An Observation is an action whose result is an estimate of the value
of some property of the feature-of-interest, obtained using a specified procedure

Why JSON?
OGC - SWE DWG - 2015-09-16
“So these days, if you want to
interchange tuples or tables of tuples
or numbers and strings, you have
JSON. If you want to do nontrivial
publishing automation, use XML. If
you want to interchange smart bitmaps
of page images, there’s PDF. I
personally think we’re probably done
with inventing low-level textual
interchange formats.”

JSON Schema for OM-JSON
OGC - SWE DWG - 2015-09-16
Common types, for
use in other OGC
JSON encodings?
JSON-schema for
TimeseriesML
Collection objects,
carry common
properties
No external
dependencies

JSON Schema and validator
• Adapted version of JSON Schema Lint here:
http://waterml2.csiro.au/om-json/
• JSON Schema available here:

Issues
This encoding focuses on the information model
How best to wrap these for use in API/Services?
E.g. using SOS (52North), SensorThings, SensorCloud (CSIRO)
Some (minor) differences in approaches to schema inheritance and
typing.
The 52North schema are quite similar and these could be harmonised
OGC - SWE DWG - 2015-09-16

Changes required to Abstract Spec (O&M)
add samplingStrategy to Observation
featureOfInterest used only for the feature with observed property
ObservationCollection, for common properties of member observations
procedure, featureOfInterest, samplingStrategy, observedProperty, phenomenonTime,
resultTime
add samplingElevation to Specimen
vertical offset from a 2-D location a common requirement
SamplingFeatureCollection, for common properties of member sampling features
sampledFeature

Motion:
The SWE DWG recommends that OM-JSON – OGC 15-100r1 – be
published as an OGC Discussion Paper

OGC - SWE DWG - 2015-09-16

Discussion points
JSON Schema?
base types for OGC JSON implementations
52North version of JSON for SOS
OM-JSON vs SensorThings
use of GeoJSON for geometry, alternatives
UMLJSON rules
