i. Abstract
The primary focus of the Sensor Model Language SensorML is to provide a robust and semantically-tied means of defining processes and processing components associated
with the measurement and post-measurement transformation of observations. This includes sensors and actuators as well as computational processes applied pre- and post-
measurement. The main objective is to enable interoperability, first at the syntactic level and later at the
semantic level by using ontologies and semantic mediation, so that sensors and processes can be better understood by machines, utilized 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 in the SensorML version 1.0 standard OGC 07-000.

iv. Future Work
Future work will target the description of specialized processes, sensors, and actuators by restricting via profiles the generic models and schema defined in this standard. Such
profiles will allow interoperability of models and schema both within specific processing and measurement communities as well as between disparate.
