Abstract

Fast growing structured knowledge in machine processable formats such as RDF/OWL provides the opportunity of having automatic annotation for stream data in order to extract meaningful information. In this work, we propose a system architecture to model the process of stream data annotation in an automatized fashion using public repositories of knowledge. We employ abductive reasoning which is capable of retrieving the best explanations for observations given incomplete knowledge. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the framework, we use multivariate data coming from medical sensors observing a patient in ICU (Intensive Care Unit) suffering from several diseases as the ground truth against which the eventual explanations (annotations) of the reasoner are compared.
