Abstract

This article presents a microservice-oriented concept for the handling of measurement data. It consists of five phases providing collection, processing, persisting, dissemination and presentation of measurement data. The concept has been implemented and evaluated for one use case dealing with air pollutants and air quality time series. It includes tools for data ingestion as well as a set of generic microservices for the provision of different data types.

    The term “data ingestion” is often used for this process. However, we already use “data ingestion” elsewhere (see below).
