Can
our
community
build
a

infrastructure
to
advance
the
work?
– More

as
