DO you have anything on this @KathiSchleidt or shall I

• close,
• else tag 'future edition'.

@dr-shorthair apologies for being distracted recently, some other projects snowballed.

What are the requirements here? STA is definitely aligned with OMS, and widely used.

• To my memory, the agreement was that we align SOSA with OMS, STA is already aligned with OMS, all is good. Or do you now want an explicit SOSA to STA alignment, for those who can't follow the SOSA -> OMS -> STA chain?
• As for examples:
  • EU Air Quality: https://airquality-frost.k8s.ilt-dmz.iosb.fraunhofer.de/v1.1
  • French and German Water Quality/Quantity Data:
    • https://sensorthings.brgm-rec.fr/SensorThingsGroundWater/v1.0
    • https://iddata.eaufrance.fr/api/stapiHydrometry/
    • https://sensorthings-wq.brgm-rec.fr/FROST-Server/v1.0
    • https://lubw.k8s.ilt-dmz.iosb.fraunhofer.de/v1.1
  • Hamburg Smart City Sensors: https://iot.hamburg.de/v1.1

Given that

• we have in this spec alignment with OMS
• we have OMS-ST API alignment in ST API

I have the feeling this is covered.

=> suggestion : what about just adding such a sentence in the spec ? indeed, quite a compact alignment module, but that's a valuable info for the reader I feel

Thanks @sgrellet
I'm looking in the STA standards for the reference to OMS.
I can find ref to O&M v2.0 here: https://docs.ogc.org/is/18-088/18-088.html#observations-measurements
But not to OMS (O&M v3.0).

Is it in one of the other STA documents https://www.ogc.org/standards/sensorthings/ ?

@dr-shorthair it's in the new version (2.0) of the OGC SensorThings API Part 1: Sensing spec that just received it's OK from OGC vote last week
The official OGC spec should arrive soon I hope.

So far we have this link to the draft version of V2.0 : https://hylkevds.github.io/23-019/23-019.html#observations-measurements

@hylkevds : can provide more details
