Build a map client

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.
