Cos4Cloud: Co-designed Citizen Observatories Services for the EOS Cloud
CORDIS – the Community Research and Development Information Service – promotes research results from projects funded by the EU’s framework programs for research and innovation. Cos4Cloud has been named EU “Project of the Month” for improving the collections and management of data in citizen science.
Interview with Henning Bredel
Henning Bredel is part of the Cos4Cloud project team implementing the Agile methodology. He explains the 52°North strategy to implement agile methodology from a coordination level by creating a workflow to ensure all the services developers are connected to the relevant stakeholders and receive and implement their feedback.
Design and Development of Interoperable Cloud Sensor Services to Support Citizen Science Projects
Citizen Observatories are becoming an increasingly popular source of input data in many scientific domains. During the recent EGU2020: Sharing Geoscience Online, Simon Jirka (52°North) presented the ideas behind the European H2020 project Cos4Cloud (Co-designed citizen observatories for the EOS-Cloud). The project aims at providing re-usable services for setting up Citizen Observatories based on the European Open Science (EOS) Cloud. In particular, it will use interoperability standards such as the the Open Geospatial Consortium’s (OGC) Sensor Observation Service (SOS), SensorThings API and Observations and Measurements (O&M).
