Helping the World to Communicate Geographically Copyright © 2008, Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc., All Rights Reserved. OGC Sensor Web Standards - Goals Quickly discover sensors (secure or public) that can meet my needs – and learn about what they can do (location, observables, quality, ability to task) Obtain sensor information in a standard encoding that is understandable by the user and by software Readily access sensor observations in a common manner, and in a form specific to my needs Task sensors, when possible, to meet my specific needs Request and receive alerts / notification when a sensor measures a particular phenomenon, or completes a requested task

Summary Industry is leading the way to standardize the use of the technologies needed to make NextGen work –Perhaps not the players you expect, but that is one of the benefits of being open and non-proprietary Location is the only common factor in all phases of flight operations –Using it as the foundation for standardization makes sense Do you need separate systems for ground and air operations as if they never intersect? AIXM is taking the high ground and we want to help you get there faster, cheaper, at less risk
