i. Preface

This OGC Best Practice document explains how Sensor Planning Service is organised and implemented for the Earth Observation domain. The final goal being to agree to a coherent set of interfaces for sending a programming request for EO products to support access to data from heterogeneous systems dealing with derived data products from satellite based measurements of the earth‟s surface and environment. This document has used the Implementation Specification for the Sensor Planning Service SPS 1.0 [OGC 05-089r3] as input. ii. Document terms and definitions This document uses the specification terms defined in Subclause 5.3 of [OGC 05-008], which is based on the ISOIEC Directives, Part 2, Rules for the structure and drafting of International Standards. iii.
