<div>Hello,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I've read all the recent email postings on the topic of SOS and
GetOberservation. But I didn't find an answer as to how it suppose to
work.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Like the others, my sos-test.map is essentially the example
posted in the how-tos section with a few minor changes (see below).
GetCapabilities and DescribeSensor work just fine. But I'm not sure
what I got back from GetObservation is right.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>My GotObservation request is</div>
<div

></span
>l/apache2/htdocs/sos/sos-test.map&SERVICE=SOS&REQUEST=GetObs<span
></span
>ervation&Offering=AMS001&observedproperty=AMS%20Fire&ver<span
></span>sion=0.0.31</div>
<div>I got back this</div>
<div><font face="Lucida Grande" size="-3"
color="#000000"><om:ObservationCollection gml:id="AMS001"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengeospatial.net/om
http://schemas.opengis.net/om.xsd"/></font></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>My questions are</div>
<div>1) What do I suppose to get back using the 3 GetOberservation
examples (listed in the how-tos SOS)?</div>
<div>2) I suspect that I need to assign a real shapefile or database
to DATA in the LAYER section. Am I right?</div>
<div>3) Is there a working SOS server out there that I can use as a
reference?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Any help is appreciated. Thanks</div>
