REGISTRY.awi.de aims to create an authoritative repository for

managing platform

managing platform, device and sensor-related information. It was launched in August 2016 and it will be continuously improved in the form

of bi

of bi-annual release packages. It supports:

Autocompletion of station metadata (required under under "Actions") for all large and medium-sized german research vessels (Polarstern, Sonne, Meteor, Alkor, Heincke, Merian and Poseidon) using PANGAEA expedition catalogue
Metadata

versionning

versioning including minting of PIDs for individual versions along with citation. Example: https://hdl.handle.net/10013/sensor.7bdbc478-a4c9-4eb9-917d-9a89ee098774#subItemID=625&subItemEventID=3634
Provenance metadata for repositories as good-scientific pratice. Example: https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.857507 links dataset in PANGAEA to sensor description, under event information https://hdl.handle.net/10013/sensor.664525cf-45b9-4969-bb88-91a1c5e97a5b
Management and discovery of standard sensor-specific information (e.g. manufacturer information, inventory number, history of actions, precision, photos, etc),
Management and discovery of data-specific information (calibration reports, physical characterization of individual sensors, etc),
Management of parameter properties that trigger the automatic quality flagging
Management of specification for automatic data transfer and ingest
Bookkeeping of ownership/affiliation of devices
Machine-friendly access to metadata. Example: OGC compliant output standards,
Sensor properties are used in machine-friendly monitoring of data streams in near real-time (see DASHBOARD)
Re-use in AWI-operated portals and various national and international service infrastructures. Example: https://data.awi.de/?site=platforms
Use on board of RV Polarstern including synchronization of DSHIP action log with sensor actions
