Work Package 3 (WP3) Aim:
To develop a FloodTwin digital hub, for integrating and storing data, models, tools and stakeholder input.
Specific tasks are:
Task 3.1. will integrate data from multiple sources, supporting various formats for analytical processing, forecasting, and interpolation. It will use open data standards and be interoperable. Time-series sensor data will be harvested from open APIs to build a big-data store.
The platform will leverage the NERC National Geoscience Data Centre for robust data storage and use JASMIN for cloud computing. New technology stacks will be developed to enable data and tool dissemination. Deliverables include architectures for data ingestion, real-time forecasting, and a decision support tool.
Task 3.2: Digital Data Standards and Workflows: The digital hub will incorporate NGDC data policies, management procedures, and ISO metadata catalogues. It will adopt open data policies and robust metadata systems for governance. Data pipelines and workflows will be defined to validate, merge, transform, and consolidate data into various formats. This will support analytics, visualisation tools, and model inputs, ensuring data consistency and provenance.
Task 3.3: Digital Interface: Hybrid spatial database systems will interface with existing network architecture to store and serve near real-time data. Open APIs and tools will be developed to provide data interfaces for stakeholders. This will include real-time data extraction for modelling and visualisation, enabling data re-use across multiple platforms. The platform will serve as a comprehensive research evidence base.
