Training Session on data interoperability: FROST open source server solution for interoperable dynamic data
On Friday 21st of July 2023, the second training session on data interoperabilty for sensors was held by the Deda Next team, titled "SensorThings API standard and FROST open source server solution for interoperable dynamic data".
The agenda included:
- Welcome and wrap-up of the first session
- Introduction to FROST open source project (by Dr. Hylke van der Schaaf, Fraunhofer Institute)
- Deployment of FROST in Tomcat (real example in Ferrara, Italy)
- Deployment of FROST in Docker (how-to example)
- Apache NiFi for ingesting data in FROST (real example in Ferrara, Italy)
- Proposal for common semantics of IAQ data and buildings’ properties
- Feedback about semantics and discussion with
- sensors’ providers (LAS, THINNECT, WINGS)
- EDIAQI Data Platform developer (KNOW-CENTRE)
FROST (FRaunhofer Opensource SensorThings-Server) is the first complete, open-source official reference implementation of the OGC SensorThings API.
Against the background of the requirements from numerous applications in the mega trend topic "Internet of Things", the Fraunhofer IOSB decided to develop a server for the OGC SensorThings API standard. The objective was to achieve high performance with low resource consumption and an openness that facilitates usability both in the research environment and in commercial applications (source).
Meanwhile, the OGC SensorThings API is recommended by the European Commission as "Good Practice" for the deployment of measurement data according to the INSPIRE guidelines: “OGC SensorThings API as an INSPIRE download service”
