Basic Requirements for Sensor Web Quickly discover sensors and sensor data (secure or public) that can meet my needs – location, observables, quality, ability to task Obtain sensor information in a standard encoding that is understandable by me and my 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 Subscribe to and receive alerts when a sensor measures a particular phenomenon Copyright © 2009, Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc., All Rights Reserved.

Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) Specifications Information Models and Schemas Sensor Model Language (SensorML) Observations and Measurements (O&M) TransducerML SWE Common Web Services Sensor Observation Service (SOS) Sensor Planning Service (SPS) Sensor Alert Service (SAS) Sensor Registries DIB Applications - External Tasking, Mission Management, Distributed Sensor Planner Sensor Planning Service Provides a standard interface for planning and tasking sensors. SPS interface operations include: DescribeCollectionRequest() GetFeasibility() SubmitRequest() UpdateRequest() CancelRequest() GetStatus() ACTM – Airborne Common Tasking Message Created to reflect the tasking information used by all DoD and IC platforms. Provided as input to OWS-3 in support of the SPS maturation.

Observations Observation - an event whose result is an estimate of the value of some property of a feature-of-interest, obtained using a specified procedure Observations are modeled as Features within the context of the General Feature Model - ISO 19109 Copyright © 2009, Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc., All Rights Reserved.

SWE Components – Web Services Access Sensor Description and Data Command and Task Sensor Systems SOS SPS Discover Services, Sensors, Providers, Data Accessible from various types of clients from PDAs and Cell Phones to high end Workstations SAS Catalog Service Dispatch Sensor Alerts to registered Users Clients SWE web services: Sensor Observation Service – Access to sensor or simulated data Sensor Planning Service – Sensor System or Simulator Control Interface Sensor Alert Service – Subscribe to specific alerts usually derived from sensor/simulator data Catalog Service – Discover other services, sensors, providers and data sets SWE Steps: Services are first registered in one or several catalogs also accessible through a standard interface. Client can discover services, provider, sensors and datasets by using the catalog Client can then access data from SOS, control sensors and simulators using SPS and receive alerts from SAS Copyright © 2009, Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc., All Rights Reserved.
