Abstract
Sensordata (IoT) is widespread in both private and public sector. However, making use of sensordata across different sectors and applications is challenging - in particular with respect to a geospatial application across different use cases. This encompasses both enviroment/climate sensors, like water-level sensors to smart-building monitoring and water pipe sensors. An interdisciplinary team from diverse sectors is working towards building national standards, an open architecture and implementing proof-of-concepts on a national sensorhub for sharing streams and archives of sensordata in Norway. The team builds upon the very successful open data ecosystems (SDI) that exists in Norway for standardized geospatial data. The project is funded from a range of partners including municipalities, the mapping authority and the maritime ports of Norway. The working group includes open source tech expertise on sensor technology alongside user and demand expertise from the different sectors. This talk will focus on the technological advances made from the team both on software and architecture. There will be particular focus on the open architecture and software prototyping that has been developed in the working group. Both of which will be available under an open license.

Thank you. I'm Alexander Nossum. I work for a GIS IT company in Norway and I'm here to tell you about the proof of concept project that we have done this last year with the collaboration between a lot from the government section, the public administration section. And the title of the project was From
Sensor to Society. And the main question that we sort of tried ourselves on is how can the society in general leverage sensor data from multiple sensor providers and
solutions. Which is a huge question so I'm not going to solve that now. But we're inspired by the way we in Norway share a lot of geo data, GIS data. We have a fair amount of success standardizing across the public private
sector and also the public public sector. Which is forming an ecosystem of data sharing with GIS data. We use a lot of open standards in Norway so we build upon those open standards like VFS and using rest APIs and similar. But
we have done this in other domains not sort of geo geo domains but also in port data and more sea like data. Which works successfully when there's a high geospatial component for the data. But with sensor data the sort of
the I know that there's exists of standards and everything but but the real situation at least in Norway for sensor data is that it's a lot of unstandardized data. There's obviously unpredictable volumes of data and predictable frequencies from sensors. And also a lot of different protocols
used and a lot of different proprietary protocols not some de facto proprietary as well. And that makes the public sector in particularly very worried and scared to use or purchase sensor technology in general. So a lot of
smaller municipalities, smaller cities in Norway don't have the capacity to sort of get vendor locked in with a certain kind of sensor provider. And that is also the case for the sensor vendors and not that they want to be
proprietary but they don't have really a good alternative to be open. So they are also in search of so more open ecosystem of sharing sensor data. So that led us to sort of define a high-level architecture which is sort of all-inclusive. But we focused a lot on the API sides of it. The
input and the output of making a sort of a sensor hub. And we have been using a lot of open standards so some proof of concept this and test it in in proof of concept on real data in Azure. But the main idea is to
generate or to make open standards for data sharing with the sensor vendors. We were lucky to have a lot of collaborators, a lot of sensor providers, everything from building sensors to ocean water level
sensors to flood level sensors and water and sewage systems in Norway. So we had a lot of real data to work with, a lot of different data and we were lucky to have our hypothesis concluded that
there are a lot of different protocols, a lot of different standards, a lot of data hassling even though they should be standardized. And that led us to this is in Norwegian but you can bear with me. This led us to a demo which is really successful for public administration because showing
them a high-level architecture is so mind-blowing for them. So we made this 3D demo which shows the climate of the using colors on the different buildings with live sensor data comparing that with the water level and the temperature level.
Everything from very different sensor vendors. So it shows the usefulness of having a successful data change. And that's all. What we are doing further now is to investigate further on the OTC standards if that could be something to extend into this project. We're hoping that we get more
funding from the public sector to work with this and to standardize between the public sector so they can get the de-facto standard at least in the public sector in Norway for this. I'm really, really interested in experience from others, hopefully internationally because I
think this problem is not Norwegian specific. So other input from this is really appreciated. So just reach out. That's my email. Yeah. Thanks.
