4. 4 GbR mbH © http://www.scadaonweb.com Our objective  To put SCADA data on the web  So that SCADA data can be handled by cheap software  Low cost applications for which dedicated SCADA systems are not affordable  The opportunity  A semantically precise SCADA object  Open source software to access it defined by the project written by the project   Validated by project demonstrators

5. 5 GbR mbH © http://www.scadaonweb.com Requirements for the technology  SCADA systems are different because they handle large amounts of data - gigabytes  The data is structured into arrays of different dimensions  for each time point there is a 1D array of 1000 measurements  10000 time points gives a 2D array (10000  1000)  Efficiency requires  maintenance of the array structures - no ‘confetti’ data  numbers held as binary format  Use over the web requires  XML for the semantics of the data  ontologies for the measurement process - e.g. sampling rates  ontologies for physical properties, physical quantities and units  ontologies for measurement quality
