We are a community of software developers and marine
scientists who develop open source tools to integrate ocean
observing systems. Our goal is to dramatically reduce the time it
takes to install, adopt and update standards-compliant Web
services.
We test and develop our software with an open-access
interoperability test bed. Our end-to-end "system of systems"
includes over 1000 platforms with real-time data, and it’s
growing fast. If you install one of our reference implementations,
or if you have your own Sensor Observation Service, we
encourage you to register it in the system.
In 2010, there will be 10,000 telemetric devices for
every human in the planet (prediction by Ernst
and Young).
We believe that standards enable innovation, so we work directly with standards organizations. At the Open Geospatial
Consortium, we initiated an Oceans Interoperability Experiment so we could advance the OGC Sensor Web Enablement
initiative. We just finished Phase I and we are in process of starting Phase II, so stay tuned.

Improving understanding of coastal phenomena
requires an IT infrastructure to bring heterogeneous
information to decision support tools.

We are developing OGC Sensor Observation Service (SOS)
reference implementations to help you get an SOS installed easily
and quickly on a web server. The following applications are
available. Contact each leader if you want to join us.
