[Board] Support letter for project

[Massimiliano Cannata]

Dear Angelos, and board
I'm contacting you since I'm submitting a proposal for extending the 
latest version of istSOS wich include SensorThingsAPI with 
reproducibility features.

Would it be possible to have a letter of support from OSGeo?
Unfortunately the deadline is very on the 14/05 at 12:00 which is very 
very close (my fault)... but worth to give a try.
Maybe a quick online vote would make it possible :-)

Here below the short abstract and a template for letter of support.

Best,
Maxi


*ABSTRACT*
ReDaS – Reproducible Data from Sensor Web Services addresses current 
limitations of geospatial web services in supporting scientific 
reproducibility and full compliance with FAIR principles. Building on 
the OGC SensorThings API (STA), the project proposes to extend existing 
services by introducing a time-travel feature that enables access to 
historical versions of sensor data. This will allow researchers to cite 
and retrieve the exact datasets used in a study, even long after data 
collection. ReDaS also explores fine-grained access control mechanisms 
to strengthen data sovereignty and promote responsible data sharing. The 
proposed solutions will be developed and validated through collaboration 
with three environmental research infrastructures (eLTER, TERENO, and a 
UNESCO ecohydrology site). With an open and participatory approach, the 
project aims to support the broader scientific community in building 
more transparent, sustainable, and reproducible data services.

-----------------------------------
To whom it may concern,

We would like to express our support for the project proposal titled: 
"ReDaS: Reproducible Data from Sensor Web Services. Enabling trusted 
integration of environmental sensor data in research infrastructures 
through open, reproducible web services".

We consider the project relevant to the development of open, 
FAIR-aligned, and reproducible digital services for environmental 
research using Open Source Software and Open Standard. Its focus on 
enhancing interoperability through the implementation of a SensorThings 
API extension for traveltime for permanent URL access addresses concrete 
needs in the management and use of environmental monitoring data and 
science reproducibility.

We welcome initiatives such as ReDaS that aim to strengthen the 
connection between research, technological innovation, and long-term 
service adoption within research infrastructures.

Sincerely,
XXXXXXXX
