Description
SENSOR aims to create an authoritative repository for centrally managing platform, device and sensor-related information at AWI and institutes involved in common large-scale projects. It was launched in August 2016 as a prototype (using FRAM Infrastructure as case study) and it will be continuously improved in the form of bi-annual release packages.It supports:
- 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),
- Machine-friendly access to metadata (e.g. OGC compliant standard SensorML),
- Supports the use of sensor properties 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)
- Good-scientific pratice (Example: https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.857507 links dataset in PANGAEA to sensor description, under event information)
- Book keeping against AWI internal accounting system
