SensorThings API
Efficient access to sensor data via the OGC SensorThings API
The STA module complements the 52°North Sensor Web Server with support for the “OGC SensorThings API Version 1.1 Part 1: Sensing” specification. It provides support for the following Conformance Classes (tested for standard compliance):
- Sensing Core
- Create-Update-Delete
- Filtering Extension
- Observation Creation via MQTT
- Receiving Updates via MQTT.
Additionally the 52°North STA implementation provides various supplemental features for ease-of-use and added functionality.
Benefits
- Robust implementation making use of the broad 52°North experience with Sensor Web data models
- Easy integration into the 52°North Sensor Web Server (joint database layer)
- MQTT for data publication and delivery
- Interlinking between SOS, STA and Helgoland API (e.g., data publication via STA, data retrieval via SOS and Helgoland API)
Fields of Application
Hydrology, air quality (e-reporting), environmental monitoring, ocean sciences, tracking
