The Internet of Things

• Sensors everywhere:car, phones, industries,...
• Data published by public administrations, social organizations or companies
• Services to task and access sensors SOS
• Data uploaded by common people (crowd-data)

How does GeoNetwork fit here?

• Data is (almost) always temporal-spatial
• Metadata is (super) important
• A metadata catalog is needed for this

So, what is Cobweb?

• Collect data from very different sources
• Conflation of data
• Make this data available to groups of interest
• Make people involved in science
• Create a reusable platform to collect, conflate and distribute data

So, what is Cobweb?

Is GeoNetwork enough for this?

• Connect to Authoring Tool
• Wizards to create surveys (metadata)
• System to join a survey (group), invite, reject,...
• GeoXACML? Complex constraints
• Better integration with WxS (operatesOn)
• Sell data through the portal?
• Support for SOS. Quality? ISO19157
• Suggest data interesting to the user (complex profile)
• More "social" (+complex workflows)
• Store individual observations or collections?
