InsertObservation

Introduction

The InsertObservation operation allows the client to insert new observations for a sensor system. This is a request to an SOS to perform the Insert operation. The request includes the sensor ID that was obtained from the RegisterSensor operation. The observation must be encoded in XML following the O&M specification. InsertObservation is mandatory for the transactional profile. (SOS-Spec, OGC 06-009r6)
