The idea of the '''SensorDataLab''' is to provide an infrastructure for e-science applications. In particular, the goal is to provide an infrastructure to
* provide access to sensor data 
** publish the data within a community and thus share the data
** provide basic querying and visualization functionality of the measurements
* provide data processing support
** the simplest data processing is a query which transforms data 
** other forms of data processing are based on models calculated e.g. in MatLab
** all processing steps form a tree of processing steps 
* manage and publish meta data of the sensor network in a collaborative way
** geographical position of the sensors in the building or the landscape
** information about updates on the sensors or maintenance operations 
** information about observations around the sensors
** recalibration of sensors
* provide spatial, temporal and organizational views on the meta data
** spatial views covers the representation of sensors and sensor data in a map
** temporal views are representing information in a calendar or a timeline
** organizational views represent dependencies between different information 

We evaluate the ideas and the current development in a localization scenario, where the goal is to determine the position of a person in a building as good as possible. More information about this scenario is [[Loc:Home|available]].
This effort is in collaboration with the [http://www.swiss-experiment.ch Swiss Experiment]. We are recently looking for other interested projects in using our infrastructure for further evaluation.
