1. One or more non-transitory computer readable media containing program instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
generating a database of interconnected smart entities, the smart entities comprising object entities representing each of the plurality of physical devices and data entities representing data generated by the plurality of physical devices, the smart entities being interconnected by relational objects indicating relationships between the object entities and the data entities, wherein at least one relational object of the relational objects indicates a type of relationship;
receiving data from a first device of the plurality of physical devices and identifying a first object entity of the object entities representing the first device;
determining a second device of the plurality of physical devices using a first relational object of the relational objects connecting the first object entity representing the first device and a second object entity of the object entities representing the second device;
identifying a data entity of the data entities storing data for the second device using a second relational object of the relational objects connecting the data entity and the second object entity representing the second device; and
modifying the data entity with the data received from the first device.
