The increased interest in sensing the environment in which we live has led to the deployment of thousands of sensors which can measure and report its status. In order to raise the impact that sensor networks can have, improving the usability and accessibility of the measurements they provide is an important step. The problem addressed in this paper is that of enrichment of sensor descriptions and measurements in order to provide richer data, i.e., data containing more meaning. We propose a framework for automatizing the process of semantically enriching sensor descriptions and measurements with the purpose of improving the usability and accessibility of sensor data
