The SWIMA project (‘Sensor Web for Infrastructure Management’) is using live field trials in the River Tamar catchment to demonstrate how the use of the Open Geospatial Consortium’s (OGC) international ‘Sensor Web Enablement’ (SWE) standards can improve environmental monitoring capabilities. Supported by the Technology Strategy Board, the two-year £900,000 project involves a QinetiQ-led consortium which includes: 1Spatial Group Limited, the Environment Agency of England and Wales; South West Water; YSI Hydrodata Limited and the University of Nottingham’s Centre for Geospatial Science (CGS). SWIMA comprises a number of different components but 1Spatial is specifically responsible for the design and development of a number of ‘SWE Nodes’, based on their ‘OGC-compliant Sensor Control & Access Resource’ (OSCAR) software.
