Building a Web of Sensors - Introducing the OGC Sensor Web Enablement Initiative

Tutorial at

Third International Conference on GeoSpatial Semantics,
December 3-4, 2009
Centro de Investigación en Computación, Mexico City, Mexico

Abstract

The vision of the Sensor Web is to make all kinds of sensors discoverable, accessible and taskable over the internet. To achieve this vision, the Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) initiative of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) is defining standards for the Sensor Web. After introducing the different building blocks of the Sensor Web, the application of these in different scenarios will be demonstrated. Furthermore, the 52°North SWE suite will be presented as an Open Source implementation of the SWE standards. Finally, the first steps and necessary future work towards a Semantic Sensor Web will be explained.
