At the OGC TC meeting which took place this week in Brussels, our new SOS extension for the GeoServices REST API was presented. This extension, which is based on ArcGIS Server 10.1, embeds the functionality of a Sensor Observation Service (SOS) into the GeoServices REST API. The GeoServices REST API is currently making its way through the OGC standardization process.

The implementation of the SOS extension for the GeoServices REST API based on ArcGIS Server is developed for a project with the European Environment Agency (EEA). With the help of this software, the provision of Europe’s environmental data shall be facilitated – accessing data such as Ozone, noise, or water quality will become easier in future.

Please check the presentation held at the OGC TC meeting. The slides introduce to the project with EEA and the SOS extension.
