Sensor Registration Sample Clauses
Sensor Registration. A key requirement for sensor data networks to start adding their sensor data into the CITI‐SENSE SEDS Platform is that they register themselves first with the SEDS Platform. This allows users of the CITI‐ SENSE SEDS Platform to find (discover) which sensors and sensor networks are available in the CITI‐ SENSE SEDS Platform and which capabilities they offer. Sensor and sensor network providers must provide all the necessary information required for discovery. To register a sensor, a "Sensor Registration Service" is provided by the CITI‐SENSE SEDS Platform. This service provides a single entry point to formally register individual sensors, sensor networks or services. The data that is provided will form the Metadata for that sensor, sensor network or service and will be stored in the CITI‐SENSE Platform centralised data repository. The OGC SensorML standard has been identified for describing the sensors themselves. SensorML provides standard models and an XML encoding for describing sensors and measurement processes. SensorML can be used to describe a wide range of sensors, including both dynamic and stationary platforms and both in‐situ and remote sensors.
Sensor Registration. The Sensor Registration Service implements the ISO/OGC standard SensorML. SensorML is an approved Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standard and provides standard models and an XML encoding for describing sensors and measurement processes. The Sensor Registration Service can be accessed via a Web Feature Service (WFS) web service end‐ point. The WFS service allows data providers to post an XML dataset which contains the sensor registration information. WFS is an approved OGC web interface standard and provides an interface allowing requests for geographical features across the web using platform‐independent calls. The decision for choosing an open standard from the geography domain (OGC) is because of the importance of the geographic location of a sensor. The WFS standard is optimised for processing geospatial data and is therefore the ideal candidate for this. The Sensor Registration Service will be available as web service on the CITI‐SENSE SEDS Platform on the Amazon cloud.
