Overall statistics

[nuest]

Create statstics for complete database ("the current state"):

• overall driven kilometers
• number of tracks
• number of contributors
• number of cars
• overall CO2 emission per kilometer
• accumulated CO2 emission

Think about the temporal resolution of the statistics (archive), potentially cached.

Regarding the website presentation, the page should show the statistics starting with the overall statistics of "just now" and two graphs of three graphs that are interesting to observe over time (no user interaction, just preconfigured graphs)

• length of tracks in kilometers
• co2 emission per driven kilometer over time

Other statistics, such as number of cars, users, contributors should be prepared on the server side but not added to the website.

Number of tracks is available through calling https://envirocar.org/api/stable/tracks?limit=1

The HTTP Response Header Link provides links to next and last. The page of the last corresponds to the total number of tracks:

Link: <https://envirocar.org/api/stable/tracks?limit=1&page=384>;rel=last;type=application/json, <https://envirocar.org/api/stable/tracks?limit=1&page=2>;rel=next;type=application/json

Great - I would collect that information in a API though an not use headers. But the code should show how the information can be retrieved server side, which is good.

API sketch (comments welcome @matthesrieke), should probably move this issue to the server.

• /rest/statistics/
  • already exists
  • change into a list of available statistics resource (like https://envirocar.org/api/stable/) and provide the content under rest/statistics/phenomenon/:phenomenonid
• /rest/statistics/project
  • returns the overall statistics listed above, example below
  • should use LOD identifiers if possible, for example http://sweet.jpl.nasa.gov/2.3/reprSciUnits.owl#kilometer .
• /rest/statistics/project?fields={:id}
  • return just the information for one identifier (value, id, description, unit)
• /rest/statistics/project/:year/:month/:week?fields={:id}
  • the same information as above but only for specific months or days
  • examples
  • /rest/statistics/project/
  • /rest/statistics/project/2013/8/23
  • /rest/statistics/project/2013/8?fields={emission:co2,tracklength}

{
   "source":"www.envirocar.org",
   "statistics":[
      {
         "value":12345.6,
         "id":"tracklength",
         "description":"The accumulated number of the kilometers of all tracks on the enviroCar server.",
         "unit":"km"
      }
   ]
}

headers can be part of the API. We currently only support HTTP anyhow. But providing nice JSON is also fine with me.

This is a rough sketch of how we could show some statistics on the landing page. Of course a little fancier ;)

As long as it is clear what the numbers represent: number of active envirCar participants, number of tracks... What do we want to show?
