TWC-SWQP: A Semantic Portal for Next Generation Environmental Monitoring
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a semantic technology-based approach to emerging environmental information systems. We used our linked data approach in the Tetherless World Constellation Semantic Water Quality Portal (TWC-SWQP). Our integration scheme uses a core domain ontology and integrates water data from different authoritative sources along with multiple regulation ontologies to enable pollution detection and monitoring. An OWL-based reasoning scheme identifies pollution events relative to user chosen regulations. Our approach also captures and leverages provenance to improve transparency. In addition, semantic water quality portal features provenance-based facet generation, query answering and data validation over the integrated data via SPARQL. We introduce the approach and the water portal, and highlight some of its potential impacts for the future of environmental monitoring systems.

We present a semantic technology-based approach to emerging monitoring systems based on our linked data approach in the Tetherless World Constellation Semantic Ecology and Environment Portal (SemantEco). Our integration scheme uses an upper level monitoring ontology and mid-level monitoring-relevant domain ontologies. The initial domain ontologies focus on water and air quality. We then integra...

متن کاملUsing FreeBSD to Render Realtime Localized Audio and Video
One of the largest selling points for The Weather Channel (TWC) is the ability to generate localized content for its subscribers, specifically local weather forecasts. To facilitate this localized content, TWC deploys smart devices in cable head ends. These smart devices are called STARs (Satellite Transmitter Addressable Receivers) and are responsible both for collecting weather data and displ...
