Conceptual model

In AURORAL the different participating entities are organized as in the schema below:

Hierarchy

Everything starts with a user registering an organization, that then can invite other members to it.

Organisations in AURORAL have users and nodes

• The users interact over the web
• The nodes integrate items

The items in AURORAL represent any connected data source

• An item can be private, ‘shareable’ with friends, or public
• And item can be discovered (metadata) or accessed (data, i.e., sensor measurements)

Organisations can create relationships:

• Contracts, data sharing
• Communities, discovery
