Identity and Functionality in the Common Instrument Middleware Architecture
نویسنده
چکیده
The Common Instrument Middleware Architecture (CIMA) is middleware for integrating scientific instruments, individual sensors or actuators, and sensor networks into computing and storage grids. A key element of the design of CIMA is the representation of the identity and functionality of network accessible instruments and sensors. This paper presents the approach used in CIMA to represent instruments and sensors and how these representations are used by applications to build functional models of CIMA-enabled instruments and sensors. One potential outcome of this work is the development of a “Semantic Web” for instruments, allowing users from all segments of society to find and use instruments, sensors and other real-time data sources that can answer critical questions about the real world.
