About

Sensorpedia is a program initiated by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to utilize Web 2.0 social networking principles to organize and provide access to online sensor network data and related data sets.

Sensorpedia is based on the same underlying social networking and collaboration principles used by popular web sites such as Wikipedia, Squidoo, Google Maps, and Facebook.

Instead of networking users based on mutual personal interests, Sensorpedia networks users based on mutual information interests. It provides near-real-time collaboration among communities with requirements to share sensor information.

An open API and flexible access controls ensure Sensorpedia will work for everyone, regardless of application requirements.
