An important element for this popularization is the large use of off-the-shelf sensors. Most of those sensors will be deployed by different owners, generally common users, creating what we call the Collaborative IoT. This collaborative IoT helps to increase considerably the amount and availability of collected data for different purposes, creating new interesting opportunities, but also several challenges. For example, it is very challenging to search for and select a desired sensor or a group of sensors when there is no description about the provided sensed data or when it is imprecise. Given that, in this work we characterize the properties of the sensed data in the Internet of Things, mainly the sensed data contributed by several sources, including sensors from common users. We conclude that, in order to safely use data available in the IoT, we need a filtering process to increase the data reliability. In this direction, we propose a new simple and powerful approach that helps to select reliable sensors. We tested our method for different types of sensed data, and the results reveal the effectiveness in the correct selection of sensor data.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s150306607","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,3,19]],"date-time":"2015-03-19T14:38:57Z","timestamp":1426775937000},"page":"6607-6632","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Sensing in the Collaborative Internet of Things"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Borges Neto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte 31270-901, Brazil"},{"name":"Department of Computing and Technology, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Caic\u00f3 59300-000, Brazil"}]},{"given":"Thiago","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte 31270-901, Brazil"}]},{"given":"Renato","family":"Assun\u00e7\u00e3o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte 31270-901, Brazil"}]},{"given":"Raquel","family":"Mini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, Pontif\u00edcia Universidade Cat\u00f3lica de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte 30535-901, Brazil"}]},{"given":"Antonio","family":"Loureiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte 31270-901, Brazil"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,3,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"94","DOI":"10.1038\/scientificamerican0991-94","article-title":"The Computer for the 21st Century","volume":"265","author":"Weiser","year":"1991","journal-title":"Sci.
