BACKGROUND Wearable sensors for capturing physical condition. Objective : Store the data from various sensors, from various vendors, in a standard, easily-queried format.

Wearable sensors for capturing physical condition.

Objective :

Store the data from various sensors, from various vendors, in a standard, easily-queried format.

MOTIVATION Issues : Proprietary software in many cases Data must be manually integrated from various sources by sport scientists. Integration is required in order to query across multiple sensors As new sensors come in, the system needs to be modified easily.

Issues :

Proprietary software in many cases

Data must be manually integrated from various sources by sport scientists.

Integration is required in order to query across multiple sensors

As new sensors come in, the system needs to be modified easily.

BACKGROUND RESEARCH Use of XML for integration of data To describe input data format And to store output data XML schemas Later : Xpath and XQuery for data querying.

Use of XML for integration of data

To describe input data format

And to store output data

XML schemas

Later : Xpath and XQuery for data querying.
