Sensor Web Desires  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

Sensor Web Desires II  Task sensors, when possible, to meet my specific needs  Subscribe to and receive alerts when a sensor measures a particular phenomenon

Sensor Web Vision I  Sensors will be web accessible  Sensors and sensor data will be discoverable  Sensors will be self-describing to humans and software (using a standard encoding)  Most sensor observations will be easily accessible in real time over the web

Sensor Web Vision II  Standardized web services will exist for accessing sensor information and sensor observations  Sensor systems will be capable of real- time mining of observations to find phenomena of immediate interest  Sensor systems will be capable of issuing alerts based on observations, as well as be able to respond to alerts issued by other sensors

Sensor Web Vision III  Software will be capable of on-demand geolocation and processing of observations from a newly-discovered sensor without a priori knowledge of that sensor system  Sensors, simulations, and models will be capable of being configured and tasked through standard, common web interfaces  Sensors and sensor networks will be able to act on their own (i.e. be autonomous)

20 Why OGC? Every thing has a location Location information needs to be carefully described. e.g., outdoor, indoor, geometry, topology, semantics, sensor space, etc. OGC Sensor Web Enablement is widely adopted and implemented e.g., OGC/ISO Observation and Measurements, OGC SensorML, OGC Sensor Observation Service, etc. The OGC SensorThings API is built based on the OGC SWE 20

21 ® Example: GML Point Profile Describe the location of a THING using geographic coordinates

22 ® Example: OGC CityGML – Semantic 3D city and building models provide the geometry and a thematic differentiation of the indoor areas (at least separation in building parts, levels and rooms) Describe the location of a THING in a building

23 ® Example: OGC Indoor GML Goal of IndoorGML – Common schema framework for Interoperability between indoor navigation applications Describe the location of a THING indoor
