Communities of practice with an interest in Sensor Web and Sensor Networks

  • Communities using SWE standards/SensorML (sensors)
    • environmental sensing: Ocean Observatories, Earth Observation, MET/Hydro
  • Communities not using SWE or SensorML (sensors and actuators)
    • applications in urban and industrial environments: mobile apps, RFID+Sensors, other WSN for "non-geospatial" apss
    • measurement and scientific workflows (instruments, metrology, control systems):
      • chemical process (OntoCAPE), industrial automation, powers systems
    • "soft" sensors, e.g. humans and sensory info: MINET, MPEG-V

Most of the pointers listed below belongs to the first category, except maybe:

  • SENSEI, HYDRA
  • Semantic reality (DERI), and new work by KNOESIS (e.g. the presentation by Amit at the Dagstuhl Seminar) at the instersection of Sensor Web and Social Web
  • work by the Grid community on instruments (CIMA, OGF)

Not as much work on Semantics by other communities but they have started to identifiy the need for an ontology.

Ontology may mean for them quite a number of different things:

  • common terms glossary/lexicon/thesaurus,
  • controlled vocabulary/taxonomy,
  • common model (UML-ish)
  • common ontologies (OWL) - possibly even a community-managed "foundry"

EU Project Measuring the Impossible http://minet.wordpress.com/

MINET coordinates activities for ‘Measuring the Impossible (MtI)’ i.e. research in areas of interdisciplinary science aimed at supporting the development of new methods and investigative techniques for the measurement of complex phenomena that are dependent on human perception and/or interpretation. This includes, for example, measurements relating to the perceived attributes of products and services, such as quality or desirability, or the quantification of societal parameters such as security and well-being. It is funded under the EU 6th Framework Programme as a NEST Pathfinder project.
