| 1. A method of managing sensor data comprising the steps of:
defining a Sensor Network environment in terms of zones, each said zone being defined by its entrance or exit condition, and
having a distinct and consistent property associated with it, wherein the defined Sensor network environment is based on operational
and business process rules that apply to said Sensor Network environment;
collecting sensor data regarding the state of objects within said Sensor Network environment;
analyzing said collected sensor data in the context of said Sensor Network environment and said zones; and
storing said analyzed sensor data as records in a database, in an application agnostic form, and in terms of said zones.
