Ocean Science Interoperability Experiment Phase 1 Report
2011
This OGC Engineering report details lessons learned and best practices defined as part of the Phase 1 Ocean Science Interoperability Experiment (Oceans IE).The Oceans IE was performed to investigate the use of OGC Web Feature Services (WFS) and OGC Sensor Observation Services (SOS) for representing and exchanging point data records from fixed in-situ marine platforms.The activity concluded that for the Oceans community use of in-situ sensors that the OGC Sensor Observation Services (SOS) was better suited than the use of OGC Web Feature Services (WFS) for this purpose.
