The Spatial Data on the Web Working Group is finalizing the "Semantic Sensor Network" specification: https://w3c.github.io/sdw/ssn/ The group intends to request transition to Candidate Recommendation during May, and is thus actively looking for feedback on the specification as soon as possible. Abstract: The Semantic Sensor Network Ontology (SSN) is an ontology for describing sensors and their observations, the involved procedures, the studied features of interest, the samples used to do so, and the observed properties, as well as actuators. SSN follows a horizontal and vertical modularization architecture by including a lightweight but self-contained core ontology called SOSA (Sensor, Observation, Sample, and Actuator) for its elementary classes and properties. Given their different scope and degree of axiomatization, SSN and SOSA support a wide range of applications and use cases, including satellite imagery, large-scale scientific monitoring, industrial and household infrastructures, social sensing, citizen science, observation-driven ontology engineering, and the Web of Things. A summary of (substantial) changes since previous versions is available in the spec: https://w3c.github.io/sdw/ssn/#changes Thank you Phil -- Phil Archer Data Strategist, W3C http://www.w3.org/ http://philarcher.org +44 (0)7887 767755 @philarcher1
