Data and information architecture for a marine sensor network system

Abstract

This paper discusses the architecture of a novel marine sensor network system which handles static, pseudo-static and other types of sensors. The architecture is also capable of handling historical datasets and other related models. The architecture includes a decision support system along with tools to support data integration, exploitation and overall management of the marine ecology. An important feature of this architecture is the use of a federated asset registry, which ensures all data, metadata and information can be stored and exported in a standardized manner.
