OOSTethys - May 2007

The OGC Oceans Interoperability Experiment is now running inside OOSTethys, leveraging the OOSTethys participants, web site and tools. The Perl cookbook was expanded to cover several additional data types and the OpenIOOS visualizations were updated as well. A prototype web based plotter was created by Bill Howe. The first experiment was defined for the OGC Oceans IE to initially compare the capabilities of OGC Web Feature Services and Sensor Observation Service for accessing point data as well as historical and time-series data.

We have merged the OGC Oceans Interoperability Experiment activities into the OOSTethys project in order to leverage the team, software, and servers for the Oceans IE. This means that we will be pushing forward with the OGC related portions of the OOSTethys project within the context of the Oceans IE, but will continue the work on non-OGC related work (e.g. vocabularies, semantic mediation, etc.) as well.

Eric Bridger enhanced the Perl cookbook to cover all of the data types in use by GoMOOS. The enhanced cookbook was implemented at the University of New Hampshire to make their extended list of data types available through the OOSTethys.org web site.

A prototype web based plotter was created by Bill Howe. This plots time-series data for any OOSTethys-compatible SOS server. This service can be seen at http://www.stccmop.org/node/468.
