Metadata on sensor, actuator or sampler

Hi SDW - SSN,

I have been following the SSN developments for the last couple of months and I have not found much on metadata of the actual sensor. Contrary to O&M and ISO19115 which is metadata on the observations or measurements, I mean the metadata on a physical sensor, actuator or sampler. For example as is done in SensorML, see: http://www.sensorml.com/sensorML-2.0/examples/metadata..html. This could be metadata such as: name of the sensor, type, manufacturer, electrical requirements, start time, or measurement properties. Has any work been done on aligning SOSA to SWE / SensorML, or are there other options to link to metadata of a sensor, actuator or sampler?

Any insight is greatly appreciated.



Kind regards,
