Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 

Are composite phenomena used as observedProperty's in an SOS request legal?

Yes. A pre-defined set of composite phenomena (likely limited to winds, 
currents and waves) will be defined in the IOOS MMI parameter vocabulary. Each 
service provider will choose whether to support composite phenomena (and 
advertise it accordingly in GetCapabilities), and what individual scalar 
properties map to each composite phenomena. This mapping will be a subset of 
mappings to be defined on MMI.

No expectation is placed on service providers to support composite phenomena. 
This will be an optional capability.

See Issue 20 (http://code.google.com/p/ioostech/issues/detail?id=20) for 
related details on the GetObservation response to a composite phenomenon 
request.
