[Live-demo] Review of istSOS Project Overview

Sun Jan 10 13:54:34 PST 2016

Hi Maxi,
I've reviewed your istSOS Project Overview which is attached.
Have you put this into git yet? If not, I suggest you do.
Overall, it looks to be in pretty good shape.
I've tweaked some of the syntax, and made some comments. Look for ".. 
Cameron comment:"
My key comment is that the images are too large, which makes the layout 
look bad.

Could you please review my suggestions, and if ok, please include into 
your git commit.

Warm regards,
Cameron Shorter

.. Cameron comment: istsos-logo image size is currently 600x140. It should be made smaller. Ideally it should be made into a square, 125x125, but at the very least should be a max height of 125 pixels. See https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Add_Project#Logo . Personally, I really like the round graph image which is inside the "O" of SOS. It is cool and square, and I think would be really good as the icon for istSOS. What do you think?

istSOS
================================================================================

Data Management Tool
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

istSOS is sensor data management tool that allows collection, maintenance and publishing of monitoring observations using the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Sensor Observation Service (SOS) standard.

.. Cameron comment: screenshot_istsos.png image size is currently 1852x1008 and is too big, it should be 1024x768, and captured from 1024x768 screen size. See https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Add_Project#Screen_Shot . The URL should be put into ../../images/screenshots/1024x768/screenshot_istsos.png

istSOS strictly implements the SOS 1.0.0 standard, and has passed the OGC CITE (Compliance + Interopability Testing + Evaluation) units tests.

Core Features
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Publish sensor data in accordance with the Sensor Observation Service (SOS) standard.
* Administer sensors and your data with an intuitive interface.
* Use a complete RestFul API to access istSOS functionality from external clients.
* Get notified through mail, twitter or other social when your sensor data meet specific conditions.
* Secure different access levels (administrator, network manager, data manager and visitor).
* Create virtual procedures that look like normal stations but whose data result from on-the-fly elaboration of other sensor data.
* Associate quality indexes to each observation thanks to embedded validation tests.
* Edit your data with a seamless interface and advanced observation calculator.

Implemented Standards
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* SOS 1.0.0: Basic and Transactional profiles
