Abstract
gvSOS: A New Client for OGC SOS Interface Standard
Track: Education
Author(s): Carlos Granell, Alain Tamayo Fong
A key problem with sensor networks is achieving interoperability between different networks. Services interfaced by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) specifications allow GIS clients to access geospatial data without knowing the details about how this data is gathered or stored. Currently, OGC is working on the Sensor Web Enablement initiative (SWE) to enable the integration of heterogeneous sensor systems and measurements into geospatial information infrastructures. In this article we present the implementation of gvSOS, a gvSIG module to connect to Sensor Observation Services (SOS). gvSOS allows gvSIG users to interact with SOS servers, displaying the information gathered by sensors. We present the development process followed to build the module. For each step of the process we specify the main obstacles found during the development. For most of the problems found we propose a solution, or at least we present a path that might lead to it.
