Along with the continuous development of the sensor network technology, sensors from all over the world are constantly producing sensor data. However, the sensor data from different source is hard to work together for lack of semantic. Fortunately, SSN ontology provide a way to represent sensor data semantically, but how to transform sensor data into the instance of SSN ontology conveniently is still an issue to be considered. This paper proposed a solution to map sensor data to SSN ontology automatically based on a predefined XML-based We design a mapping language SASML (Sensors Annotation and Semantic Mapping Language) which provide a schema to annotate sensors and sources so as to generate a XML document for mapping. Then, an algorithm (namely SDRM) is designed to automatically transform sensor data, which described by SASML, to RDF conforming to SSN ontology, according to the mapping document and the element correspondences between the SASML and SSN ontology. Further, a case study about sensor data from greenhouse is presented to illustrate our method, and a prototype is also developed to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness.
