Abstract
Similar to the original SSO, SOSA acts as a central building block for the SSN but puts more emphasis on light-weight use and the ability to be used standalone. See more...
Audience
SOSA is added as a core, and is also useful as a standalone ontology targeting Web developers, citizen science, lightweight Linked Data publishing, resource-constraint IoT devices, data intensive applications (with the possibility of using lightweight reasoning), and so on. See more...

Description*
This ontology is based on the SSN Ontology by the W3C Semantic Sensor Networks Incubator Group (SSN-XG), together with considerations from the W3C/OGC Spatial Data on the Web Working Group. See more...

Notes
The initial W3C Semantic Sensor Network Incubator Group ontology (SSN) was built around an ontology design pattern called the Stimulus Sensor Observation (SSO) pattern [SSO-Pattern]. The SSO was developed as a minimal and common ground for heavy-weight ontologies for the use on the Semantic Sensor Web as well as to explicitly address the need for light-weight semantics requested by the Linked Data community. The SSO was also aligned to the Dolce-Ultralite upper ontology (DUL). See more...
