SensorBay-Integrating and Exposing Sensor Data Through Open Standards
This project will capture data from sensors in, around, and under Placentia Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador, and make this data available on the Internet.
The SensorBay project will enable anyone with a stake in the Placentia Bay region to benefit from the applications and information the sensors offer. For example, if oil spills in the bay, response personnel can use sensor data to assess in real time the spill's potential impacts on local communities and coastlines. Maintained by Compusult Limited and the Canadian Centre for Marine Communications, the SensorBay network will also provide access to real-time data about the Placentia Bay marine environment.
The SensorBay project will deliver new web services to the Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure (CGDI) using standards-based service interfaces and formats.
In part with $150,000 in funding from GeoConnections, Compusult will host SensorBay on a dedicated server on its premises and develop a new SensorWeb module for its Web Enterprise Suite (WES) product. Adding the WES SensorWeb module to its portfolio of commercial products will enable Compusult to provide additional off-the-shelf technology for the CGDI.
