The document proposes a "Plug and Work" system to automatically manage and integrate physical sensor data from multiple vendors stored in a standardized format. The system would address current issues where proprietary software requires manual integration of data across different sensors. It would use XML schemas and templates to describe sensor data formats, convert raw data files to XML, and allow new sensors to easily integrate by adding their template without modifying the system. The templates and an enrichment processor would convert different raw data files to a common XML format that can then be queried together.

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

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. System Architecture Raw Data files XML Data files

6. Enrichment Processor Output data : all have the same format and can be integrated. New sensor : just create a dedicated template file and plug it. Enrichment processor TEMPLATE (XML) Raw Data XML File

7. TEMPLATES Raw Data File Template

8. TEMPLATES Other Raw Data File
