Abstract:
Catalogue services play an important role for the discovery of resources. Conventional catalogues usually contain meta-information about available data and service resources. A typical user query to a conventional catalogue could include "give me all services supporting standard interface x" or "give me all datasets in a specific region, where the responsible party is y".
The SANY/SensorSA catalogue developed by IITB contains additional meta-information that allows sensor-specific queries such as: "give me all 'temperature' observations in Austria of May 2009" or "give me all entries supporting a specific sensor type".
Notes:
SANY/SensorSA catalogue is an extension of the catalogue developed by Fraunhofer IITB withing the scope of the ORCHESTRA IP. In addition to allowing the sensor-specific searches, and automatically harvesting the meta-information from SOSs, this catalogue uses the semantic data annotation to simplify the task of information/resources discovery .
