SOPAF – A platform for the integration of heterogeneous information resources based on the SOS (OGC) standards

     A distance of thousands of kilometers between the research facility and the object of interest is quite an ordinary situation by performing geophysical, geological and meteorological experiments and studies. In addition, living conditions during on-site observations are often not suitable to work there for a longer period of time. Considering the significant amount of information occurring by a monitoring of geophysical objects on the one hand and heterogeneity of sources / sensors on the other one, there is a challenge to provide an IT-platform capable to integrate large information flows from heterogeneous sources.
      The report presents the system SOPAF (System Observation and Archiving Facility), that was established in GFZ Potsdam (http://gfz-potsdam.de/) for the project CAWa (Water in Central Asia) (http://www.cawa-project.net/).
      The aim of the project is the development of scientific and technical basis for the monitoring and management of water resources in Central Asia. The CAWa project is funded by the German Federal Foreign Office as part of the “Berlin process”.
      SOPAF implementation is based on the standards of OGC Sensor Web Enablement (SWE). The basic is "Sensor Observation Service" (SOS). The JAVA EE technology (Enterprise JavaBeans, servlets, JSF, web service, JMS, JavaFX, XML) is selected to provide a core for the realization of the standards.
      Heterogeneous sources of information for SOPAF are meteorological, hydrological and seismic stations installed on the territory of Central Asia.
      The technical and software system design, data model, system information flows and access interfaces are discussed in the presentation. Suggestions to expand and improve SOPAF based on the experience are offered.
