Abstract

Meta data 驴 data about data 驴 improves the value of the operational data by giving applications and users additional information on the dataýs origin, its precision or staleness. We outline the benefits of modeling meta data in context models: it can be used for resource finding, enhanced data selection, trust and data quality issues and sensor fusion. We show how meta data included into an object-based context model influences the data modeling and the selection process in the query language. Finally, we describe our implementation of the presented functionality in the Nexus platform.
