[mapserver-users] SOS SERVER: how to define in the ".map" the "FeatureOfInterest" attribute

[Jeff McKenna]

Hello,

When you asked about SOS server, I took the time today to update the SOS 
Server document (http://mapserver.org/ogc/sos_server.html), as it had a 
lot of old links.  If you ever notice links or text that needs fixing in 
the docs, please file a ticket (https://github.com/mapserver/docs/issues).

In terms of the "FeatureOfInterest" parameter, it is part of a 
GetObservation request 
(http://mapserver.org/ogc/sos_server.html#getobservation-request), so it 
wouldn't be set in the .map file, but instead you (the SOS client, such 
as OpenLayers) would include the parameter as part of the GetObservation 
request.  You can read more about that FeatureOfInterest parameter on 
page 29 of the SOS 1.0.0 specification document (download that from 
http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/sos).
