Sensor Web Enablement White Paper Mike Botts, PhD, University of Alabama in Huntsville 256-961-7760 mike.botts@, Dr. Botts is the principal architect of SensorML. Mark Reichardt, Executive Director, OGC Outreach and Community Adoption Program Open GIS Consortium (OGC), Inc. 301 840-1361 mreichardt@ Jeff Harrison, Executive Director, Program Development Open GIS Consortium (OGC), Inc. 703 628 8655 jharrison@ Members of the Open GIS Consortium, Inc. (OGC), an international consortium of industry, academic and government organizations (see ), are building a unique and revolutionary open platform for exploiting Web-connected sensors. Such sensors and devices include, for example: flood gauges, air pollution monitors, stress gauges on bridges, mobile heart monitors, Webcams, and satellite-borne earth imaging devices. The following are likely to be completed and adopted as OpenGIS? Specifications by OGC in 2003 and 2004: SensorML – Information model and XML encodings for discovering, querying and controlling Web-resident sensors. Observations Measurements – Information model and encodings for observations and measurements. Sensor Collection Service - Service to fetch observations from a sensor or constellation of sensors. This is the intermediary between a client and an observation repository or near real-time sensor channel. Sensor Planning Service – Service to assist in collection feasibility plans and to process collection requests for a sensor or sensor constellation. This is the intermediary between a client and a sensor collection management environment. Web Notification Service – Executes and manages message dialogue between a client and Web service(s) for long duration asynchronous processes. The goal is to make all types of Web-resident sensors, instruments, and imaging devices, and also repositories of sensor data, discoverable, accessible and, where applicable, controllable via the World Wide Web. That is, the goal is to enable the creation of Web-based
