SOSSI: Semantic integration of observational data using SOS

The amount of data that is generated by public and private organizations is highly heterogeneous both in format and semantic. To permit a uniform retrieval of these data is a relevant challenge. The SWE initiative of the OGC proposes data codification and web services standards. However, semantic integration of these data is an open problem.

Objectives

The project aggregates different actions related with the development and evaluation of a solution for the semantic integration of observational data through a SOS interface of the OGC. This global objective include the following specific objectives:

Design and implementation of a solution for the virtual integration of observational data.
Design and implementation of a semantic mediation layer of observational data.
Design and implementation of adapters for the data sources of Meteogalicia and Intecmar.
Design and implementation of generic adapters for data bases and Thredds servers.
Design and implementation of SOS visualizers.
