Hi all, The Oceans IE report is available here: http://www.oostethys.org/outreach/working_folder/ogcreport/ogc-oie-20080822.pdf/It presented WFS VS SOS comparison and it also says, among other things that O&M model is a conceptual model that could help harmonize ocean data, and this is one of the key benefits of SOS. I don't think, as Simon says, that the focus is on the sensor; however SOS brings to the table the ability to provide sensor and deployment metadata.
I look forward to the next OGC meeting. Also what John suggested is key. If we could track the issues and start discussing them via email, we will definitely advance the discussion.

Roy - I disagree that SOS puts the focus on the sensor.An SOS request is framed in terms of the feature-of-interest (in your case either the ocean or a sampling-feature, such as a swath, related to the ocean) and the observed-property (e.g. temperature). Yes, you can use SOS to approach the observations via knowledge of the identity of the sensor, but this is not required.Simon
