The istSOS project looks for students with data management skills and Python programming understanding that want to develop extensions to support some of the ideas mentioned below.
Today istSOS stores and manages data that are archived in PostgreSQL with PostGIS.
This solution is efficient and suggested. Nevertheless, people with already existing database may wish to continue using their solution (Oracle, MySQL, Google Cloud Store, etc.) and users having fewer requirements in term of service performance or data size may want to use different data source, like CVS files or spreadsheets documents (XLS, Google Calc, etc.).

INSPIRE, the EU directive for European SDI establishment.
One of the way to share environmental data is the usage of the OGC standard SOS version 2.0. In this view, technical documents which specify data representation using O&M (Observation and Measurements) have been proposed, nevertheless other requirements are under evaluation (multilingual support, download service, etc.).
Unfortunately, istSOS currently do not support yet the version 2.0 of the SOS standard, so the idea is to extend istSOS to support the core features of the SOS v.2.0 and comply INSPIRE requirements.

istSOS is able to manage and dispatch observations measured from sensors.
Nevertheless, often data collection is related to the need to monitor the environment and the evolution of phenomena: in this view it is important for administrator to receive notification about the status of the monitored system.
Interested student may develop a WNS (Web notification Service) using time and event driven actions.
