SENSOR.awi.de 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 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),
- 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
