STAplus Trusted Sensor Application Terms of Use

Purpose of the Application

This application was developed as part of the EU CitiObs project to support collaborative Citizen Science.

As a proof of concept, this application ensures user authenticity by enforcing a user login when starting the application. Uploading sensor readings to an access control enabled OGC STAplus compliant endpoint ensures lineage from the sensor reading to the original uploading user. This is one important aspect to establish trust in Citizen Science data.
