The main concepts involved in the design of the RCP are sensors, contexts, context’s geographic features, and events. All these concepts are managed in the workspace of a given organisation.

As suggested in figure above, the context is the top-level concept with several properties and geographic features. Complementary organisations set up and manage different types of sensors deployed in some geographic place, thus being associated with one or more contexts. Real or simulated events (e.g., flood, heavy precipitation, storm, tsunami) occur in the scope of a context, have multiple properties, and use sensor observations that provide useful data streams. In the following paragraphs, we offer a comprehensive analysis of these concepts.
