Systems and methods for semantically-informed querying of time series data stores

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions which when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform a method of querying time series data using a semantically-informed search, the method comprising:

• receiving from a client computer a data request for time series data records stored in a time series database;
• parsing the data request by accessing an ontology database to determine a set of values pertinent to the received request;
• applying the determined set of values to a model representing a semantic relationship applicable to the time series data;
• assembling a query compatible to a format implemented in the time series database;
• querying the time series database with the assembled query;
• merging the determined set of values with a response to the assembled query;
• and
• returning the results of the merging step to the client computer.

A system for querying time series data using a semantically-informed search, the system comprising:

• a server in communication with a client computer across an electronic communication network;
• the system including an ontology database and a time series database, the time series database containing time series data records obtained from sensor devices monitoring a monitored device;
• the server including a control processor, the control processor configured to execute operating instructions that cause the processor to:
• receive from a client computer a data request for time series data records stored in a time series database;
• parse the data request by accessing an ontology database to determine a set of values pertinent to the received request;
• apply the determined set of values to a model representing a semantic relationship applicable to the time series data;
• assemble a query compatible to a format implemented in the time series database;
• query the time series database with the assembled query;
• merge the determined set of values with a response to the assembled query;
• and
• returning the results of the merge to the client computer
