BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 PRODID:-//pretalx//talks.osgeo.org//foss4g-europe-2026-workshops BEGIN:VEVENT UID:pretalx-foss4g-europe-2026-workshops-9FMGKJ@talks.osgeo.org DTSTART:20260702T090000Z DTEND:20260702T130000Z DESCRIPTION:Environmental monitoring infrastructures are increasingly requi red to support high-frequency sensor data\, heterogeneous observation type s\, and real-time analytics\, while ensuring interoperability\, scalabilit y\, and long-term sustainability. In this context\, open standards and ope n-source technologies play a central role in enabling data sharing across institutions\, disciplines\, and national boundaries. This workshop introd uces istSOS4\, an open-source implementation of the OGC SensorThings API\, designed for the management\, publication\, and analysis of spatio-tempor al sensor observations. The workshop targets practitioners and researchers involved in environmental monitoring\, smart cities\, hydrology\, climate studies\, and geospatial data infrastructures who wish to design interope rable sensor data platforms aligned with FAIR data principles. \n\nPartici pants will gain both conceptual and practical knowledge on how to structur e sensor metadata\, ingest observations\, and expose time-series data thro ugh standardized web APIs. The workshop starts by framing the challenges o f modern sensor networks: increasing data volumes\, diverse sensor typolog ies\, the need for near real-time access\, and the integration of observat ions with downstream analytics\, dashboards\, and decision-support systems .\n\nA core focus will be the SensorThings API data model\, including key entities such as Things\, Locations\, Sensors\, ObservedProperties\, Datas treams\, and Observations. Particular attention will be given to\nmodeling complex environmental monitoring setups\, including multi- parameter stat ions\, mobile sensors\, and long-term monitoring networks. The workshop wi ll demonstrate how istSOS4 extends and operationalizes\nthis model in real -world deployments\, supporting versioning\, quality control\, and efficie nt time-series handling. Through hands-on sessions\, participants will int eract directly with an istSOS4 instance to:\n* Register sensors and mon itoring stations\,\n* Ingest observations via RESTful endpoints\,\n* Query time-series data using spatial\, temporal\, and attribute filters\, \n * Visualize and export observations for further analysis.\nThe worksho p will also cover architectural aspects\, including database backends\, pe rformance considerations for high-frequency data\, and integration pattern s with visualization tools\, data analytics pipelines\, and early-warning systems. Real use cases from environmental monitoring projects (e.g.\, hyd rometeorological networks\, water quality monitoring\, and climate adaptat ion initiatives) will be used to illustrate best practices and common pitf alls.\nBy the end of the workshop\, participants will have a clear underst anding of how to design and deploy a SensorThings-based infrastructure usi ng istSOS4\, enabling interoperable and standards-compliant access to sens or observations.
