1. MIWP7-a: overview and state-of-play 29th MIG-T meeting, Ispra, 19-20 April 2016 Alexander Kotsev

2. MIWP7-a “SOS sub-group”
Members of the sub-group:
Member State representatives: 13
Environmental agencies
Research
Private sector
Represented domains:
Air quality (AT, IT)
Geology & Solis (FR, SE)
Marine & Meteo (IT, AT)
Collect relevant use cases
Comments on existing TG
Propose updates of:
TG for SOS-based Download Services
D 2.9 “Guidelines for the use of Observations & Measurements and Sensor Web Enablement-related standards in INSPIRE”
Mandate

3. Results 1/2 Updated Technical Guidance
D2.9 “Guidelines for the use of O&M and SWE standards in INSPIRE”
Before:
Overview of O&M and SOS , (90 %)
INSPIRE-specific content (10 %)
Now:
Focus on implementers
Guidance tailored to INSPIRE
Previously existing content as Annexes
Simpler and shorter document
Alignment with TG for download services
Technical Editor: Sylvain Grellet, BRGM FR

4. Results 2/2 Open Source Implementation
Before:
Implementation of the SOS interface as documented in previous draft of extension proposal for TG
No support of INSPIRE observation types as described in D2.9
Now:
Support of additional observation types: PointObservation, PointTimeSeriesObservation, MultiPointObservation, ProfileObservation, TrajectoryObservation)
Adjustments based on discussions and parallel developments with BRGM (editor of TG update)
Implementer: 52°North (Carsten Hollmann and Simon Jirka)

5. Results 2/2 Open Source Implementation
Observation Type
Description/Example
Potential Data Sets for Demo
PointObservation
Latest measurement of an observed property at a location
Up-to-date air quality measurements (e.g. data measured at JRC)
PointTimeSeriesObservation
Time series of measurements of an observed property at a location
Hydrogeological time series data (installation ongoing at BRGM)
MultiPointObservation
Latest measurement of an observed property at the same time on multiple locations
Current measurements of meteorological parameters (data set has not yet been identified)
ProfileObservation
Measurement of an observed property at different depths or heights
E.g. water temperature at different depths (data set has not yet been identified)
TrajectoryObservation
Mobile sensors and their measurement
FerryBox data (installation ongoing within the NeXOS project)

6. Present and submit results to MIG-T for endorsement
