Citizen Sensing A new EO source for GEOSS IS

EU FP7 COOPEUS Data policies, interoperability and quality

+Citizen Sensing

Citizen Sensing

• Participatory Sensing

• Users of smart phones and networked devices are able to engage with similar modes in environmental observation and data collection.

+A Source of Massive Unstructured Data Drivers:

Important Growth in Sensing-capable Smartphones &Portable Devices Low energy WSNs Explosion of social networking usage

Relation between type of sensors and citizens involvement Remote Sensing: citizen not involved Social Sensing: citizen communicates without intention (i.e. in a pervasive

way)

Implications Mobile Devices and Apps: efficiency in terms of resource usage and sensor

integration Network Infrastructure: handling this massive amount of data Information System: handling this massive amount of data in the Cloud,

Web, … Vertical aspects: Privacy, Trust, Security, heterogeneity (data), …

COOPEUS aims to catalyze international collaboration among environmental research infrastructures by:

• By easing data accessibility through harmonization of data policies

• By promoting interoperability of Research Infrastructures on all levels (System, syntactic, structural and sematic interoperability)

• By improving data and information quality by defining the minimum requirements on work-flow descriptions
