Helping the World to Communicate Geographically

Helping the World to Communicate Geographically Basic Desires Quickly discover sensors and sensor data (secure or public) that can meet my needs – location, observables, quality, ability to task Obtain sensor information in a standard encoding that is understandable by me and my software Readily access sensor observations in a common manner, and in a form specific to my needs Task sensors, when possible, to meet my specific needs Subscribe to and receive alerts when a sensor measures a particular phenomenon
