  1. SOS Insights(We’ve come a long way…) Katharina Schleidt Katharina.Schleidt@umweltbundesamt.at

  2. Overview • Background • Requirements for O&M data access • Conclusions

  3. Background • INSPIRE Prototyping: • INSPIRE-EMF (2008-2009) • CAFE-SEIS (2009-2010) • INSPIRE Data Specification • INSPIRE TWG EF (2010-2013) • D2.9 INSPIRE O&M Guidelines(2011-2013) • EEA Data Specification • AQD e-Reporting (2010-Present) • Research Projects • ALTER-Net FP6 NoE (2004-2008) • Sany FP6 IP (2006-2010) • ENVIROFI FP7 CP (2011-2013)

  4. Background - INSPIRE Prototyping • INSPIRE-EMF (2008-2009) • Prototyping the INSPIRE Environmental Monitoring Facilities Theme for Air, Waste, Water & Biodiversity with focus on e-Reporting • Identified strength of O&M Standard for provision of e-Reporting data • As only for e-Reporting pilot, query functionality not relevant, possible to serve via WSF with predefined queries • CAFE-SEIS (2009-2010) • Prototyping for e-Reporting under 2008/50/EC & INSPIRE • Work done jointly with Sany FP6 IP working on SOS • Identified strength of SOS for provision of both real-time sensor data as well as processed and/or archived (also did on-the-fly processing)

  5. Background - INSPIRE Data Specification • INSPIRE TWG EF (2010-2013) • Worked on definition INSPIRE Data Specification for Environmental Monitoring Facilities • Possible to provide harmonised data model across environmental themes • SOS provision always assumed for sane data query • D2.9 INSPIRE O&M Guidelines (2011-2013) • Coordinated the X-TWG providing Guidelines on the use of O&M and SOS across INSPIRE Themes • Measurement data is a strong component of several INSPIRE Themes • Clear committment to use of SOS from all TWGs participating

  6. Background - EEA Data Specification • AQD e-Reporting (2010-Present) • 2008/50/EC requires provision of data via INSPIRE • INSPIRE EF & AM Data Models have been extended for AQD e-Reporting purposes • Data provided to EEA (ReportNet) in INSPIRE compliant format since start of 2014 • Includes up-to-date air quality data (hourly measurements from the last hour) • Data publicly available, no access restrictions. Thus, even more valuable if made openly available

  7. Background - Research Projects • ALTER-Net FP6 NoE (2004-2008) • Defined semantic data framework for Europe‘s Long Term Ecological Research Network • Essence of environmental data is What, Where, How • Sany FP6 IP (2006-2010) • Worked on first prototypes of OGC Sensor Network Standards • Much work on SOS • ENVIROFI FP7 CP (2011-2013) • Bringing the Environment to the Future Internet • Provision of environmental data to public via mobile devices – showed advantages of re-using data in other contexts (was reusing Sany Air Quality feeds) • Crowd-sourcing for access to additional environmental information

  8. Requirements for Measurement Access • Core of observational / measurement data: • What • Where • How • Needed for all interactions with data: • Discovery/Identification • Query/Access • Interpretation/Processing

  9. Requirements Beyond WFS • If we use WFS: • Capabilities only show that observations and methodological information are available (no What, Where & How) • Observations can only be provided in temporal blocks (no temporal query) • Methodological information only available after accessing Observations • Difficulties dealing with live data • If we use SOS: • Capabilities response detailing measurement data available (so including What, Where & How) • Spatial, temporal & thematic queries (again, What, Where & How) • Clearly structured access to both live and archived data • Methodological information on how data was assayed (more explicit How)

  10. Conclusions • INSPIRE requires the provision of observational and measurement data across various themes • Observational and measurement data difficult to access via WFS, straightforward via SOS • Simple access to live and archived data opens possibilities for re-use •  SOS ideal extension to INSPIRE
