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

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 (100001000)

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

HDF5 (Hierarchical Data Format - version 5)

Standard for the exchange of structured binary datasets developed by NCSA used for NASA and ESA for satellite telemetry used for oil exploration data

Exchange of binary data between computers access library availably on many different types callable from C, Fortran, and Java

Range of tools for data addition and extraction; display and editing interface to and from XML

But the HDF5 tools do not know about the meaning of the data

Fundamentals of the technology

Formal approach to engineering data based upon ISO 15926 a design is a Class

Physical property, quantity and scale a physical quantity is a member of a physical quantity space a physical quantity space is the domain of a scale

Product, activity and state 4D world view

Measurement quality quality is a measurement of the measurement system

Distribution a distribution is a Property

Descriptions of a distribution described by a numerical table stored as HDF5

Physical quantity as a class

The class called “10 Kg” has instants in the lives of material objects as members.

An instant in the life of a material object is a member if and only if it has 10 times the same inertial mass as the reference lump of platinum in Paris.

<ProductAtInstant ID=“MyWidgetat20031021T10:30”> <type resource=“MassOf10kg”/></ProductAtInstant>

But usually it is more complicated:
