Sensor Observation Service Semantic Mediation: Generic Wrappers for In-Situ and Remote Devices
In-situ and remote sensors produce data that fit di erent data modeling paradigms, namely, Entity/Relationship paradigm for the former and Multidimensional Array paradigm for the latter. Besides, different standardized data access services are used in practice. Therefore their integrated access is still a major challenge. This paper describes a solution for the development of generic semantic data access wrappers for observation datasets generated by in-situ and remote sensing devices. Those wrappers are key components of data mediation architectures designed for the semantic integrated publishing of observation data.
