“…To better understand the entity of these changes in a real case study we have analyzed the transactional operations that have been executed on the hydro-met monitoring system in the Canton Ticino, Southern Switzerland, described in detail in Pozzoni et al [34]. The monitored data are managed within a SOS compliant service based on the istSOS software [35]. The datasets, at the time of writing, include observations ranging from the 1978 to the 2023 and related to 298 sensors observing different properties related to rivers (e.g.…”

Modern research applies the Open Science approach that fosters the production and sharing of Open Data according to the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles. In the geospatial context this is generally achieved through the setup of OGC Web services that implements open standards that satisfies the FAIR requirements. Nevertheless, the requirement of Findability is not fully satisfied by those services since there’s no use of persistent identifiers and no guarantee that the same dataset used for a study can be immutably accessed in a later period: a fact that hinders the replicability of research. This is particularly true in recent years where data-driven research and technological advances have boosted frequent updates of datasets. Here, we review needs and practices, supported by some real case examples, on frequent data or metadata updates in geo-datasets of different data types. Additionally we assess the currently available tools that support data versioning for databases, files and log-structured tables. Finally we discuss challenges and opportunities to enable geospatial web services that are fully FAIR: a fact that would provide, due to the massive use and increasing availability of geospatial data, a great push toward open science compliance with ultimately impacts on the science transparency and credibility.

“…Due to the extra effort of Web Interfaces to parse and handle XMLs some SOS software like istSOS (Cannata et al, 2019) and 52North-SOS implementations started to develop their own JSON based API. To cope with this problem, in 2015 the OGC developed the SensorThings API (STA) version 1.0 (OGC, 2021b), which is not actually part of the OGC API but share most of the approaches, which are based on the use of RESTful services and JSON format.…”

Abstract. Interoperability standards from the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) shape a backbone within the OSGeo community by defining a pathway to software implementation toward the standardization of geospatial information and related services ensuring interoperability between FOSS4G software. In 2016, the OGC has initiated the creation of a new generation of standards based on the OpenAPI specifications to facilitate the integration of geospatial data in modern web applications and systems. From a practical perspective this paper intends to address the question how organizations and institutions anticipate to leverage this new generation of standards in order to deploy a geospatial data infrastructure. This issue is at the core of this article and at the center of a project that seeks to address the issue by running a Testbed Platform with a special focus to the Swiss context. To challenge these standards, the Testbed platform is configured to run a showcase with experimental cases about climate change. It is expected to bring good visibility toward all actors concerned by the Swiss standardization process and to raise interest from government stakeholders, technical or not, companies and universities as a community in synergy when considering the advances at the OGC.

Abstract. The continuous expansion of invasive Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, combined to its ability to transmit arboviruses (e.g. dengue, chikungunya) is raising major public health concern in Europe. In Switzerland, the mosquito is firmly established in most urban areas of the Canton of Ticino, south of the Alps, and there is a real risk that it will colonize also urban areas north of the Alps in the next years. The spatial distribution and colonization of new areas by Ae. albopictus depends on several environmental parameters, such as winter and summer temperatures, and precipitation patterns. A key factor for Ae. albopictus to establish at higher latitudes is the capability to develop cold-tolerant overwintering diapausing eggs under specific environmental conditions. Weather-driven abundance models are used to map the areas of potential distribution and to predict temporal dynamics of Ae. albopictus and the transmission potential of arboviruses. This contribution presents the designed system that integrates low-cost and on-line IoT sensors to monitor temperature, humidity and light with istSOS an OGC Sensor Observation Service server implementation with a user friendly interface and rich feature collection to easily manage this sensor network and distribute data in a standard way (www.istsos.org).
