OGC 08-094r1 SWE Common Data Model

i. Preface

The primary focus of the SWE Common Data Model is to define and package sensor related data in a self-describing and semantically enabled way. The main objective is to achieve interoperability, first at the syntactic level, and later at the semantic level by using ontologies and probably semantic mediation so that sensor data can be better understood by machines, processed automatically in complex workflows and easily shared between intelligent sensor web nodes. This standard is one of several implementation standards produced under OGC’s Sensor Web Enablement SWE activity. This standard is a revision of content that was previously integrated to the SensorML standard OGC 07-000. These common data models are now defined in a separate document that is referenced by other OGC ® SWE encoding and service standards. ii.

Future Work Future work will target the definition of specialized data structures by restricting the generic data types defined in this standard. Such profiles will allow interoperability with formats and models defined by other communities e.g. CSML, MISB, etc..
