Concept and Objectives
• Turn environmental and sensor data (including Underwater IoT streams) into knowledge – provide support for data discovery, integration, fusion,
presentation to communities and commercial teams
– use explicit semantics and discoverable linked data
– align with OGC Standards, tools, and Array DBs supports data fusion and visualisation

• Portal to query, resample, aggregate and
process data o Import/Export binary files (e.g. GTIFF)o Metadata management and semantic
reconciliation (e.g. NASA SWEET)o Map layer dissemination (e.g. OGC WMS) o Fusion of experimental data from AUVs
with third party data sets
• Linked Data interface for access to data
on the webo Discoverability and semantic querying of
the metadata assetso Available in RDF/XML and Turtle
• Integration with SUNRISE GATE for UAV
data collection

Semantic Reconciliation 1/2
• netCDF is a self describing data format for Earth observations (physical quantities)• provides a data model to describe what’s inside• sets of array data
• File’s are only a small piece of information in a wider context• same for every OGC WCS compliant server
• Need to reconstruct the link between the single dataset and the wider context• management of metadata is key in exploiting data assets
(retrieval, sharing, reconiliation)

• NetCDF organises the data storage– small but well defined vocabulary to define metadata– function based interpretation of datasets
• Attributes, dimensions, and variables are strings– makes it difficult to reconcile such representation with external
data sets– limited support for federation of data providers– limited support for semantic interoperability

Semantic Reconciliation 2/2• We adopted the netCDF data model
• Metadata encoding into RDF and disseminated as Linked Data
• Alignment towards a comprehensive domain ontology• NASA SWEET (earth and environmental terminology)
• Exploitation of ontology alignments to support data discovery and retrieval

Linked Data Dissemination• Rationale
– existing standards (OGC WCS) allow data interoperability but do not promote discoverability or semantic interoperability
• Once semantically aligned the meta data can be made part of a bigger data ecosystem• i.e. Linked Data cloud
• Necessary for a broad range of marine and environment applications

Application Trial• Trial at Porto harbour explored a new data value
chain for the marine industry– routine evaluation of the current state of the seabed– surveyors with UAVs collect seabed bathymetry, water current velocities,
and spectral data for water turbidity
• Data ingested into EXPOSURES– create coherent, rasterized plane of environmental values (such as
seabed height or water temperature) – highly clustered data points sparsely distributed over AOI– interpolation and clipping functions applied to deal with missing and
extraneous data points
• Multiple surveys in areas of interest ingested and fused to produce for a more complete view
• Discovery and visualisation of aggregated data accessible via Linked Data
– visualizations of accretion/deletion of the seabed sediment profile– Geospatial temporal data queries
• Fusion functions prepare data sets for simulation– predict ecological processes, impacts and what if analysis– reduce data preparation time

Summary
• EXPOSURES is a service platform supporting semantic alignment, geo-spatial fusion and linked-data access to underwater IoT data
• Cost and complexity of developing marine applications is reduced– harmonization of temporal and spatial resolution (resampling and interpolation), array based
data composition– data reconciliation of environmental properties– map layer visualization
• OGC and W3C linked data interfaces allow knowledge of marine environments to be curated, published and shared by communities and commercial teams
• Future work aims to extend the services to support a wider range of geo-spatial fusion capabilities
– automating semantic annotations of simulation input data within analytical workflows– exploring commercial business models for marine information services
