External links SensorWare Systems - The company spun out of NASA to commercialize the sensor web technology. Sensor Web Alliance – An organization that is developing a collaborative research platform called the Sensor Web Alliance (SWA). The aim is to pool resources in the SWA, coordinate research and allow participating organisations to share IP, which will spread risk and lower the cost of entry. SenseWeb Project – A Microsoft Research project that lets users visualize and query real-time data using a geographical interface such as Windows Live Local and allows data owners to easily publish their live data using a web service interface. GeoSensor Web Lab, University of Calgary – A university research lab that is developing a GIS infrastructure for the Sensor Web and its applications. Several sensor web applications have been developed and deployed for environmental and agricultural applications. Project information, publications, and demo videos can be found on this site. 52°North – An open partnership organization that interoperable web services and data encoding models, which constitute the technical building blocks of Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs). SWSL at the Institute for Geoinformatics (IFGI) of the University of Muenster – The Sensor web, Web-based geoprocessing, and Simulation Lab (SWSL) is a university lab working on the building blocks of the geosensor web to make all different kinds of sensors discoverable, accessible and taskable in an interoperable way. OGC SWE – Since 2002, the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) has had a focused Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) activity. From the OGC perspective, a sensor web refers to web accessible sensor networks and archived sensor data that can be discovered and accessed using standard protocols and application program interfaces (APIs). Open SensorWeb Architecture Project – The project focuses on the development of service-oriented middleware for SensorWeb that integrates sensor networks and distributed computing environments such as computational grids. Sensorweb Research Laboratory – A research lab at Georgia State University, developing sensor web systems and applying them to scientific and social applications, such as environment monitoring, smart environments, and smart grid applications. SEPS Project – The Self-adaptive Earth Predictive System (SEPS) concept combines Earth System Models
