A Lightweight Approach for the Sensor Observation Service to Share Environmental Data across Europe

The importance of near real‐time access to environmental data has increased steadily over the last few years. In this article, the focus is on the European Environment Agency (EEA), which receives environmental data from a large number of providers. The heterogeneous data formats and data transfer mechanisms make the data collection and integration a difficult task for the EEA. An approach is needed for facilitating the interoperable exchange of environmental data on a large scale. A core element of this approach is the Sensor WebEnablement (SWE) technology of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) which allows the standardized, interoperable, vendor and domain independent exchange of sensor data. The main contribution of this article is a lightweight profile for the OGC Sensor Observation Service that ensures the necessary interoperability for seamlessly integrating the environmental data provided by the EEA's member states and thus forms the foundation for the developed data exchange mechanisms. This is complemented by information about the resulting Sensor Web architecture and the integration into the EEA's existing IT infrastructure. In summary, this article describes a practical scenario in which SWE technology enables the exchange of near real‐time environmental data on a large scale.

gvSOS: A New Client for the OGC® Sensor Observation Service Interface Standard

A key problem with sensor networks is achieving interoperability between different networks potentially built using different software and hardware platforms. Services interfaced by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) specifications allow GIS clients to access geospatial data without knowing the details about how these data are gathered or stored. Currently, OGC is working on a set of interoperable interfaces and metadata encodings known as Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) that enables the integration of heterogeneous sensor systems and measurements into geospatial information infrastructures. In this article we present the implementation of gvSOS, a new module for gvSIG to connect to Sensor Observation Services (SOS). The gvSOS client module allows gvSIG users to interact with SOS servers, displaying the information gathered by sensors as a layer composed by features. We present the software engineering development process followed to build the module. For each step of the process we specify the main obstacles found during the development such as restrictions of the gvSIG architecture, inaccuracies in the OGC specifications, and a set of common problems found in current SOS server implementations available on the Internet. For most of the problems found we propose a solution, or at least we present a path that might lead to it.     

基于开源方式的多源网络地名数据库整合

目前我国地名数据库的建设主要靠传统测绘手段完成,存在周期长、成本高、效率低的缺点。随着地理数据服务的发展,出现了一些在格式、尺度、范围、内容、现势性等方面具有差异性的免费地名数据库。本文提出了一种整合多开源网络地名数据库形成统一格式、多尺度、内容完备、现势性强的矢量地名库的方法。首先通过OGR和数据访问API构建不同文件格式的网络地名库的矢量格式转换模型,然后对多网络地名库进行矢量转换,最后对其进行数据预处理、数据处理、数据分类映射等处理过程建立矢量地名数据库。本文以香港地区的Geonames,GNS,OSM地名数据库整合为例,验证了方法的可行性。

The Open Geospatial Consortium Sensor Web PivotViewer: an innovative tool for worldwide sensor web resource discovery

In recent years, large-scale sensor arrays and the vast data-sets they produce worldwide are being utilized, shared, and published by a rising number of researchers on an ever-increasing frequency. An increasing number of sensor web services are deployed to host and share the large volume of sensor data online. How to efficiently discover the sensor web resources and visualize different types of sensor data in a coherent environment becomes an important research question that is still not fully resolved. In this paper, we propose the Sensor Web PivotViewer system. By integrating the Geospatial Cyberinfrastructure for Environmental Sensing (GeoCENS) cyber infrastructure, the Microsoft PivotViewer, and the Microsoft BingMaps, the proposed system fills in the missing software components for users to easily and intuitively discover and utilize the worldwide sensor web resources.     

Towards an Open Source Analysis Toolbox for Street Network Comparison: Indicators,Tools and Results of a Comparison of OSM and the Official Austrian Reference Graph

This article presents a novel open source toolbox for street network comparison based on the Sextante geoprocessing framework for the open source Geographic Information System Quantum GIS (QGIS). In the spirit of open science, the toolbox enables researchers worldwide to assess the quality of street networks such as OpenStreetMap (OSM) by calculating key performance indicators commonly used in street network comparison studies. Additionally, we suggest two new performance indicators for turn restriction and one‐way street comparisons specifically aimed at testing street network quality for routing. We demonstrate the use of this toolbox by comparing OSM and the official Austrian reference graph “Graph Integration Platform” (GIP) in the greater Vienna region.
