Features
The current 52°North SOS (version 3.1.1) implements the core, transactional, and
parts of the enhanced profile of the SOS specification. The current
release implements the latest schema version (1.0.0) and the following operations:
Core SOS operations:
- GetCapabilities, for requesting a self-description of the service.
- GetObservation, for requesting the pure sensor data encoded in Observations & Measurements (O&M)
- DescribeSensor, for requesting meta information about the sensor itself, encoded in a Sensor Model Language (SensorML) instance document.
Transactional SOS operations:
- RegisterSensor, for signing up new sensors.
- InsertObservation, for inserting new observations for registered sensors.
Additional SOS operations:
- GetResult, for facilitating periodically polling sensor data.
- GetObservationById, for retrieving specific individual observations.
- GetFeatureOfInterest, for requesting the GML encoded representation of the feature that is the target of the observation.
- GetFeatureOfInterestTime, for determining the temporal availability of sensor data
Client:
- A browser based client provides test XML queries for all supported operations.
