More than data Comment
There’s a trend occuring right now where people are interested in collating sensor data and providing a nice Web 2.0 interface. I can count several projects besides Sensorpedia, including: Sensorbase (CENS), Sensormap (MSR), and Sensor.Networks (Sun). Sensorbase provides a nice interface to construct and query relational tables, while Sensor.Networks provide a nice interface to interact [...]
Programming tools for Sensorpedia Comment
Besides automatically discovering new sensor data, I’m also interested in what to do after we get the data into Sensorpedia. Right now users interact with Sensorpedia via the web mapping tool. Users type in a search term that matches the title, textual description, or user-supplied tags and generates a list of geo-indexed placemarkers. This is [...]
Discovering new sensor data Comment
While David has been working hard on Sensorpedia’s infrastructure, I’ve been thinking about different ways to automate the process of identifying, tagging, and extracting sensor data from the internet. This would be handy for several reasons. 1) we wouldn’t have to spend valuable human time performing a relatively mundane task and 2) having a sensor [...]
Introductions Comment
Hello everybody! I’m new here (three weeks in Knoxville!) and I just wanted to introduce myself to the Sensorpedia community. I just started working at Oak Ridge National Lab in the Data Systems Sciences & Engineering group and will be involved with various Sensorpedia-related projects. Before arriving here, I was doing post-doctoral work at the [...]

The Sneak Peek provides read-only access for non-beta users to search and explore the data currently in Sensorpedia. Contribution of data is currently [...]
