Carl,
Thanks! Your information is very timely and will help
us coordinate the existing sensor work in many areas.

for Sensor Nets (Webs) for use in EM, I though the following would be useful
information.
The OGC has interoperability initiatives that we call Testbeds. In these
initiatives, "sponsors" express requirements for interoperability and
"particpants" work with the requirements to either enhance existing OGC
specifications or develop new interface specifications. These testbeds are rapid
engineering situations and allow the OGC members to more quickly and effectively
define and develop interfaces and encodings.
The current OWS-3 testbed (http://www.opengeospatial.org/initiatives/?iid=162
) has many interoperability threads. One is on Sensor Web Enablement. The
description is:
=====================
OGC Sensor Web Enablement
The Sensor Web subtask will mature the existing set of SWE work items to enable the federation of sensors, platforms and management infrastructure into a single sensor enterprise. This enterprise will enable the discovery and tasking of sensors as well as the delivery of sensor measurements regardless of sensor type and controlling organization. The ultimate vision is of a sensor market place where users can identify, evaluate, select and request a sensor collection regardless of sensor type, platform or owner. The OGC Sensor Web Enablement framework has achieved a reasonable degree of maturity over the past two OWS interoperability initiatives (OWS-1 and OWS-2). At the same time, related efforts have been underway within the IEEE, Defense and Homeland Security communities. OWS-3 will integrate these complementary activities and develop a framework of standards and design patterns for building nationwide sensor networks. Sponsors of the OWS-3 SWE thread have two primary goals. First of all, the sponsors have multiple, independent sensor and sensor support systems. It is their desire to integrate these systems allowing users to reach-out, access and use any sensor and any system. The second goal is to enable a "plug-and-play" sensor framework. There are existing specifications that enable plug-and-play, specifically IEEE 1451 and TransducerML. Integration of those specifications into the SWE framework would achieve that goal.
