SSN - RE: ACTION-315: Send a blurb on swe to jano via email (Spatial Data on the Web Working Group)

Dealing with ISSUE-110 - background on OGC SWE: 

---------

Starting in 2002, OGC's Sensor Web Enablement initiative has developed a generic framework for delivering sensor data, dealing with remote-sensing, moving platforms, and in-situ monitoring and sensing. The Sensor Observation Service (originally known as Sensor Collection Service) defines a standard query interface for sensor and observation data, following the pattern established by OGC Web Map Service, Web Feature Service and Web Coverage Service. The default response document is in XML using SensorML and OMXML. OMXML is an XML implementation of the O&M UML model. 

SensorML and O&M are complementary viewpoints. SensorML is 'provider-centric', and encodes details of the sensor along with raw observation data. SensorML is self-contained and highly flexible. The latter makes life easy for data producers but is demanding on consumers. It provides extensive support for serialization of numeric data arrays, and is particularly optimized for data that includes multiple parallel streams that must be processed together: for example the data collected by cameras on airborne vehicles must be georeferenced based on the instantaneous position of the platform and orientation of the camera. O&M was designed to be more 'user-centric', with the target of the observation and the observed property as first-class object. O&M works at a higher semantic level than SensorML, but only provides abstract classes for the sensor, feature of interest and observable property, expecting the details to be provided by specific applications and domains.
