Data can be manually uploaded or streamed from web-enabled, environmental data collection devices. The application uses an ODM2 database instance for data storage in the backend. For streaming data, any web-enabled device or computer can post data to an instance of this application, but we have primarily designed it for data collected by citizen scientists using Arduino-based Mayfly dataloggers in collaboration with the EnviroDIY community.

Data can be manually uploaded via a file or streamed from web-enabled, environmental data collection devices. The application uses an Observations Data Model Version 2 (ODM2) database instance for data storage in the backend. For streaming data, any web-enabled device or computer can POST data to an instance of this application, but we have primarily designed it for data collected by citizen scientists using Arduino-based Mayfly dataloggers in collaboration with the EnviroDIY community. Learn more at http://www.envirodiy.org. -The main instance of this application is currently hosted at http://data.envirodiy.org. -We will be moving soon to data.wikiwatershed.org. +The main instance of this application is currently hosted at http://monitormywatershed.org. + +## Deployment Guide +A guide for deploying the data sharing portal is available [here](https://github.com/ODM2/ODM2DataSharingPortal/blob/master/doc/deployment_guide.md). ## Example POST Requests for Streaming Data The ODM2DataSharingPortal relies on devices that can push data to the web using HTTP POST requests. We've included some documentation where you can view [example POST requests](https://github.com/ODM2/ODM2WebSDL/blob/master/doc/example_rest_requests.md) to learn the syntax. ## EnviroDIY Datalogger Code and Libraries The source code for the EnviroDIY Mayfly loggers, examples, and libraries are hosted in GitHub at https://github.com/EnviroDIY. + +## Credits +Funding for this work was provided by the William Penn Foundation under grant 158-15.
