Abstract:
SANY IP consortium (http://www.sany-ip.eu) recently developed several interesting
service prototypes that extend the usability of the Open Geospatial Consortium "Sensor Web
Enablement" (OGC SWE) architecture. One such service prototype, developed by the Austrian
Research Centers, is the "Cascading SOS" (SOS-X). SOS-X is a client to the underlying OGC
Sensor Observation service(s) (SOS). It provides alternative access routes to users (or services)
interested in accessing data. In addition to a simple cascading, SOS-X can re-format, re-organise,
and merge data from several sources into a single SOS offering. Thanks to the built-in "Formula 3"
prototype, a kind of time series library, SOS-X will be enabled to derive new data sets on the fly
executing arbitrary algebraic operations on one or more data input streams. This article will discuss
the SOS-X development status (focusing at end of 2008), further development agenda in year 2009,
and possibilities for using the SOS-X outside of the SANY IP.
