INTAMAP: An Interoperable Automated Interpolation Web Service

Abstract. INTAMAP is a web processing service for the automatic interpolation of measured point data. Boundary conditions for its development were (i) using open standards for spatial data such as developed in the context of the open geospatial consortium (OGC), (ii) using a suitable environment for statistical modeling and computation, and (iii) producing an open source solution. The system couples the 52-North web processing service, accepting data in the form of an observations and measurements (O&M) document as retrieved from a 52-North sensor observation service, with a computing back-end realized in the R statistical environment. The probability distribution of interpolation errors is encoded with UncertML, a new markup language to encode uncertain data. Automatic interpolation needs to be useful for a wide range of applications and the algorithms have been designed to cope with anisotropies and extreme values. In the light of the INTAMAP experience, we will discuss the lessons learnt.
