Abstract

Nowadays, studies on the fusion of Semantic Web technologies are being carried out to promote the interoperability and value of sensor data in an IoT environment. To accomplish this, the semantic translation of sensor data is essential for convergence with service domain knowledge. The existing semantic translation technique, however, involves translating from static metadata into semantic data(RDF), and cannot properly process real-time and large-scale features in an IoT environment. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a technique for translating large-scale streaming sensor data generated in an IoT environment into semantic data, using real-time and parallel processing. In this technique, we define rules for semantic translation and store them in the semantic repository. The sensor data is translated in real-time with parallel processing using these pre-defined rules and an ontology-based semantic model. To improve the performance, we use the Apache Storm, a real-time big data analysis framework for parallel processing. The proposed technique was subjected to performance testing with the AWS observation data of the Meteorological Administration, which are large-scale streaming sensor data for demonstration purposes.

최근 사물인터넷 환경에서는 발생하는 센서데이터의 가치와 데이터의 상호운용성을 증진시키기 위해 시맨틱웹 기술과의 접목에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이를 위해서는 센서데이터와 서비스 도메인 지식의 융합을 위한 센서데이터의 시맨틱화는 필수적이다. 하지만 기존의 시맨틱 변환기술은 정적인 메타데이터를 시맨틱 데이터(RDF)로 변환하는 기술이며, 이는 사물인터넷 환경의 실시간성, 대용량성의 특징을 제대로 처리할 수 없는 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 사물인터넷 환경에서 발생하는 대용량 스트리밍 센서데이터의 실시간 병렬처리를 통해 시맨틱 데이터로 변환하는 기법을 제시한다. 본 기법에서는 시맨틱 변환을 위한 변환규칙을 정의하고, 정의된 변환규칙과 온톨로지 기반 센서 모델을 통해 실시간 병렬로 센서데이터를 시맨틱 변환하여 시맨틱 레파지토리에 저장한다. 성능향상을 위해 빅데이터 실시간 분석 프레임워크인 아파치 스톰을 이용하여, 각 변환작업을 병렬로 처리한다. 이를 위한 시스템을 구현하고, 대용량 스트리밍 센서데이터인 기상청 AWS 관측데이터를 이용하여 제시된 기법에 대한 성능평가를 진행하여, 본 논문에서 제시된 기법을 입증한다.
