Attendants

• OGC Members meeting:
  • 122nd OGC Member Meeting 28 February - 4 March 2022: registration is open
    • SensorThings SWG session on 23 Feb at 16:30 CET: Best Practice SensorThings API with Citizen Science (presentation) by Andreas Matheus
    • Citizen Science DWG session on 28 Feb at 21:45 CET: Best Practice for using SensorThings API with Citizen Science (presentation and discussion) by Andreas Matheus, Joan Masó
• Progress report on STAplus implementation
  • OGC Best Practices report submission

• ACTION items for the OGC Best Practices document.
  • CREAF (BP1): Schema mapping and testing Relations using Natusfera observations, DRAFT
  • SECD (BP2): Modelling a Camera Trap, DRAFT
  • Fraunhofer (BP3): Leveraging the STA API batch-processing, DRAFT
  • INRIA (BP4): Modelling Pl@ntNet as a service, DRAFT (to be updated with the latest STAplus data model)
  • CREAF (BP5): Importing Natusfera into STAplus, WIP (to use OGC protocols directly from the web browser by Javascript and Ajax)
  • CREAF (BP6): Visualizing STAplus data in a map, WIP (to create a map from STA with a long query and explain the query itself)
  • 52N (BP7): Modelling community processes (blogging), WIP
  • ALL: STAplus implementations (e.g. INRIA - performance and indexing)
• DISCUSSION:
  • Scope is now described in Figure 1 to differentiate 'STAplus' (the generic extension to STA Data Model) and 'STA4CS' (STAplus with a generic Business Logic applied to Citizen Science)
  • New sections/ appendices of API configurations, performance and conformance tests should be added.
  • Conclusion: Need to emphasize the main concept that readers (service providers) can make most of the generic STAplus in an operable way but it is application-specific. Note that this Business Logic is based on specific use cases in the CS context. In conclusion, there is no one solution that fits all.
  • Access Conditions >>> Security Considerations: UNIX RUD on assets (restricting CREATE/PUT) using HATEOAS Driven REST APIs? CRUD on properties?
    • Declaration: how to declare fine-grained access conditions/rights on a property level? An operator and a client developer may not be the same person.
  • Considerations: CREAF will add a section of when to use Groups versus MultiDatastreams.
  • Future work: XOData/STAplus experiments with the query builder that is integrated into Excel. The result is also directly imported into Excel.
    • INRIA will try loading millions of Pla@ntNet records to evaluate query performances?
    • With certain patent/license options, is open-source application possible in future (instead of Excel)?
    • Fraunhofer demo with XOData : OData Visualizer and Explorer (pragmatiqa.com)
    • New experiments: Tile (FeatureOfInterest) specific data model expressed in OData?
• AOB
  • STA+ data model will remain as it is in the UML diagram. Use cases fit to the STA+ will be presented as BPs.
  • Proposed submission by the end of May towards the 123rd OGC Member Meeting in mid-June 2022
