IEEE eScience: Sensor Metadata Management and Its Application in Collaborative Environmental Research Sensor Metadata Management and Its Application in Collaborative Environmental Research
Speaker Sebastian Michel

SwissEx – Swiss Experiment
www.swiss-experiment.ch
provision of web based tech, wireless. etc to for the use of environmental science

experimental areas overlap – so it would be good for researchers to share data
sensormap and gsn access
uses semantic media wiki (really?)

sensor data > {static data, etadata, manual measurements, streaming data}> {wiki, semantic wikis, GSN}>{sensor map, gsn interface}
gsn? (maybe: http://gsn.sourceforge.net/)

data
sensor provided data, static experiment metadata, static sensor metadata, dynamic sensor information (available, broken), dynamic data quality info

semantic media wiki lets you enter rdf triples, but the format is too much work (particularly on a hard day up the mountain wrestling the instrument into place)
they use forms – html table – more user friendly

(q: wonder if they tried the halo plugin?)

(q: wonder if they could automate information about the equipment)

SensorMap from Microsoft Research – put the sensor on virtual earth and can get the data by clicking

question from audience – use relational database?
use OGC with built in (?)

my question – about halo – no he didn’t try it.  ¶ 2:45 PM| |cites (technorati) |
