Build a map client

by OOSTethys — last modified 2007-08-21 21:17

HOWTO make a web-based mapping client as implemented with OpenIOOS.org and displayed on OOSTethys.org

  • Sensor network feeds observations to DATA PROVIDER (an OOS system such as GoMOOS)
  • Data Provider installs SOS software and registers URL with OOSTethys REGISTRY (or catalog) (for this project, the catalog is at UAH)
  • Data Provider sensor observations become discoverable to the OOSTethys DATA AGGREGATOR (OpenIOOS)
  • OOSTethys CLIENT runs GetProviders and GetCapabilities processes every hour to generate current map of active data providers and the observations that are available.
  • Map is generated and displayed on DATA ANALYZER and VIEWER (OpenIOOS.org)
  • End user clicks point on map at http://www.openioos.org, DescribeSensor and GetObservation process is kicked off and current sensor metadata and observation is returned to user.
