Helping the World to CommunicateGeographically
What is SWE?What is SWE?
• SWE is technology to enable the realization of Sensor Webs– much like TCP/IP, HTML, and HTTPD enabled the WWW
• SWE is a suite of standards from OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium)– 3 standard XML encodings (SensorML, O&M, TML)
– 4 standard web service interfaces (SOS, SAS, SPS, WNS)
• SWE is a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) approach
• SWE is an open, consensus-based set of standards
![Page 3: Mike Botts – October 2008 1 Open Geospatial Consortium Sensor Web Enablement GWG Plenary October 16, 2008 Dr. Mike Botts mike.botts@uah.edu Principal Research.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e535503460f94b48adf/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Helping the World to CommunicateGeographically
Why SWE?Why SWE?
• Break down current stovepipes
• Enable interoperability not only within communities but between traditionally disparate communities
– different sensor types: in-situ vs remote sensors, video, models, CBRNE– different disciplines: science, defense, intelligence, emergency management, utilities, etc.– different sciences: ocean, atmosphere, land, bio, target recognition, signal processing, etc.– different agencies: government, commercial, private, Joe Public
• Leverage benefits of open standards– competitive tool development– more abundant data sources– utilize efforts funded by others
• Backed by the Open Geospatial Consortium process– 350+ members cooperating in consensus process– Interoperability Process testing– CITE compliance testing

What are the benefits of SWE?What are the benefits of SWE?
• Sensor system agnostic - Virtually any sensor or model system can be supported
• Net-Centric, SOA-based– Distributed architecture allows independent development of services but enables on-the-fly
connectivity between resources
• Semantically tied– Relies on online dictionaries and ontologies for semantics
– Key to interoperability
• Traceability– observation lineage
– quality of measurement support
• Implementation flexibility– wrap existing capabilities and sensors
– implement services and processing where it makes sense (e.g. near sensors, closer to user, or in-between)
– scalable from single, simple sensor to large sensor collections

Basic DesiresBasic Desires
• Quickly discover sensors and sensor data (secure or public) that can meet my needs – based on location, observables, quality, ability to task, etc.
• Obtain sensor information in a standard encoding that is understandable by my software and enables assessment and processing without a-priori knowledge
• Readily access sensor observations in a common manner, and in a form specific to my needs
• Task sensors, when possible, to meet my specific needs
• Subscribe to and receive alerts when a sensor measures a particular phenomenon

Why is SensorML Important?Why is SensorML Important?
– Discovery of sensors and processes / plug-n-play sensors – SensorML is the means by which sensors and processes make themselves and their capabilities known; describes inputs, outputs and taskable parameters
– Observation lineage – SensorML provides history of measurement and processing of observations; supports quality knowledge of observations
– On-demand processing – SensorML supports on-demand derivation of higher-level information (e.g. geolocation or products) without a priori knowledge of the sensor system
– Intelligent, autonomous sensor network – SensorML enables the development of taskable, adaptable sensor networks, and enables higher-level problem solving anticipated from the Semantic Web

SWE Portrayal Service can “render” to various graphics standards
SensorML
For example, a SWE portrayal service can utilize a SensorML front-
end and a Styler back-end to generate graphics content (e.g. KML
or Collada)
However, it’s important that the data content standards (e.g. SWE)
exist to support the graphical exploration and exploitation !

Directions NeededDirections Needed• Real, permanent implementations
– Operational services and encodings, not just demos
• Online semantic dictionaries and ontologies– Term definitions in dictionaries
– Ontologies connecting terms
– Share dictionary with public where possible
• Discovery– Sensor discovery, as well as service discovery
– Consider discovery closer to sensor for fine grained temporal-spatial search (e.g. for UAV video)
• Process Definition Library– Define common process models in SensorML
– IPL and others can then support these models
• Sensor component and observation profile– Not necessary but useful for improved interoperability and ease of implementation
• Continued tool development• Commitment to Use
– Can go long way toward getting sensor and software vendor commitment
• Flexibility of execution location

ConclusionsConclusions• SWE has been tested and has proven itself
– Useful, flexible, efficient, extensible
– Simple to add to both new and existing legacy systems
– Enables paradigm shifts in access and processing of observations
• SWE is getting buy-in from scattered sensor communities
– A commitment from the IC and DoD communities could provide the inertia to realize the full benefits (i.e. abundance of data, available of tools)
– The IC and DoD communities will benefit from contributions in the public sectors
– Sensor vendors will contribute directly to Sensor Web only after user community commitment
– SWE open to improvements by the user communities
• Tools are being developed to support SWE
– Tools will ease buy-in
– Tools will assist in realizing the full benefits of SWE
• SWE is ready to meet the challenges of the IC and DoD communities
