“A coordinated observation infrastructure composed of a distributed
collection of resources that can collectively behave as a single, autonomous,
task-able, dynamically adaptive and reconfigurable observing system that
provides raw and processed data, along with associated meta-data, via a set
of standards-based service-oriented interfaces.” (Glenn, 2007)

Data Standards

Conclusion
• Device manufacturers and API providers do not
always support developers well
– Sometimes high costs for certification and license
fees before development may even start
– APIs often tailored for Desktop or iOS/Android.
Web use can be problematic
– Bot- or Malware Blockers can misunderstand
legitimate apps as potential intruders
– Software and data quality with some vendors
– „OAuth Hell“
