Abstract:
The rapid development of sensing technologies had led to the creation of large volumes of environmental observation data. Data quality control information informs users how it was gathered, processed, examined. Sensor Web is a web-centric framework that involves observations from various providers. It is essential to capture quality control information within the framework to ensure that observation data are of known and documented quality. In this paper, we present a quality control framework covering different environmental observation data, and show how it is implemented in the TERENO data infrastructure. The infrastructure is modeled after the OGC’s Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) standards.
