In many scientific experiments and real-world decision makings, we often need to consider various facts comprehensively using diverse fields of scientific sensing data and their analyzed data. Nowadays, while we are being able to access a variety of natural and social sensing data over the Web, it is still a non-trivial problem to integrate and mine the massive volume of heterogeneous and complex data to comprehend various social and physical phenomena in a simplified and effective way. In order to support the complicated and time-consuming task for searching and exploiting various geo-social sensing data, we are developing a geo-social sensing data service that can provide a critical data sharing space, where scientists can search data and extend their research work based on heterogeneous and disparate data sources. In this paper, we explain critical problems when dealing with heterogeneous sensing data and propose a data service to enable researchers to access the data sources and manage their own data throughout research work. We also describe our preliminary effort to integrate two different systems by sharing data sources and discuss the relevant problems.
