Data Discovery and Inventory
Identify Data to be published
As a first step, one must clearly identify the datasets to be published as LDES.
- Establish the origin of the data
- Establish the parameters for storing and using the data
Discovery
This process usually depends on the type of data being exposed. In order to publish a dataset in the form of LDES, the data must be semantically described using one or more data models.
The value of publishing data sets through LDES lies in the easy interlinking of data between companies and organizations over the Web. Selecting the correct model to describe the data, as well as reusing the same model to describe the same kind of data is one of the means to facilitate client consumers.
An example of a domain-specific model describing sensors, measurements, and observations is OSLO.
