Using sensorml to describe scientific workflows in distributed Web Service environments

Abstract

Scientific Workflows provides a technology that facilitates researchers by allowing them to capture in a machine processable manner the method relating to some research. This increases both provenance and repeatability of the research and allows for increased collaboration through workflow sharing. The Sensor Web is an open complex adaptive system the pervades the internet and provides access to sensor resources. One mechanism for describing sensor resources is through the use of SensorML. It is shown that SensorML can be used as a mechanism for describing Scientific Workflows and thus facilitates completely distributed workflow descriptions on the web. However in order to fully capture the requirements as relating to open and distributed environments some extensions to SensorML will be required.

Modeling Smart Agriculture using SensorML

“…The paper [29] presented the system architecture which is stimulated by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) based on one of its information model. It supported Sensor Model Language (SensorML) of which Process Model is primary for efficiently handling the heterogeneous devices and their information.…”

“…Its technology helps the researchers by letting them to capture in a machine executable manner to the process concerning to some research. SensorML in this, facilitate as a tool by giving some extensions for distributed Scientific Workflows Description on the Web [29].…”
