COP2: Internet-enabled measurement
This COP aims to bring together and exchange expertise in the area of internet-enabled measurement among the members and partners of MetroNet.
The expected results are among others:
- good practice for implementation of internet-enabled measurement software
- specification for an application programming interface (API)
- inventory of the applicability of internet-enabled measurement
The following are the agreed tasks and some suggested sub-tasks. Task 1: Good practice for implementation of internet-enabled measurement software This task aims to develop a guideline or best (general) approach for setting-up and implementing internet enabled measurement software. Subtask 1.1: Sharing and reviewing existing guidance material Subtask 1.2: Security issues, including security policies, authentication, access control, data integrity, confidentiality and firewall issues Subtask 1.3: Electronic calibration certificates Subtask 1.4: Calibration history data curation, including capture, storage, access and data mining Subtask 1.5: Good practice for design and development of the control software, both at the client end and at the server end Subtask 1.6: Software for online (web-based) services, such as software testing services, simulation and virtual testing services, expert system services, and measurement data processing services
Task 2: Specification for an application programming interface (API) to be used in Internet-enabled measurement Given the fact that new instruments appear with non-IEEE488 and non-RS232 interfaces, there is a need for a commonly agreed specification for an application programming interface (API) to be used in Internet-enabled measurement. This task aims to define this specification. Subtask 2.1: Identification and classification of interfaces used in existing and emerging instruments Subtask 2.2: Clarification of requirements for a commonly agreed API Subtask 2.3: Specification of the commonly agreed API Subtask 2.4: Guidance on use of the commonly agreed API
Task 3: Applicability of Internet-enabled measurement Following the success in the initial applications of internet-enabled measurement, other application areas of this technology need to be clarified. In addition there is a need to share information on real applications Subtask 3.1: Sharing and reviewing existing information on applicability of internet-enabled measurement Subtask 3.2: Clarification of new application areas of internet-enabled measurements Subtask 3.3: Sharing of information on real applications and lessons learned. Indicate in the comment form the present area of application
