Meteorological data; Web service; API; Open Data
The Federal University of Western Pará State - Ufopa is an institution of scientific
teaching and research, located in the north of Brazil, which seeks in its strategic
planning, through its mission, to produce and socialize knowledge, contributing to
citizenship, innovation and development in the Amazon. With the creation of this
university, in 2009, researchers from different areas were attracted in order to
contribute and make it a reference in the Amazonian scenario. Currently at Ufopa,
research is being developed, generating a large volume of data, in different formats
and platforms, which often, due to the lack of an institutional data policy, are
inaccessible to the academic community and society in general. The purpose of this
work is to model a weather station data infrastructure where each researcher,
through access identification, can contribute data from ongoing or completed
surveys, and thus make this information available to the community, through a web
portal for viewing. , data consumption by other applications and download in open
format files. At the end of this work, it is expected to contribute with technological
solutions that allow the integration of research data, favor and encourage the reuse
of public resources, treat the data collected at the stations making them available in
open format files and for consumption by other applications, facilitate the search for
research information through the Internet, thus favoring new research or assisting in
decision-making at the society level.
