O&M in GEOSS ADC

Summary

“It is recommended to adopt a framework based on O&M (e.g. in tasks AR-09-02c 'Sensor Web Enablement for In-Situ Observing Network Facilitation' and AR-09-01a 'Enabling Deployment of a GEOSS Architecture')”

Classification

Category	Data harmonisation and semantic interoperability
Identifier	REC-OM-007
Type of recommended activity	Further investigation about the subject
Organisations addressed	GEOSS Architecture and Data Committee

Additional information

Context	See below
Rationale	The more closely integrated is O&M within the GEOSS architecture, the simpler will be the task of registering new services and components also conforming to O&M; since O&M provides a very general and powerful model it will drive interoperability at the provider level.
Dependencies	Work is currently underway (e.g. within the Architecture Interoperability Pilot coordinated by OGC) towards refining the GEOSS architecture. Ideally there would be the opportunity to encourage participants to adopt approaches using O&M.
