[UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] SOS disconnect

[Charlton Purvis]

Hi, all:

I have been pouring over the SOS how to as well as scouring the listserv
posts in order to take a working WFS and turn at least part of it into SOS.
WFS returns a row nicely.

http://sos-web.tamu.edu/sos-cgi/madis?service=wfs&request=getfeature&version
=1.0.0&typename=ndbc_44029&Filter=<Filter><PropertyIsEqualTo><PropertyName>s
ensor</PropertyName><Literal>sea_surface_temperature</Literal></PropertyIsEq
ualTo></Filter>

The SOS part of the .map is:

  LAYER
    NAME ndbc_44029_sea_surface_temperature
    PROJECTION
      "init=epsg:4269"
    END
    CONNECTIONTYPE POSTGIS
    CONNECTION "blah"
    DATA "the_geom from (select * from top_obs where
platform_handle='ndbc_44029' and sensor = 'sea_surface_temperature') as foo
USING UNIQUE row_id USING SRID=-1"
    TYPE POINT
    STATUS OFF
    METADATA
      "sos_procedure"            "ndbc_44029"
      "sos_procedure_item"       "m_value"
      "sos_offering_id"          "ndbc_44029_sea_surface_temperature"
      "sos_observedproperty_id"  "sea_surface_temperature"
      "sos_describesensor_url"
"http://mesonet.tamu.edu/cpurvis/sos/ndbc_44029_sea_surface_temperature.xml";
      "sos_srs"                  "init=epsg:4269"
    END
  END

It's not clear to me how to actually return data.  Shouldn't I be able to
see something if I hit this URL?
http://sos-web.tamu.edu/sos-cgi/madis?service=sos&request=GetObservation&ver
sion=0.0.31&offering=ndbc_44029_sea_surface_temperature&format=application/c
om-xml&observedProperty=sea_surface_temperature  Well, I do see something,
but I don't see the actual data.  And it should be coming from a column
called m_value.

The describe sensor URL I essentially stole from a friend since his buoy is
the same as the one I'm pulling from NDBC.

Is there some controlling mechanism that says, hey, here is my data in
MapServer land, and here is how it needs to spit out in SOS land?  This same
data is being serviced by another SOS flavor (not MapServer), and it returns
a field like this:

<om:result>
2007-07-03T20:04:00Z,42.5,-70.5999984741211,0.0,289.950012207031
</om:result>

And that's what I want!  I can see it in my WFS, but I want to SOS-ercise
it.

Thanks in advance,

Charlton
