METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ONTOLOGY-DRIVEN QUERYING AND PROGRAMMING OF SENSORS

Described embodiments relate to a method of ontology-driven querying or programming of at least one sensor. The method comprises generating at a query origin a query or command for execution in relation to the at least one sensor, transmitting the query or command to an ontology transformer over a first network, classifying the query or command according to a domain ontology and one or more predetermined capabilities of the at least one sensor, generating a transformed query or program based on the classified query or command using one or more code fragments stored in a memory accessible to the ontology transformer, transmitting the transformed query or program to at least one sensor node in communication with the at least one sensor for execution of the transformed query or program by the at least one sensor node in relation to the at least one sensor, receiving at the ontology transformer from the at least one sensor node at least one result of the query or program, and returning the at least one result.
