Introduction
Sensor networks are an important means for capturing real time information about a nearly unlimited number of environmental phenomena. Properties observed by sensor networks range from weather data, hydrological information like water level measurements or air quality data to positioning information of objects or persons. In order to make use of such a big range of very heterogeneously structured information the integration into application systems becomes very important. As spatial data infrastructures (SDI) are well established for building distributed applications in the geospatial domain, it is of special importance to link them with sensors and sensor data. This is the goal of the OGC Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) architecture, which provides an interoperable framework of standards for
- accessing and encoding sensor data
- describing sensor metadata
- alerting based on measured sensor data
- controlling sensors
Within this workshop the Sensor Web Enablement Architecture will be presented, their benefits will be highlighted and practical applications will be demonstrated.
Aims of the Workshop
The main goal of this course is to offer a comprehensive introduction into the topic of SWE. This includes a theoretical presentation of the concepts as well as practical demonstrations in order to illustrate how SWE components can be deployed and used. At the end of the workshop the participants shall possess knowledge about
- the SWE architecture
- the components of the SWE architecture and their functionalities
- applications of SWE including practical examples
- available SWE implementations
- how SWE components can be practically deployed and used
Intended Audience
This workshop addresses everyone who is interested in the OGC SWE framework. This includes:
- experts in the domain of spatial data infrastructures who want to learn about solutions for integrating sensors and sensor data into SDIs
- end users who are working with sensor data
- data providers, especially those who are offering sensor data
- developers of SDI components
