Abstract

The sensor web concept has arisen for its promise to deliver earth observation data with finer spatial scale and increased temporal resolution in a flexible manner - virtual sensors can be created and sensors can be tasked. Common data and service interfaces for sensors are developed and are in use [2], [8] and [11]. The building blocks for the sensor web are in place, but how do natural scientists make use of this infrastructure in their research, and how can sensor web concepts be made beneficial to them? We discuss a preliminary exploration of the possibilities for using sensor web within scientific workflows aimed at investigating ecological drivers of cholera outbreaks in southern Africa.
