Abstract:
This paper introduces an approach how the Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) framework of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) will be used in order to build a Franco- Lebanese observatory. We present the practical application of SWE services as a source of real-time observation data and the associated technical architecture for making the observations available on the Web to end users near real-time. We discuss the question of crossing sensor data with other data sources, e.g., data provided by human observations. We illustrate our approach with a first use case to monitor the snow weather stations in Lebanese Mountains.
