%0 Journal Article %T Sharing Sensor Data with SensorSA and Cascading Sensor Observation Service %A Denis Havlik %A Thomas Bleier %A Gerald Schimak %J Sensors %D 2009 %I MDPI AG %R 10.3390/s90705493 %X The SANY IP consortium (http://www.sany-ip.eu) has recently developed several interesting service prototypes that extend the usability of the Open Geospatial Consortium ˇ°Sensor Web Enablementˇ± (OGC SWE) architecture. One such service prototype, developed by the Austrian Research Centers, is the ˇ°cascading SOSˇ± (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-organize, and merge data from several sources into a single SOS offering. Thanks to the built-in ˇ°Formula 3ˇ± 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. %K Sensor Observation Service (SOS) %K cascading SOS %K Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) %K OGC Sensor Web Enablement (OGC-SWE) %K Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) %K Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) %K SANY IP %K ORCHESTRA %K data acquisition %K UWEDAT %K service oriented architecture %K events driven architecture %U http://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/9/7/5493
