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.
