Sensor Metadata Interoperability

This MMI project is a work in progress, intended to pull together the relevant information to maximize progress toward sensor metadata interoperability. Links will be added to this page as material is developed.

Concepts we hope to address include:

• sensor-related vocabularies
• an upper ontology for sensors and other marine devices
• sensor content standards (comparisons, best practices, examples)
• sensor registries
• strategies for maximizing sensor interoperability
• ongoing activities intended to achieve sensor metadata interoperability

As a baseline, the project will start with the reports from the Sensor Metadata Interoperability workshop, and the Alliance for Coastal Technologies Advancing Sensor Interoperability workshop, publishing a combined list of ideas and implementers. Through widespread publication of this information, we hope to facilitate communication and common development paths.

Many sensor technology and interoperability issues are also considered at the Alliance for Coastal Technologies web site.
