The Canadian Database of Geochemical Surveys: Technical documentation for the data model

The WMO Hydrological Observing System (WHOS) is a service-oriented System of Systems (SoS) linking hydrological data providers and users by enabling harmonized and real time discovery and access functionalities at global, regional, national and local scale. WHOS is being realized through a coordinated and collaborative effort amongst:<ul><li>National Hydrological Services (NHS) willing to publish their data to the benefit of a larger audience,</li> <li>Hydrologists, decision makers, app and portal authors willing to gain access to world-wide hydrological data,</li> <li>ESSI-Lab of CNR-IIA responsible for the WHOS broker component: a software framework in charge of enabling interoperability amongst the distributed heterogeneous systems belonging to data providers (e.g. data publishing services) and data consumers (e.g. web portals, libraries and apps),</li> <li>WMO Commission of Hydrology (CHy) providing guidance to WMO Member countries in operational hydrology, including capacity building, NHSs engagement and coordination of WHOS implementation.</li> </ul>In the last years two additional WMO regional programmes have been targeted to benefit from WHOS, operating as successful applications for others to follow:<ul><li>Plata river basin,</li> <li>Arctic-HYCOS.</li> </ul>Each programme operates with a &#8220;view&#8221; of the whole WHOS, a virtual subset composed only by the data sources that are relevant to its context.WHOS-Plata is currently brokering data sources from the following countries:<ul><li>Argentina (hydrological & meteorological data),</li> <li>Bolivia (meteorological data; hydrological data expected in the near future),</li> <li>Brazil (hydrological & meteorological data),</li> <li>Paraguay (meteorological data; hydrological data in process),</li> <li>Uruguay (hydrological & meteorological data).</li> </ul>WHOS-Arctic is currently brokering data sources from the following countries:<ul><li>Canada (historical and real time data),</li> <li>Denmark (historical data),</li> <li>Finland (historical and real time data),</li> <li>Iceland (historical and real time data),</li> <li>Norway (historical and real time data),</li> <li>Russian (historical and real time data),</li> <li>United States (historical and real time data).</li> </ul>Each data source publishes its data online according to specific hydrological service protocols and/or APIs (e.g. CUAHSI HydroServer, USGS Water Services, FTP, SOAP, REST API, OData, WAF, OGC SOS, &#8230;). Each service protocol and API in turn implies support for a specific metadata and data model (e.g. WaterML, CSV, XML , JSON, USGS RDB, ZRXP, Observations & Measurements, &#8230;).WHOS broker implements mediation and harmonization of all these heterogeneous standards, in order to seamlessly support discovery and access of all the available data to a growing set of data consumer systems (applications and libraries) without any implementation effort for them:<ul><li>52North Helgoland (through SOS v.2.0.0),</li> <li>CUAHSI HydroDesktop (through CUAHSI WaterOneFlow),</li> <li>National Water Institute of Argentina (INA) node.js WaterML client (through CUAHSI WaterOneFlow),</li> <li>DAB JS API (through DAB REST API),</li> <li>USGS GWIS JS API plotting library (through RDB service),</li> <li>R scripts (through R WaterML library),</li> <li>C# applications (through CUAHSI WaterOneFlow),</li> <li>UCAR jOAI (through OAI-PMH/WIGOS metadata).</li> </ul>In particular, the support of WIGOS metadata standard provides a set of observational metadata elements for the effective interpretation of observational data internationally.In addition to metadata and data model heterogeneity, WHOS needs to tackle also semantics heterogeneity. WHOS broker makes use of a hydrology ontology (made available as a SPARQL endpoint) to augment WHOS discovery capabilities (e.g. to obtain translation of a hydrology search parameter in multiple languages).Technical documentation to exercise WHOS broker is already online available, while the official public launch with a dedicated WMO WHOS web portal is expected shortly.

Access To Data

Reproducibility and re-usability of research requires giving access to data and numerical code but, equally importantly, helping others to understand how inputs, models and outputs are linked together. Jupyter Notebooks is a programming environment that dramatically facilitates this task, by enabling to create stronger and more transparent links between data, model and results. Within a single document where all data, code, comments and results are brought together, Jupyter Notebooks provide an interactive computing environment in which users can read, run or modify the code, and visualise the resulting outputs. In this presentation, we will explain the philosophy that we have applied for the development of interactive Jupyter Notebooks for two Python toolboxes, iRONS (a package of functions for reservoir modelling and optimisation) and SAFE (a package of functions for global sensitivity analysis). The purposes of the Jupyter Notebooks are two: some Notebooks target current users by demonstrating the key functionalities of the toolbox (&#8216;how&#8217; to use it), effectively replacing the technical documentation of the software; other Notebooks target potential users by demonstrating the general value of the methodologies implemented in the toolbox (&#8216;why&#8217; use it). In all cases, the Notebooks integrate the following features: 1) the code is written in a math-like style to make it readable to a wide variety of users, 2) they integrate interactive results visualization to facilitate the conversation between the data, the model and the user, even when the user does not have the time or expertise to read the code, 3) they can be run on the cloud by using online computational environments, such as Binder, so that they are accessible by a web browser without requiring the installation of Python. We will discuss the feedback received from users and our preliminary results of measuring the effectiveness of the Notebooks in transferring knowledge of the different modelling tasks.

Laws Of Distribution

Analytical and computer models of false failure and undetected failure (error functions) were developed with tolerance control of the parameters of the components of the measuring technique. A geometric interpretation of the error functions as two-dimensional surfaces is given, which depend on the tolerance on the controlled parameter and the measurement error. The developed models are applicable both to theoretical laws of distribution, and to arbitrary laws of distribution of the measured quantity and measurement error. The results can be used in the development of metrological support of measuring equipment, the verification of measuring instruments, the metrological examination of technical documentation and the certification of measurement methods.

Historical place databases can be an invaluable tool for capturing the rich meaning of past places. However, this richness presents obstacles to success: the daunting need to simultaneously represent complex information such as temporal change, uncertainty, relationships, and thorough sourcing has been an obstacle to historical GIS in the past. The Qualified Assertion Model developed in this paper can represent a variety of historical complexities using a single, simple, flexible data model based on a) documenting assertions of the past world rather than claiming to know the exact truth, and b) qualifying the scope, provenance, quality, and syntactics of those assertions. This model was successfully implemented in a production-strength historical gazetteer of religious congregations, demonstrating its effectiveness and some challenges.
