The aim of this paper is to describe the results of an exploratory study which has been carried out to determine the role of metadata in an interoperability model for Wireless Sensor Networks. This model includes a description of the observations, processes, functionalities, status and configuration of a network to help improving the knowledge of a network itself, as well as to ensure the integration with other sensor networks. The results demonstrate the use of metadata to support different interoperability levels of Wireless Sensor Networks as a first step towards defining an interoperability model of Wireless Sensor Networks date: 2008 date_type: published official_url: http://www.gi-tage.de/archive/2008/index.php full_text_status: public pres_type: paper event_title: 5th GI-Days, 2008.
