Abstract

Semantics may be embedded in the name of sensory data. In an embodiment, an identification of sensory data is created based on attributes that include at least one of time, location, or type.

Claims

1. A device comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled with the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising;

receiving a first sensory data with first attributes comprising a first time attribute, a first location attribute, and a first type attribute; and

creating a first name for the sensory data based on the first time attribute, the first location attribute, and the first type attribute.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the executable instructions cause the processor to effectuate further operations comprising:

publishing the first name to a server, wherein the server stores the first name to enable queries to be made on the sensory data based on the first time attribute, the first location attribute, or the first type attribute.

3. The device of claim 1, wherein the executable instructions cause the processor to effectuate further operations comprising:

aggregating the first sensory data with a second sensory data, the second sensory data having second attributes comprising a second time attribute, a second location attribute, or a second type attribute; and

assigning the first name to the aggregated first sensory data and second sensory data.

4. The device of claim 1, wherein the executable instructions cause the processor to effectuate further operations comprising:

providing instructions to display the first name on a display.

5. The device of claim 1, wherein the first location attribute comprises a geohash tag.

6. The device of claim 1, wherein the first name comprises a message digest of the first type.

7. The device of claim 1, wherein the first name comprises a message digest of the first time attribute.

8. The device of claim 1, wherein the device comprises a sensor.

9. The device of claim 1, wherein the first name comprises a device identifier of the device.

10. A computer readable storage medium comprising computer executable instructions that when executed by a computing device cause said computing device to perform the instructions comprising:

receiving a first sensory data with first attributes comprising a first time attribute, a first location attribute, and a first type attribute; and

creating a first name for the sensory data based on the first time attribute, the first location attribute, and the first type attribute.

11. The computer readable storage medium of claim 10, further instructions comprising:

publishing the first name to a server, wherein the server stores the first name to enable queries to be made on the sensory data based on the first time attribute, the first location attribute, or the first type attribute.

12. The computer readable storage medium of claim 10, further instructions comprising:

aggregating the first sensory data with a second sensory data, the second sensory data having second attributes comprising a second time attribute, a second location attribute, or a second type attribute; and

assigning the first name to the aggregated first sensory data and second sensory data.

13. The computer readable storage medium of claim 10, further instructions comprising:

providing instructions to display the first name.

14. The computer readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein the first location attribute comprises a geohash tag.

15. The computer readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein the first name comprises the message digest of the first type attribute.

16. The computer readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein the first name comprises the message digest of the first time attribute.

17. The computer readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein the computing device comprises a sensor.

18. The computer readable storage medium of claim 10, wherein the first name comprises a device identifier of the computing device.

19. A method comprising:

observing, by a sensor, a sensory data with a value, wherein the sensory data with the value has attributes comprising a time attribute, a location attribute, and a type attribute;

creating, by the sensor, a name for the sensory data based on the time attribute, the location attribute, and the value attribute; and

publishing, by the sensor, the name to a server.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein the server receives queries for the sensory data, the queries comprising the time attribute, the location attribute, the value attribute, or a type attribute.
