On this page
This encoding is an essential dependency for the OGC Sensor Observation Service (SOS) Interface Standard. More specifically, this standard defines XML/JSON schemas for observations, and for features involved in sampling when making observations.
- User-centric
- Complemented with OGC SensorML
