Sensor Descriptor

The Node Description File requires that for each sensor a URL is specified that resolves to a page defining the capabilities of that sensor (e.g. a DHT-22 temperature and humidity sensor, TMP35 digital thermometer). The capabilities of the device reading the sensor (e.g. the analogIn() function of the Arduino UNO) are not considered here, but are considered in the process array.
