OOSTethys is a provider-to-user data systems framework, using interoperable standards, enabling discovery and use of data. OOSTethys will allow to:

• Deliver ocean observations to a range of consumers, utilizing a common standard specification.
• Establish a robust data exchange that is not bound to any tool and adheres with the best practices of geospatial communities.

• Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) effort from the Open Geospatial Consortium (). OOSTethys allows a data provider to setup an OGC Sensor Observation Service (SOS) with minimal effort. An SOS is a web service that allows observation systems to publish their service capabilities, the metadata of their sensors and platforms and their data. OOSTethys provides cookbooks in Perl, Python and JAVA supporting the latest OGC Schemas.
• Semantic Web effort from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). We use semantic mediation services to provide semantic interoperability among the data providers and discovery controlled vocabularies from web portals and registries.
