A scalable Internet of Things Lean Data provision architecture based on ontology

The paper proposes a data management platform with an open architecture for converting huge amount of various and cluttered data into Lean Data, which provides customer-expected service and can be then encapsulated as service packages to be used by different application developers. Ontology is used to provide a unified way for data flow description and semantic data storage to achieve a unified understanding among different layers and modules. A case study for routing optimization in the industry of intelligent transportation is illustrated to show how the platform works, and he potential business value of such platform is also indicated in this paper.
