ORNL’s SensorPedia targets national security mission
From the news release:

SensorPedia, a writeable Web site in development at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, solves a huge problem by giving emergency responders and decision-makers access to data from diverse sensor networks in near real time…Rather than attempting to get everyone to adopt one standard, as its name suggests, SensorPedia adopts the underlying technology of Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia collaboratively written by readers, as a model. SensorPedia, however, is different from Wikipedia in three ways. The ORNL implementation of SensorPedia will link to near-real-time data, which will provide streaming of data; SensorPedia will support interactive “mashups” of information; and only approved personnel will be authorized to write to the SensorPedia Web site.
