- | As the IoT gets more involved in various domains and types of operations, a countless number of its data sources generate immense volumes of data. All the sources can be roughly divided into three groups: | + | **Passive |

- | //Passive | + | |
They are sensors that do not communicate actively and send the required information to the centralised management system only on demand. For instance, sensors that make atmospheric measurements produce data when API is activated. That does not mean that an application is also passive; on the contrary, the data from passive sensors requires proper management and processing, and it is what an application is purposed for. | They are sensors that do not communicate actively and send the required information to the centralised management system only on demand.
