§ OSPER = Open Support Platform for Environmental Research § Main goal: a sustainable support infrastructure for data acquisition, management and visualization § Enables new advances in science through:

§ Sharing of resources § Common access point for experimental data § Documentation and safe (but visible) storage of experimental data § Combination of diverse data sources (experimental, geodata, archive data, documents, additional multimedia information, …)

Handling of Sensor Measurements

§ First option: use a database or SWE

§ (Automatic) sensor measurements import into spatially enabled database (PostgreSQL/PostGIS) § Advantage: use of spatially enabled database/WPS means no additional effort to integrate with GIS § Disadvantage: high implementation effort for loading the sensor data into the database (different types of sensors, hardware dependent, etc…)

Handling of Sensor Measurements

§ Second option: use GSN

§ Advantage: facilitates the deployment and programming of sensor networks § Disadvantage: interoperability with GIS had to be additionally implemented (via GML) and maintained

§ Integrated documentation, management and visualization

  • f sensor data

§ Flexible infrastructure in respect with changing requirements and APIs § User-friendly visual data mining of existing datasets (without the need for a catalog) § Outlook:

§ Increase performance and reliability (for wiki, GSN and GeoVITe) § Improve the public GIS platform prototype
