Sorry, I forgot to CC the soc mailing list...

> Thanks for the reply. I was aware of the 52north sos implementation,
> but I did not know of any running work on its integration into
> GeoKettle (idea suggestion does not state that).

> Nevertheless, on irc, I suggested an idea related to sos:

> Use a SQL-like language to query a SOS.

> This idea came to my mind when (we were) working with wireless sensor
> nets WSN (in a students project), see [1] for more details.
>
> A potential usage scenario:
> - developer formulates a sql-like query
> - sql query is transformed to a SOS conformant query (maybe using SensorML)
> - sos query is sent to SOS (web service)
>
> Maybe, this is worth it to be considered... If yes, I would be
> interested in further investigation on this topic given that there
> would be a mentor for gsoc...

>>> Hello SoC team,
>>> I am interested in providing a SOS data source to GeoKettel.

>>> I am a master's student in "geodesy and geoinformatics" at the

>> Hi Erdal,
>>
>> Please note that the support of SOS in GeoKettle is currently under
>> development by another member of the Spatialytics.org community. So
>> feeding a geospatial data warehouse with data coming from for instance
>> the 52north SOS implementation should be possible shortly with GeoKettle.
>>
>> If you are interested in adding new data sources support in GeoKettle, I
>> invite you to consider the support for reading/writing OSM data or if
>> you want to focus on OGC compliant web services, WFS support is another
>> important feature we want to add to GeoKettle. OGR support is also part
>> of our plans in the near future but could be too complex for a GSoC
>> project.
>>
>> Any other idea is obviously welcome so do not hesitate to propose your
>> own idea ;-).
>>
>> I invite you to join the GeoKettle users and dev mailing lists:
>>
>> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geokettle-users
>> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geokettle-devel
>>
>> Do not hesitate to contact me to discuss further your proposal.
