BASIN-3D data integration framework

Knowledge graph centered on BASIN-3D data integration framework with 68 nodes and 156 connections. Top connected: snowpack persistence, groundwater storage dynamics, leaf water content, evapotranspiration, air temperature.

Method synopsis

A brokering framework that uses OGC standards to integrate heterogeneous environmental datasets from multiple sources into synthesized time-series data accessible through Python and web interfaces.

Synthesized from method descriptions across 2 papers using this protocol.

Procedure as described in the canonical source

Steps below were extracted from the paper that introduces this protocol — Challenges in Building an End-to-End System for Acquisition, Management, and Integration of Diverse Data From Sensor Networks in Watersheds: Lessons From a Mountainous Community Observatory in East River, Colorado (2019), IEEE Access. Implementations in other papers (listed below) may differ.

1. Data integration via BASIN-3D broker
   BASIN-3D software connects to data sources in real-time via web services, provides lists of available data types and locations, retrieves subsets of data requested by user, and transforms data streams into uniform abstracted formats based on Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and ISO standards. Handles multiscale data through OGC/ISO framework allowing specification of hierarchies of spatial features.
   Quantities: Integrates data across multiple external sources including USGS stream monitoring networkDuration: Real-time data retrieval as neededConditions: Web service based integration
   Equipment: BASIN-3D software, OGC/ISO data standards, web services
