Abstract

In-situ and remote sensors produce data that fit different 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.

This article is based upon work from COST Action KEYSTONE IC1302, supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology). It has been partially funded by the Galician Government (Xunta de Galicia) and FEDER funds of the EU under the Consolidation Program of Competitive Research Units (Network ref. R2014/007).
