1. Introduction

1.1 Scope

This document provides a technical description of the work completed for the Climatology-Hydrology Information Sharing Pilot, Phase 1 project. This document describes a profile of SOS, the NRCan GIN SOS 2.0 profile, developed in order to define a baseline of interoperability among the sensor observation services used in the project. This document describes the use cases used to drive the component development during the project. The first use case was a flood scenario that involved exchanging cross- border hydrologic data with a unified alert service. The second use case involved calculating nutrient loads to the Great Lakes, which also involved the cross-border exchange of analytic data. This document describes each component developed during the project and the challenges encountered and overcome during the development. The newly developed components include a nutrient load calculation client, a SOS integrating water quality data form the U.S. and Canada, a nutrient load calculation service, an upstream gauge service, a subscription client, and an event notification service composed of a number of sub-components including a subscription broker, an observation harvester and a CAP alert client.
