            (3)     The Adaptation FE sends the request message to the Resource management FE.
            (4)     The  Resource  management  FE  issues  the  URI  of  the  USN  resource  and  requests  the
                    Semantic USN repository FE to store the URI and metadata of the USN resource.
            (5)     The Resource management FE returns the result of the registration to the Adaptation FE.

            (6)     The Adaptation FE returns the result to the USN middleware.

            I.2     Sensed data/semantic data access from Semantic USN repository FE
            Figure I.2 shows the information flows describing how to access sensed data/semantic data stored in
            the Semantic USN repository FE.

            (1)     The  sensed  data  via  the  USN  middleware  from  USN  resources  are  periodically  or
                    continuously  stored  in  the  Semantic  USN  repository  FE.  The  Semantic  inference  FE
                    converts sensed data into semantic data periodically or on-demand.

            (2)     The  Application  requests  the  sensed  data/semantic  data  from  the  open  USN  service
                    platform through the Application support FE.

            (3)     The Application support FE sends a request message to the Semantic query FE.
