In this context, open standards and open-source technologies play a central role in enabling data sharing across institutions, disciplines, and national boundaries. This workshop introduces istSOS4, an open-source implementation of the OGC SensorThings API, designed for the management, publication, and analysis of spatio-temporal 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 interoperable sensor data platforms aligned with FAIR data principles. Participants will gain both conceptual and practical knowledge on how to structure sensor metadata, ingest observations, and expose time-series data through standardized web APIs. The workshop starts by framing the challenges of modern sensor networks: increasing data volumes, diverse sensor typologies, the need for near real-time access, and the integration of observations with downstream analytics, dashboards, and decision-support systems. A core focus will be the SensorThings API data model, including key entities such as Things, Locations, Sensors, ObservedProperties, Datastreams, and Observations. Particular attention will be given to modeling complex environmental monitoring setups, including multi- parameter stations, mobile sensors, and long-term monitoring networks. The workshop will demonstrate how istSOS4 extends and operationalizes this model in real-world deployments, supporting versioning, quality control, and efficient time-series handling. Through hands-on sessions, participants will interact directly with an istSOS4 instance to: * Register sensors and monitoring stations, * Ingest observations via RESTful endpoints, * Query time-series data using spatial, temporal, and attribute filters, * Visualize and export observations for further analysis. The workshop will also cover architectural aspects, including database backends, performance considerations for high-frequency data, and integration patterns with visualization tools, data analytics pipelines, and early-warning systems. Real use cases from environmental monitoring projects (e.g., hydrometeorological networks, water quality monitoring, and climate adaptation initiatives) will be used to illustrate best practices and common pitfalls. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a clear understanding of how to design and deploy a SensorThings-based infrastructure using istSOS4, enabling interoperable and standards-compliant access to sensor observations. foss4g-europe-2026-workshops-4935-from-sensors-to-services-building-interoperable-environmental-data-platforms-with-istsos4-and-the-ogc-sensorthings-api Massimiliano CannataDaniele Strigaroalessandro centazzoClaudio Primerano en This workshop provides a practical and technical introduction to istSOS4 as a SensorThings API–based platform for managing environmental sensor data. It is designed as a hands-on session combining short lectures with guided exercises. The workshop is structured into four main parts: 1.

This workshop makes that “first mile” tangible by guiding participants as they build and program their own hardware kit. The kit uses a microcontroller, GNSS module, and environmental sensor of choice. Measurements are transmitted to a provided Dockerized Python (FastAPI) and PostgreSQL backend, where they are exposed as GeoJSON Features. Emphasizing architectural clarity over complexity, the session demonstrates how structured JSON, REST APIs, and relational storage underpin scalable geospatial services, while outlining PostGIS and OGC API as natural extension paths within an open standards ecosystem. foss4g-europe-2026-workshops-4913-from-sensor-to-geojson-building-an-open-source-iot-geo-pipeline Joram van der Vlist en A significant share of spatial datasets originates from measurements collected in the field. Environmental monitoring, groundwater observation, climate sensing, infrastructure management, and many other geospatial domains depend on distributed sensor networks. Yet in many GIS workflows, the “first mile” remains abstracted or hidden. Namely how measurements become structured, georeferenced, and interoperable data This workshop addresses that gap by guiding participants through the complete open-source pipeline from physical sensor to geospatial web resource. For this, we will be using a XIAO ESP32-C3 microcontroller, a GPS/GNSS module, and an environmental sensor of choice. Participants will collect real-world measurements and attach geographic coordinates at the source. These observations will be transmitted over Wi-Fi to a locally hosted backend stack built entirely with Free and Open-Source Software. The provided backend is written in Python (FastAPI) and uses PostgreSQL. It will be provided as a ready-to-use Docker container. Measurements will be stored and exposed as GeoJSON Features, transforming raw sensor data into interoperable geospatial resources ready for integration with web maps and GIS clients. The workshop emphasizes architectural understanding rather than framework complexity. Participants will examine how structured JSON payloads, RESTful APIs, and relational storage form the foundation for scalable geospatial services. While the implementation focuses on PostgreSQL and GeoJSON to keep things simple, the architecture naturally extends toward PostGIS for spatial indexing and advanced spatial operations, and toward OGC API Features for standardized data access. These extensions will be discussed conceptually as evolution paths within an open standards framework. The core learning objective is to make the origins of spatial data tangible: from measurement in the field to structured, accessible geospatial services. false https://talks.osgeo.org/foss4g-europe-2026-workshops/talk/RBAVH9/ https://talks.osgeo.org/foss4g-europe-2026-workshops/talk/RBAVH9/feedback/ info lab 2 Lightning workshop 2026-07-02T09:00:00+00:00 09:00 02:00 The workshop describes processes and tools used by the author and his team to build and consume digital models for urban environments.
