A brief description about Sensing Web:

The Sensing Web project was launched in Japan in the Fall of 2007. Its aim is to open the data obtained by the sensors already existing in our daily living environment for various purposes. Since the data obtained by observing the real world directly with sensors include real-world information different from the Web, a new worldwide social information infrastructure, the Sensing Web. The panel presentations will discuss the issues that need to be solved toward its realization.
