Overview

The OGC SensorThings API provides an open, geospatial-enabled and unified way to interconnect the Internet of Things (IoT) devices, data, and applications over the Web. At a high level the OGC SensorThings API provides two main functionalities and each function is handled by a part. The two parts are the Sensing part and the Tasking part. The Sensing part provides a standard way to manage and retrieve observations and metadata from heterogeneous IoT sensor systems. The Tasking part is defined in a separate document as Part 2 of the SensorThings API.

The OGC SensorThings API Extension: STAplus 1.0 Standard specifies a backwards-compatible extension to the OGC Standard SensorThings API Part 1: Sensing and Sensing 1.1 data model.
