Summary • Describe Sensors and Sensor Capabilities • Discover Sensors • Request Sensor Data • Access Sensor Data • Task Sensors • Subscribe to Sensor Data • Receive Alerts from Sensors
What is Required? • Sensor-related vocabularies • Sensor types • Observed properties • Sensor-related ontologies? • Classes of Sensors • Sub-types, relationships, …
What is Required? • Sensor-related standards • Content standards (model, encoding) • Services • Transports
Sensor Web Related Tasks • CL-06-02 (Key Climate Data from Satellite Systems) • CL-07-01 (Seamless Weather and Climate Prediction System) • DA-07-04 (Sensor Web Enablement for In-Situ Observing Network Facilitation) • DA-07-05 (Higher Level Data Product Tools) • DI-06-04 (Tsunami Early Warning System of Systems)
Sensor Web Related Tasks • DI-06-13 (Implementation of a Wildland Fire Warning System at Global Level) • WE-06-02 (Space-based Global Observing System for Weather) • CEOS WGISS Committee on Earth Observation Satellites, Working Group on Information Systems and Services)
GEOSS Sensor Web Workshop • Organized by task DA-07-04 • May 15-16, 2008 • @GEO Secretariat, Geneva, Switzerland • No fees, but registration required • Invitation and agenda online: http://www.earthobservations.org/meetings
Discussion I • the vast majority of sensor data is unstructured, poorly described, difficult to be accessed. BUT: no metadata/structure will be provided for this data • how to consume and use sensors that have no standardized way of access/transport/etc. (unstructured world)? • current GEOSS Architecture focuses on structured data, well defined service interfaces etc. and blocks out most sensor data
Discussion II • sensor data is often produced on the fly, other GEOSS data is mostly archived • educate sensor developers/providers • encourage users to use standards for data data transport/encoding/description • make a start and show how it works: Provide some basic IOC, including things like unique identifier, URN-resolver, dictionaries, vocabularies etc. .Step away from simple end-to-end showcases. IOC has to support aspects like traceability
Discussion III • talk to sensor manufactures (?) – better convince various communities that then talk to manufactures (chicken/egg problem) • coordinate with other tasks, in particular DA07-04 (Sensor Web for in-situ sensors)
