Sensor web is a type of sensor network that heavily utilizes the World Wide Web and is especially suited for environmental monitoring. [1] [2] [3] OGC's Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) framework defines a suite of web service interfaces and communication protocols abstracting from the heterogeneity of sensor (network) communication. [4]

Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) is a suite of standards developed and maintained by Open Geospatial Consortium. [1] SWE standards enable developers to make all types of sensors, transducers and sensor data repositories discoverable, accessible and usable via the Web.

Mar 17, 2009 · The Sensor Web provides an infrastructure that supports the vision of an integrated system of sensor systems or individual sensors, providing access to sensors, sensor networks, and corresponding observational datasets.

This OGC White Paper provides a high-level overview of and architecture for the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards activities that focus on sensors, sensor networks, and a concept called the “Sensor Web”. This OGC focus area is known as Sensor Web Enablement (SWE).

Traditionally, Sensor Web is defined as a web of interconnected heterogeneous sensors that are interoperable, intelligent, dynamic, flexible and scalable. This definition implies that a sensor Web is a hardware network of sensors. Alternatively, the Sensor Web can be defined as a universe of network-accessible sensors, sensory data and information.

The Semantic Sensor Web (SSW) is a marriage of sensor web and semantic Web technologies. The encoding of sensor descriptions and sensor observation data with Semantic Web languages enables more expressive representation, advanced access, and formal analysis of …

The Sensor Web Project uses a network of sensors linked by software and the internet to an autonomous satellite observation response capability. This system of systems is designed with a flexible, modular, architecture to facilitate expansion in sensors, customization of trigger conditions, and customization of responses.

Sensors provide the input that allows humans and machines to make decisions about reasonable actions. This web site is dedicated to providing information and support for the SensorML (Sensor Model Language) international standard, as well as the other Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) standards.

Jul 14, 2002 · The Sensor Web is a macro-instrument concept that allows for the spatiotemporal understanding of an environment through coordinated efforts between multiple numbers and types of sensing platforms, including both orbital and terrestrial and both fixed and mobile.

SensorWare Systems, Inc. has taken Sensor Web technology, invented at NASA and originally developed to search for extraterrestrial life, and brought it back down to earth as an intelligent sensor infrastructure for real-time monitoring and resource management.
