Publishing SRP water sample data

Deployment

Service oriented architecture for sharing water data

The Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI) is an organization representing 120+ universities in the US and 11 international affiliates. As

CUAHSI member universities in the US

CUAHSI HIS develops service-oriented architecture for hydrologic research and education, to enable publication, discovery, retrieval, analysis and integration of hydrologic data. The project team has defined a common information model for organizing hydrologic observation data, designed a common exchange protocol (Water Markup Language), created a collection of SOAP web services (WaterOneFlow services) that provide uniform access to different federal, state and local hydrologic data repositories, and developed mechanisms for ontology-based data registration and discovery.

HIS Central

This system is implemented as a collection of HIS Servers deployed at NSF-supported Hydrologic Observatory test beds across the nation. Several HIS Server are deployed at other partner universities and agencies, and internationally.

CUAHSI HIS supports data publication workflow for hydrologic observations. The steps include:• Loading data into ODM instance and

configuring a Generic ODM web service providing access to the data (typical for relatively small academic projects) OR

Configuring a custom WaterML-compliant web service and assembling a source metadata catalog (typical for large remote repositories)• Registering the new water data

service at a local HIS Server (to be accessible via DASH, Data Access System for Hydrology), AND/OR

Registering the service at the HIS Central, a web application for managing and exploring WaterML-compliant services.

By indexing both government and academic water data services, HISCentral provides a gateway to the largest collection of water observations in the nation.

Once a new water data service is registered, tested and described at HISCentral, an HISCentral’s harvester retrieves site and variable metadata, and the data series information.

Register service

Upload icons, add

metadata

Service is harvested

Tag variables

with ontology concepts

Data is available

in Hydroseek

andin DASH

Adding a water data service to the integrated

metadata catalog

The next step is tagging the harvested variables using CUAHSI ontology concepts, and making the new water data service appear in Hydroseek, a web application for ontology-based and map-based search and retrieval of hydrologic data from multiple networks.

The service may be also shown in DASH: Data Access System for Hydrology

This pilot implementation integrates water sample data collected by SBRP programs at UCSD and UA.
