Abstract
Mechanisms are provided for synchronizing a sensor network with an organization ontology hierarchy. The ontology data structure comprises a plurality of nodes specifying concepts associated with operations of the organization, and edges connection nodes that represent relationships between the connected nodes. The sensor network comprises elements representing sensors deployed to an infrastructure of the organization. Natural language processing is performed on textual data associated with nodes of the ontology data structure and elements of the sensor network. Sensors of the sensor network are mapped to corresponding nodes in the ontology data structure based on results of the natural language processing. At least one of the sensor network or the ontology data structure are modified to align and synchronize the sensor network with the ontology data structure.
