I15 (ISO19115 Metadata) Extension Package of CS-W ebRIM Profile 1.0 SWG

Mobile device users who require map/geospatial application services and operate in disconnected or limited network connectivity environments are challenged by not having open, available geospatial data to support these applications.  Further challenging mobile device users are the limited storage available and the likelihood that each map/geospatial application will require its own potentially proprietary geospatial data store.  These separate application-specific data stores may contain the same geospatial data, wasting the limited storage available, and requiring custom applications for data translation, replication, and synchronization to enable different map/geospatial applications to shar

OGC has identified the need for standardized interfaces for sensors in the Web of Things (WoT).  The Sensor Web interface for IoT SWG aims to develop such a standard based on existing WoT portals with consideration of the existing OGC Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) standards.

The importance of location information and sensor observations to the IoT has been recognized.  Accordingly, OGC conducted several workshops to determine the application of relevant standards to IoT (http://www.ogcnetwork.net/IoT).  A main conclusion of these workshops is contained in this recommendation from the November 2011 workshop:

Purpose of this Standards Working Group

The purpose of this IndoorGML Standard Working Group is to develop an application schema of OGC GML and progress the document to the state of an adopted OGC standard. The goal of this candidate standard is to establish a common schema framework for indoor navigation applications. This SWG will start from the discussion paper (OGC 10-191r1, Requirements and Space-Event Modeling for Indoor Navigation), which summarizes the requirements and basic idea of a standard for indoor navigation.
