Abstract:
The document is structured in six sections.
The first section contains the document purpose, structure, some abbreviations, acronyms and a list of figures.
Section 2 gives an introduction of the SANY sensor model. To characterize the role of sensors in the observation process, first some terms are defined. Finally a short summary of the main characterizations of SANY sensors is given.
Section 3 contains a taxonomy of the SANY sensor which describes the information about sensors required by an overlying sensor network system. The taxonomy covers the aspects
Sensor identifiers
Sensor measurement capability
Data output
Data transfer
Diagnostics
Data processing
Power supply
Quality
Sensor localization concept
Sensor internal time concept
Section 4 shows the investigation results whether the taxonomy is covered by OGC SensorML and derives some main conclusions.
Section 5 lists some references and section 6 is an appendix with some examples and references of SensorML coding the elements of the SANY sensor taxonomy.
