Deliverable 2.1.3 – Investigating interoperability of O&M with common dissemination formats (INSPIRE, SeaDataNet ODV/NetCDF and GOSUD).

Warning: The content of this deliverable is deprecated and is kept public for informational purposes only. Initially, it was planned to use a Sensor Observation Service (SOS) instance for the RV Belgica data management and dissemination. However, we ultimately decided to implement a SensorThings instance instead.

The objective of this deliverable is first to briefly introduce the OGC SWE standards used to store the information (O&M and SML). Then the ease of mapping SWE with the targeted international repositories is assessed, namely INSPIRE, SeaDataNet and GOSUD. The choice of those three repositories is guided by our mandatory legal obligations (e.g., INSPIRE – Directive 2007/2/EC, NODC) and our historical involvement in various projects (e.g., Seadatanet and GOSUD). Aside from mappings, we also discuss possible technical implementations.
