近年来，开放地理空间联盟（OGC）的传感器网络支持（SWE）标准已成功应用于多个实际应用。典型的领域包括从国土安全的环境监测到灾害管理。与此同时，移动通信技术已广泛普及，世界上大部分人口都能够进行电子通信。在一些发展中国家，移动通信基础设施的可用性甚至比水和电的供应还要好。 SWE 架构和移动通信网络的通用可用性这两个方面的结合为创建更强大的监控系统开辟了前景。这项工作展示了如何将人类观察与传感器网络技术相结合，并提出了一种系统设计，利用人类传感器网络的理念来构建一个监测系统，以改善桑给巴尔的供水。
In recent years the Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) standards of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) have been successfully applied in several practical applications. Typical domains range from environmental monitoring over homeland security to disaster management. At the same time, mobile communication technology has spread widely so that large parts of the world’s population are able to communicate electronically. In several developing countries the mobile communication infrastructure has even reached a better availability than the supply with water and electricity. The combination of these two aspects the SWE architecture and the common availability of mobile communication networks opens up the perspective to create even more powerful monitoring systems. This work shows how human observations can be integrated with the Sensor Web technology and presents a system design which makes use of the Human Sensor Web idea to build a monitoring system for improving the water supply in Zanzibar.
