🚧OGC SensorThings API (WIP)

Introduction to OGC SensorThings API

The OGC SensorThings API is a standard specification aiming to simplify and standardize the integration and communication of Internet of Things (IoT) sensor data. It enables seamless interoperability between different systems, devices, and applications by providing a unified way to access and share sensor data over the internet. This API is particularly useful for real-time data exchange and monitoring tasks in diverse and distributed sensor networks.

Example: Environmental Monitoring Application

Imagine an environmental monitoring application that collects data from various sensors deployed in a city. This application can utilize the OGC SensorThings API to access real-time data from sensors measuring air quality, temperature, humidity, and noise levels. By making API requests, the application:

• Retrieves current air quality indexes from different areas within the city.

• Gathers temperature and humidity readings to monitor weather conditions.

• Accesses noise level data to identify and address noise pollution hotspots.

This API enables the application to provide citizens and city officials with up-to-date environmental information, supporting better decision-making and urban planning.
