OGC API – Connected Systems<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The OGC API\u2009\u2014\u2009Connected Systems Standard (aka \u201cthis Standard\u201d or \u201cCS API\u201d) specifies the fundamental API building blocks for interacting with Connected Systems and associated resources. A Connected System represents any kind of system that can either directly transmit data via communication networks (being connected to them in a permanent or temporary fashion), or whose data is made available in one form or another via such networks. This definition encompasses systems of all kinds, including in-situ and remote sensors, actuators, fixed and mobile platforms, airborne and space-borne systems, robots and drones, and even humans who collect data or execute specific tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

OGC API – Connected Systems is intended to act as a bridge between static data (geographic and other domain features) and dynamic data (observations of these feature properties, and commands\/actuations that change these feature properties). \u201cPart 1 \u2014 Feature Resources\u201d defines resource types and encodings for providing metadata about systems and their deployments, as well as the procedures and sampling strategies used by these systems. Resource types defined in Part 1 are modeled on concepts from the Semantic Sensor Network Ontology (SOSA\/SSN). \u201cPart 2 \u2014 Dynamic Data\u201d defines additional resource types and encodings that implement the SSN concepts needed for exchanging dynamic data related to the features defined in Part 1. It defines efficient ways of encoding this dynamic (time-varying) information (including observations, commands and system events), and mechanisms allowing bi-directional streaming of real-time data as well as access to historical data. Part 2 also defines a snapshot mechanism for dynamic feature properties.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
