The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC®) membership has voted to approve the OGC Observations and Measurements (O&M) – XML Encoding Standard as an official OGC standard.

This encoding is an
essential dependency for the OGC Sensor Observation Service (SOS) Interface Standard.

These provide document models for the exchange of information describing observation acts and their results, both within and between different scientific and technical communities. Read More
