Sensor Web Enablement
Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) is a suite of standard encodings and web services that enable:
- Discovery of sensors, processes, and observations
- Tasking of sensors or models
- Access to observations and observation streams
- Publish-subscribe capabilities for alerts
- Robust sensor system and process descriptions
This is the home page for the OGC Sensor Web Enablement user pages. From here you should be able to access additional information on SWE in the form of tutorials and cookbooks, examples and best practices, lists of example applications, listing of SWE-related events, links to open-source and commercial software supporting SWE, and links to additional web sites supporting SWE.
