What is data ingestion in SAP (LOD-IOT - Internet of Things)?

SAP Term: data ingestion

• Component: LOD-IOT

• Component Name: Internet of Things

• Description: The process of importing big amounts of data at high speed. Speaking of data ingestion rather than data import is common practice in Big Data scenarios, for example in typical use cases of the IoT. Here, high volumes of data often unstructured provided by sensors are flowing into the system and typically have to be processed immediately by an analytical or visualization engine. To handle the high amount of inflowing data, preprocessing units may be involved that convert the raw data into aggregates on the fly.

• Key Concepts: 
  Data ingestion is the process of collecting data from various sources and loading it into a data repository. In the context of SAP's LOD-IOT Internet of Things (IoT) component, data ingestion refers to the process of collecting data from IoT devices and loading it into a data repository. This data can then be used for further analysis and decision-making. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Data ingestion can be done manually or automatically. Manual data ingestion involves manually entering the data into the repository, while automatic data ingestion involves using software to collect and load the data into the repository. In the context of SAP's LOD-IOT IoT component, automatic data ingestion is used to collect and load data from IoT devices into a repository. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using automatic data ingestion, it is important to ensure that the software is configured correctly in order to ensure that all relevant data is collected and loaded into the repository. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the software is regularly updated in order to ensure that any new features or changes are taken into account. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Data ingestion is an important part of any IoT system, as it allows for the collection and analysis of large amounts of data from various sources. Additionally, it can be used to create insights and make decisions based on this data.
