abstract = {The worldwide Sensor Web comprises observation data from
diverse sources. Each data provider may process and assess
datasets differently before making them available online.
This information is often invisible to end users. Therefore,
publishing observation data with quality descriptions is
vital as it helps users to assess the suitability of data
for their applications. It is also important to capture
contextual information concerning data quality such as
provenance to trace back incorrect data to its origins. In
the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC)’s Sensor Web
Enablement (SWE) framework, there is no sufficiently and
practically applicable approach how these aspects can be
systematically represented and made accessible. This paper
presents Q-SOS—an extension of the OGC’s Sensor
Observation Service (SOS) that supports retrieval of
observation data together with quality descriptions. These
descriptions are represented in an observation data model
covering various aspects of data quality assessment. The
service and the data model have been developed based on open
standards and open source tools, and are productively being
used to share observation data from the TERENO observatory
infrastructure. We discuss the advantages of deploying the
presented solutions from data provider and consumer
viewpoints. Enhancements applied to the related open-source
developments are also introduced.},
