SANY Sensors Anywhere

In December 2007, the Sensors Magazine published an article on new implementations of OGC Sensor Web Enablement standards:

SANY IP (Figure 3) is co-funded by the Information Society and Media Directorate General of the European Commission. SANY IP intends to contribute to Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES, a major European space initiative), and the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GOESS) by developing a standard open architecture and a set of basic services for in situ sensor integration of all kinds of sensors, sensor networks, and other sensor-like services. It aims to improve the interoperability of in situ sensors and sensor networks and to allow quick and cost-efficient reuse of data and services from currently incompatible sources for future environmental risk management applications. Although SANY addresses interoperability in monitoring sensor networks in general, it focuses on air quality, bathing water quality, and urban tunnel excavation monitoring.

The SANY Consortium recognizes the OGC's SWE suite of standards as one of the key technologies that can eventually lead to self-organizing, self-healing, ad-hoc networking of in situ and earth observation sensor networks. Earlier this year, SANY evaluated the capabilities of SWE services with the intention of actively contributing to further development of the SWE standard specifications. As reported at the OGC TC meeting in Ispra (December 2007), the SANY Consortium has described the common architecture used in SANY baseline applications; included architectural requirements inherited from ORCHESTRA, GEOSS, etc.; and published a road map for v1, v2, and v3 versions of the architecture.
