A reference implementation is a fully functional implementation of a specification in reference to which other implementations can be evaluated. The OGC provides open source reference implementations to ensure maximum transparency of its specifications for both vendors and customers. OGC reference implementations are provided as-is, with no implied or explicit warranty from the OGC or implementation creators. The OGC does certify that these implementations are compliant with their respective specifications.

Sensor Observation Service 1.0

• Developed by: 52North
• Product Name: 52° North Sensor Observation Service 3.1.1
• License: Dual: GNU GPL v2.0 and Commercial

52North' Sensor Web community focuses on the development of a broad range of services and encoding implementations related to Sensor Web Enablement (SWE).

The community is intensively involved in the standardization process of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), which will ensure a sustainable development. OGC's Sensor Web Enablement initiative aims at standardizing the entire sensor web process: description of sensors and the setup of sensor and measurement registries, discovery and sensor tasking mechanisms, and access of data observed by sensors.
