Sensor Web Definition A Sensor Web is a coordinated observation infrastructure composed of a distributed collection of resources (e.g. sensors, platforms, models, communications infrastructure) that can collectively behave as a single, autonomous, task-able, dynamically adaptive and reconfigurable observing system that provides raw and processed data, along with associated metadata, via a set of standards-based service-oriented interfaces.

Levels of Interoperability Specificity Flexibility Observation & Measurements I know that an observation was made using this process on a phenomenon, with a result Observation & Measurements + a vocabulary agreement I understand the phenomenon you measured WaterML2.0 sans vocabulary agreement I know that an observation was made at a measuring station, using a sensor, and a time series was produced WaterML2.0 + partial vocabulary agreement I know that an observation was made using a measuring station, a sensor, and a time series is produced WaterML2.0 + full vocabulary agreement I can understand the observations and import into my system directly, allowing full mapping to internal representation E2E Spatial Infrastructures Workshop 6 December 2010
Provenance Definition Provenance of a resource is a record that describes entities and processes involved in producing and delivering or otherwise influencing that resource. Provenance provides a critical foundation for assessing authenticity, enabling trust, and allowing reproducibility. Provenance assertions are a form of contextual metadata and can themselves become important records with their own provenance. E2E Spatial Infrastructures Workshop 6 December 2010

Conclusions • Need well-documented use cases at appropriate level of granularity i.e. use design by contract methodology • Architectural design should: • Promote re-use/re-purposing of data and infrastructure • Facilitate knowledge management • Enable discovery and exploration of web-based resource • SWE standards are a moving target and complexity is an issue • Provenance enables/promotes data re-use/re-purposing • Linked open data approaches require serious consideration E2E Spatial Infrastructures Workshop 6 December 2010
