Abstract: Deriving reliable conclusions and insights from environmental observations urgently requires enrichment of the data with consistent and comprehensive metadata, including time-resolved context such as changing deployments, configurations, and maintenance actions. We have therefore developed the Sensor Management System (SMS), which provides a feature-rich platform for modeling even the most complex sensor systems and managing all sensor-related information across their life cycle. Each entity is described via well-defined terms like Devices, Platforms, and Configurations, as well as Sites that are further enhanced with attributes like instrument manufacturers, contact information, or measured quantities and complemented by a continuous history of system-related actions. By further linking the SMS to subsequent systems and services like a registry for Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) or controlled vocabularies (CVs) and establishing a community of end-users, the SMS provides the central element of a digital ecosystem and a transferable solution for practical sensor management across institutional contexts that fosters a more consistent, sustainable, and Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) provision of sensor-related metadata.
