D1.3: SemsorGrid4Env Architecture (v1 31/08/2009, v2 31/12/2010) Download PDF v2
This document specifies, designs, and validates the SemSorGrid4Env software architecture. The architecture enables the publication and querying of both stored (e.g. database) and streaming (e.g. sensor) data to support the rapid development of applications for environmental monitoring. Significant benefits are provided by the use of semantic technology for service discovery and data integration. The infrastructural backbone of the architecture is provided by four service oriented services: Stored Data Service for the publication of databases, Streaming Data Service for the publication of sensor data, Registration and Discovery Service to enable resources to found, and Integration and Querying Service to enable multiple data sources to be accessed through a single model. These services will be supplemented with application domain speci c services which may offer RESTful interfaces. The functionality of the architecture is validated by considering the use cases of the two exemplar applications in the SemSorGrid4Env project.

D2.1: Data Requirements, Data Management and Analysis Issues and Query-Based Functionalities (31/08/2009) Download PDF
This document is focused on the requirements for WP2 from other workpackages. This includes the ability to access stored and streaming data, the ability to evaluate queries over acquisitional and event streams, and the capability to perform data analysis techniques (e.g., outlier detection, for data cleaning, or to identify an event of interest such as a forest  re). In light of these requirements, existing techniques and software, such as the SNEE query optimiser for sensor networks and the D3 outlier detection algorithm are proposed as the basis for the WP2 contributions, and a functional decomposition of the tasks to be undertaken is presented.

D2.2: Implementation and deployment of Data Management and Analysis, and the Query Processing components (v1 31/12/2009, v2 28/02/2011) Download PDF v2
Streams of data generated by sensor networks can be queried in one of two ways. The  first involves sensors periodically take readings and streaming these out of the network for out-of-network evaluation by a stream processing engine. The second involves placing query processing capabilities into the network for in-network evaluation. The SNEEql query language is capable of querying streams generated by both kinds of sensor networks, as well as relational stored data sources, although previously only the in-network query evaluator had been implemented. The prototype developed for this deliverable provides an out-of-network SNEE query evaluation engine for SNEEql queries based on the SNEE in-network query compilation stack. We present details of the implementation, together with the interfaces by which it will be made available as a Web service.

D4.2: Implementation and deployment of the ontology-based data integration service (v1 31/12/2009, v2 28/02/2011) Download PDF v2
We propose the design, implementation and deployment of a Semantic Integration Service for streaming and stored data sources. The design of this service follows an ontology-based approach that extends previous works on data access for relational databases. This deliverable focuses on a core component of the semantic Integrator: the Ontology-based streaming data access module. This module, named StreamMapster, extends the ODEMapster engine that provided ontology-based access for databases, and uses the language for Stream-to-ontology mappings S2O. An implementation of the proposed solution is presented, so that we can provide some evidence of the applicability of our approach.

D5.1: Specification of high-level application programming interfaces (28/02/2009) Download PDF
This document defines an Application Tier for the SemsorGrid4Env project. Within the Application Tier we distinguish between Web Applications - which provide a User Interface atop a more traditional Service Oriented Architecture - and Mashups which are driven by a REST API and a Resource Oriented Architecture. A pragmatic boundary is set to enable initial development of Web Applications and Mashups; as the project progresses an evaluation and comparison of the two paradigms may lead to a reassessment of where each can be applied within the project, with the experience gained providing a basis for general guidelines and bestpractice.

D5.2: Implementation and deployment of a library of the high-level application programming interfaces (v1 31/12/2009, v2 28/02/2011) Download PDF v2
The SemSorGrid4Env high-level API phase I prototype provides a platform to enable the development of semantic web applications and mashups that link to and from sensor observations from the Channel Coastal Observatory. The API combines REST and Linked Data principles to support Semantic Web clients, OGC GML clients, and hybrid applications that can transpose between these, and other, representations.

D6.3: Application (30/06/2010) Download PDF
The document describes the selection of datasets for the SemSorGrid4Env for the Fire Risk Monitoring and Warning in Madrid. The document describes the datasets to be employed within the initial case and the structures and attributes within these datasets that are relevant to the use caser and the resource registry. It explores the implication of making these choices for the access to the data and the implications for the ontology. The document also provides a high level review of the ontological requirements based on the proposed higher levels and domain specific ontologies that appear necessary to develop the application. It addresses certain ontology requirements beyond the initial Fire Risk Monitoring and Warning, but highlights the development tasks within the next phase that prioritises those actions needed for the initial case.

This deliverable explores user requirements for the development of spatial data management applications for coastal planning, management and emergency response in the Solent region of Southern UK, particularly in the context of flooding. The applications will draw on real-time, historic and baseline data sets, including a real-time sensor network deployed through the Southern coastal region. Interviews and interactions have been conducted in order to establish user requirements and to provide a context for the development of a functional architecture to be developed by the SemSorGrid4Env consortium.
