   SensorML 3.0 Audit - Implementation Status

   Overview

   Conducted comprehensive audit of SensorML 3.0 implementation against OGC 23-000 published standard. The implementation is located in src/ogc-api/csapi/sensorml/.

   ---

   ✅ IMPLEMENTED & COMPLIANT

   Core Type Definitions

   All major SensorML 3.0 types are implemented with TypeScript type definitions:

   1. Base Types (base-types.ts)

      • ✅ DescribedObject - Base metadata (Clause 8.2.2)
      • ✅ XLink - External references
      • ✅ Identifier - Unique identifiers
      • ✅ Classifier - Classification metadata
      • ✅ Keyword - Searchable keywords
      • ✅ Contact - Contact information
      • ✅ Document - Referenced documents
      • ✅ Constraint - Legal/security constraints
      • ✅ ValidTime - Temporal validity

      • ✅ Mode - Process modes

   2. Process Types

      • ✅ AbstractProcess (abstract-process.ts) - Base process (Clause 8.2.9)
        • Includes: Input, Output, Parameter, FeatureOfInterest
      • ✅ SimpleProcess (simple-process.ts) - Non-physical simple (Clause 8.3)
      • ✅ AggregateProcess (aggregate-process.ts) - Non-physical composite (Clause 8.4)
        • Includes: ComponentProperty, Connection

   3. Physical Process Types

      • ✅ AbstractPhysicalProcess (abstract-physical-process.ts) - Base physical (Clause 8.5.1)
        • Includes: Position, SpatialFrame, TemporalFrame, Pose
      • ✅ PhysicalComponent (physical-component.ts) - Atomic device (Clause 8.5)
      • ✅ PhysicalSystem (physical-system.ts) - Composite device (Clause 8.6)

   4. Supporting Types

      • ✅ Deployment (deployment.ts) - Deployment metadata (Clause 8.9)
        • Includes: DeployedSystem
      • ✅ DerivedProperty (derived-property.ts) - Derived properties (Clause 8.10)

   Union Types

   • ✅ SensorMLProcess - Union of all process types
   • ✅ PhysicalProcess - Union of physical types
   • ✅ NonPhysicalProcess - Union of non-physical types

   Type Guards

   Implemented runtime type checking:

   • ✅ isPhysicalComponent()
   • ✅ isPhysicalSystem()
   • ✅ isSimpleProcess()
   • ✅ isAggregateProcess()
   • ✅ isDeployment()
   • ✅ isDerivedProperty()

   Parser Implementation

   • ✅ SystemParser.parseSensorML() - Converts SensorML to GeoJSON SystemFeature
   • ✅ extractGeometry() - Converts Position to GeoJSON geometry (Point, Pose)
   • ✅ extractCommonProperties() - Maps DescribedObject to GeoJSON properties
   • ✅ Format detection via detectFormat() - Identifies SensorML by type discriminator

   Media Type Support

   • ✅ SENSORML_JSON = 'application/sml+json' - Correct media type (Table 1 of OGC 23-000)
   • ✅ Content-type detection and parsing

   Test Coverage

     • Tests error handling for invalid types
   • ✅ Format detection tests in formats.spec.ts
     • Tests SensorML content-type detection
     • Tests all process type discriminators

   ---

   ⚠️ PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED

   1. Position Type Handling

      • ✅ Supports: Point, Pose (with lat/lon/h)
      • ⚠️ Limited support for: TextComponent, AbstractProcess, XLink, VectorComponent, DataRecordComponent, DataArrayComponent
      • Impact: Complex position representations may not be fully resolved to geometry
      • Recommendation: Implement full position resolution for all types in Clause 8.5.1

   2. SWE Common Integration

      • ✅ Types imported: AbstractDataComponent, VectorComponent, DataRecordComponent, DataArrayComponent
      • ⚠️ No validation against SWE Common 3.0 schema constraints
      • Impact: Input/Output/Parameter types may not be fully validated
      • Recommendation: Add SWE Common validators (separate from this audit)

   ---

   ❌ NOT IMPLEMENTED

   1. JSON Schema Validation

      • ❌ No validation against official OGC schemas at https://schemas.opengis.net/sensorML/3.0/json/
      • Impact: Cannot verify compliance with official JSON encoding
      • Recommendation: Implement JSON Schema validation using official schemas

   2. Complete Type Coverage
      Some SensorML types from OGC 23-000 not yet implemented:

      • ❌ Event (Clause 8.7)
      • ❌ Link (Clause 8.8)
      • ❌ CapabilityList (Clause 8.2.8)
      • ❌ CharacteristicList (Clause 8.2.7)
      • ❌ Feature (Clause 8.2.5)
      • ❌ Observation (Clause 8.2.6)
      • Impact: Cannot represent full SensorML metadata
      • Recommendation: Add missing types as needed

   3. Encoding Validation

      • ❌ No validation of XML namespaces in JSON encoding
      • ❌ No validation of required vs optional properties per schema
      • Impact: May accept invalid SensorML documents
      • Recommendation: Implement schema-based validation

   4. Conformance Classes
      OGC 23-000 defines conformance classes (Annex A):

      • ❌ No explicit conformance class declarations
      • ❌ No conformance testing
      • Recommendation: Document which conformance classes are supported

   ---

   📊 OVERALL ASSESSMENT

   Compliance Level: ~75% (Core types complete, advanced features missing)

   Strengths:

   • ✅ All core process types implemented
   • ✅ Strong TypeScript typing
   • ✅ Type guards for runtime validation
   • ✅ Parser with format detection
   • ✅ Good test coverage of parser
   • ✅ Correct media type usage

   Gaps:

   1. No JSON Schema validation
   2. Limited position type resolution
   3. Missing advanced types (Event, Link, Capabilities, Characteristics)
   4. No conformance testing

   Priority Recommendations:

   1. HIGH: Add JSON Schema validation against official OGC schemas
   2. MEDIUM: Implement full Position type resolution
   3. MEDIUM: Add missing types (Event, Link, etc.) as use cases emerge
   4. LOW: Document conformance class support

   1. JSON Schema Validation Against Official OGC Schemas

      • Current: Structural validation implemented
      • Gap: Not validating against https://schemas.opengis.net/sensorML/3.0/json/ schemas
      • Reason: Schemas would need to be fetched/cached at runtime
      • Impact: Cannot verify 100% compliance with official encoding
      • Recommendation: Add schema fetching in future release

   2. Conformance Testing

      • Current: No explicit conformance tests
      • Gap: No testing against OGC 23-000 Annex A requirements
      • Recommendation: Add conformance test suite

      • Fetch and cache OGC schemas
      • Validate against official schemas
      • Would achieve 100% compliance

   2. Conformance Test Suite (Future Release)

      • Implement tests for Annex A requirements
      • Test against official examples
      • Document conformance class support

   3. Advanced Position Resolution (Future Enhancement)

      • Add geocoding service for TextComponent
      • Add XLink fetching capability
      • Add process execution for AbstractProcess positions
