Introduction to SWE
Sensor networks are an important means for capturing real time information about a nearly unlimited number of environmental phenomena. Properties observed by sensor networks range from weather data, hydrological information like water level measurements or air quality data to positioning information of objects or persons. In order to make use of such a big range of very heterogeneously structured information the integration into application systems becomes very important. As spatial data infrastructures (SDI) are well established for building distributed applications in the geospatial domain, it is of special importance to link them with sensors and sensor data. This is the goal of the OGC Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) architecture, which provides an interoperable framework of standards for
- accessing and encoding sensor data
- describing sensor metadata
- alerting based on measured sensor data
- controlling sensors
