A Citizen Science Sensor Platform as a Live Link from GIS to the Internet of Things

March 1, 2016

In the past years, communities of amateur enthusiasts have created more and more technical solutions for environmental monitoring, environmental control and data acquisition. A plethora of solutions already exists based on open hardware and software platforms (e.g., Arduino1 or Wiring2 ) as well as he recent advances in the mobile devices market. The members of such communities who systematically collect data to foster additional knowledge on a certain subject or region can be called citizen scientists [9]. They use open hardware systems and smartphones as the basis for building sensor platforms to observe and measure their environment. Data generated by such sensor platforms is often pushed to Sensor Web portals [4], such as cosm3 or Thingspeak4 , which offer functions for storing, sharing,  visualizing, as well as discovering sensor data. Those Sensor Web platforms, which expose sensors as Web-accessible resources, form a part of the Internet of Things.
