Internet of Things (IoT) / Web of Things (WoT) Describe an example of an IoT system in which information and knowledge are inferred from data. A weather monitoring system where sensors sends raw data values, ex (((67,25);(67,24)), for humidity and temperature. Context is added to the data in form of tuples ex (“humidity”, 67). This gives us information and knowledge can be obtained by…
