[fdo-internals] Development of FDO provider for OGC SOS

[Pierre-Nicolas.HUTIN at fr.thalesgroup.com]

> Good Morning,
> 
> I'm currently studying FDO technology to access some information from an
> OGC service called Sensor Observation Service (SOS).  The Sensor
> Observation Service provides infomation about some sensors and their
> measurements in a standard way defined by OGC
> (http://www.opengeospatial.org/projects/groups/sensorweb). The response
> from the SOS is an XML document.
> 
> The idea would be to display the sensor on a map, according the position
> provided by the SOS, and according the value of its measurements change
> the display of the sensor marker (color or symbol). Another point is that
> a SOS stores data from several measurements; how historical measurements
> can be made accessible via FDO ?   
> 
> I wanted to know if anyone is currently developping such a provider or has
> already thought of doing it. What is the starting point and what can be
> reused from the providers for WMS/WFS which are other OGC services? 
> 
> Thank you!
