List of public end-points

hylkevds commented 2 years ago

Hi All,

In a recent discussion the question came up if we could make a list of public end-points. This would be very useful for giving demos and trying out the SensorThings API.

How would we organise such a list? Some relevant aspects:

One big table / multiple tables
Country / region information
Domain information
Publisher
URL
Writeable by all (sandbox services)
Supported version(s)
Used implementation

What do you all think? Here are some quick examples to help the discussion (Markdown in issues doesn't support tables):

Sandbox Services

Germany

United Kingdom

Great idea, I'd do it by domain (as opposed to by country/region) as it may reasure new comers their domain is covered. And as, most of the time, you define a 'pattern' to match ST API to your domain terms/practices. I tested this approach in Franch and it proved really helpful (see here : https://github.com/INSIDE-information-systems/SensorThingsAPI).

+1 on the rest of the item

I'd add a date info related to each implementation (available YYYYMMDD) to anticipate the fact that, over time, some endpoints may not be available anymore (ex : R&D projects)

Just to keep track, I have several in this viewer https://sta-client.internetofwater.dev

@ksonda , great ! : you can add this one in your viewer -> French Surface Water Quality bank (snapshot from end of 2018) : https://sensorthings-wq.brgm-rec.fr/FROST-Server/v1.0 . That may be of interest for the internet of water activities.

Per domain sounds good. Which domains would we want?

@ksonda: is there a way to see which endpoints are being used on that site? Since the endpoints are not accessed directly by the browser, but by your server.

Sandbox Services

Owner	access	version	Endpoint URL
Fraunhofer IOSB	CRUD	1.1	https://ogc-demo.k8s.ilt-dmz.iosb.fraunhofer.de/v1.1/
SensorUp	CRUD	1.0	http://scratchpad.sensorup.com/OGCSensorThings/v1.0

Smart Cities

County	Owner	Domain	Info	Endpoint URL
Germany	Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg, Landesbetrieb Geoinformation und Vermessung	Smart Cities	info	https://iot.hamburg.de/v1.1/

Water

County	Owner	Domain	Info	Endpoint URL
UK	British Geological Survey	Ground water	info	https://sensors.bgs.ac.uk/FROST-Server/v1.1
France	BRGM	Surface water quality	info	https://sensorthings-wq.brgm-rec.fr/FROST-Server/v1.0

They're here, but if you want to add a table in markdown document I can PR into it with the metadata you put above.
