    The vision of the Semantic Sensor Web promises to unify the real and the
virtual world by integrating sensor technologies and Semantic Web technologies.
Sensors and their data will be formally described and annotated in order to facil-
itate the common integration, discovery and querying of information. Since this
semantic information ultimately needs to be communicated by the sensors them-
selves, one may wonder whether existing techniques for processing, querying and
modeling sensor data are still applicable under this increased load of transmitted
data. In our talk we revisit several techniques for query processing in sensor
networks and discuss how they can be adapted to, and used by, applications in
the Semantic Sensor Web.
