SEMANTIC QUERY OVER DISTRIBUTED SEMANTIC DESCRIPTORS

摘要

Currently there is no existing solution for semantic query processing directly over distributed semantic descriptors (e.g., oneM2M semanticDescriptor resources). Discussed herein are multiple applications for semantic query over distributed semantic descriptors. In a first exemplary method, semantic query is considered when information is stored in a single semantic descriptor. In a second exemplary method, semantic query is considered when information that is requested or otherwise needed is not stored in semantic descriptors. In a third exemplary method, semantic query is considered when information is distributed in different but related semantic descriptors. In a fourth exemplary method, semantic query is considered when information is distributed in different and unrelated or peer semantic descriptors. In a fifth method, there may be indirect querying of information from targeted resources by leveraging existing semantic resource discovery mechanisms.
