SOS Server Deployment for Sharing Environmental Sensor Data Through the OTALEX-C Spatial Data Infrastructure

Abstract

OTALEX Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) project is funded by the INTERREG III European Programme and its main objective is to study and show the reality of the territory composed by the regions Alentejo in Portugal and Extremadura region in Spain. The current project phase is called OTALEX C and it is focused on showing the results of environmental studies through the OTALEX SDI. For that goal, it is necessary to catalogue, standardize, geoprocess and publish data from environmental sensors, as well as publish thematic contour and continuous maps derived from the interpolation of these sensors data. The first part of the project was the development of the processes to load a heterogeneous group of data from different types of sensors into a central repository using open source and self-developed Extract Transform and Load tools (ETL).
