  • Description: Abstract:This paper describes the development of an architecture for the discovery of sensor services leveraging ontology‐based semantics in the search query. A prototype has been implemented based upon the architecture and can be used to support the development of expert system applications in which sensors of certain types, operational capabilities or physical properties are required to support applications within a network‐centric environment. In the prototype, sensor services are listed in a registry that references a machine‐interpretable ontology. The registry conforms to the Universal Discovery and Description Interface (UDDI) specification, but it is augmented with semantic matching via an ontology to increase the likelihood that relevant sensor services are discovered when needed by expert system applications.
