Open Sensor Search

Open Sensor Search (OSS) is a platform for discovery of in-situ sensor data. It spans across large scale networks based on heavyweight OGC Sensor Web standards and protocols (SensorObservationService, SensorML, ...) and grassroots platforms and the internet of things (IoT) with a modular and open architecture. Open Sensor Search is based on the SensorInstanceRegistry and can be seen as its next version.


Source Code

https://github.com/52North/OpenSensorSearch

Goals

  • Make sensor data discovery easy for users
    • Not as complicated as CSW
    • Not as simple as Google (though almost)
    • Tailored to time series discovery
    • Tailored to sensor web websites and data models (SensorML)
  • Make sensor data discovery simple yet powerful for developers
  • Integrate well with existing 52°North sensor web software (towards a Sensor Web Suite)
  • Easy to extend harvesting mechanism based on Javascript

Why is it "open"?

  • open source software
  • open standards for the APIs
  • open standards for the data formats
  • open harvesting mechanism - everybody can write harvesting scripts for their own data

Features

Roadmap

Version 1.0 - GSoC 2013
