The O2A components INGEST and DASHBOARD (and its Data Web Service) use a common data format to exchange time-series data: The NRT (Near Real Time) Data Format.
It uses the SENSOR's parameter codes (URNs, Uniform Resource Names), e.g. vessel:mya_ii:dgps:lat to describe the data columns in the files.
The data is stored in a simple tabular plain-text format which is describe below.
If a sensor cannot provide data NRT Data Format but a binary or plain-text format instead, a driver (converter) will have to be programmed to convert the data to the either to a intermediate NRT RAW Data format or to this NRT Data Format.
A number of drivers is already available (see subchapter Drivers).

The following O2A components are involved in / use NRT Data Format.
