Sensor Tracker is a software package built by the Coastal Environmental Observation Technology and Research group (CEOTR) to manage metadata used in data processing pipelines and for informational purposes. It includes a database, a web-based user interface, and an interface for JSON formatted metadata (REST API) for managing scientific research metadata collected from platforms, instruments and sensors. This webinar will discuss the technologies used to build Sensor Tracker, provide an overview of how to use different parts of the software (including examples of how CEOTR is using it), and discuss plans for new features.
