OWS-8 Tracking: Moving Target Indicator Process, Workflows and Implementation Results ER
2012
The scope of this report is to provide a description of services, data storage and data movement within the OWS-8 Tracking sub-thread.The paper outlines the development of Sensor Observation Services (SOS), a Web Feature Service(WFS), a Notification Service and a Web Processing Service (WPS) for generating track features.Additionally, implemented encodings will be discussed as examples and in comparison to the encodings detailed in (Simonis, 2011).This document is a deliverable for the OGC Web Services 8 (OWS-8) testbed activity.OWS testbeds are part of OGC's Interoperability Program, a global, hands-on and collaborative prototyping program designed to rapidly develop, test and deliver proven candidate standards or revisions to existing standards into OGC's Standards Program, where they are formalized for public release.In OGC's Interoperability Initiatives, international teams of technology providers work together to solve specific geoprocessing interoperability problems posed by the Initiative's sponsoring organizations.OGC Interoperability Initiatives include test beds, pilot projects, interoperability experiments and interoperability support services -all designed to encourage rapid development, testing, validation and adoption of OGC standards.The OWS-8 sponsors are organizations seeking open standards for their interoperability requirements.After analyzing their requirements, the OGC Interoperability Team recommend to the sponsors that the content of the OWS-8 initiative be organized around the following threads: * Observation Fusion * Geosynchronization (Gsync) * Cross-Community Interoperability (CCI) * Aviation More information about the OWS-8 testbed can be found at: http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/requests/74
