Making Sensor Data Available Using Web Feeds

The setup of and processing within sensor networks often requires sophisticated and specialized system designs and implementations, but the service provided by them should be as accessible and repurposable as possible. If the increasing number of available sensor-based data sources can be accessed in a simple and universal way, the network effect of aggregating, filtering, and republishing data...

BioBrowsing: Making the Most of the Data Available in Entrez

One of the most popular ways to access public biological data is using portals, like Entrez (NCBI) which allows users to navigate through the data of 34 major biological sources following cross-references. In this process, data entries are inspected one after the other and crossreferences to additional data available in other sources may be followed. This navigational process may be time-consum...

Making the Web of Data Available Via Web Feature Services

Interoperability is the main challenge on the way to efficiently find and access spatial data on the web. Significant contributions regarding interoperability have been made by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), where web service standards to publish and download spatial data have been established. The OGCs GeoSPARQL specification targets spatial data on the Web as Linked Open Data (LOD) by ...

Making Software Cost Data Available for Meta-Analysis

In this paper we consider the increasing need for metaanalysis within empirical software engineering. However, we also note that a necessary precondition to such forms of analysis is to have both the results in an appropriate format and sufficient contextural information to avoid misleading inferences. We consider the implications in the field of software project effort estimation and show that...
