SENSOR

Description

SENSOR aims to create an authoritative repository for managing platform, device and sensor-related information.  It was launched  in August 2016 and it will be continuously improved in the form of bi-annual release packages.It supports:

• Metadata versionning 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 
• Good-scientific pratice. Example:  https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.857507 links dataset in PANGAEA to sensor description, under event information
• 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
