A tool to migrate sensor metadata from ODM1 to an API-driven sensor-management system

The observation-data model (ODM) is a relational data model combining observation data and the corresponding metadata. The migration tool extracts the metadata and inserts it into a management tool for sensor and device data using API calls. The tool is implemented in Python and highly configurable in terms of the source database and the target sensor-management system. We use it to migrate the Tereno metadata to the Helmholtz Sensor Management System.
