1. DA-07-04 Sensor Web Enablement for In-Situ Observing Network Facilitation

2. Organizations Meraka Institute (Task Point and Lead) CSIR CSIRO NCAR University of Muenster University of Alabama

3. Activities A geospatial information infrastructure connecting heterogeneous in-situ sensors and remote sensors, shall be defined. This includes the definition and design of the Sensor Web Communication- and Information layers. The Task should evaluate the applicable standards for the application of a Sensor Web based approach for the different GEO SBAs To provide a mechanism to register and categorise Web services, a service registry shall be designed. Case studies shall be designed as demonstration projects for at least 3 SBAs Coordination shall be established with the Interoperability arrangements for GEOSS through cordination with Tasks AR-07-01 and AR-07-02 Relevant synergies with Tasks on information networks such as HE-07-01 shall be addressed

4. Pilot Use Case WRON Extracting from use cases the required descriptions for sensors and/or sensor systems (including platforms). Sensor registries (from consumer markets to specialized scientific requirements). Reference architecture and its implementation (software instantiation), using OGC/SWE. Document relevant standards (ISO/TC 211, OGC, OASIS, IEEE, ISO/IEC JTC 1, etc).

5. GEO Assistance Gather data about sensors to populate registries with SensorML, GEO web team has agreed to assist with a web form Putting the sensor map on the GEO portal Pushing SensorML as a candidate standard
