OpenSensorHub allows for vertical and horizontal integration of systems where multiple OpenSensorHub enabled systems can be deployed and configured to share data. This can allow for vertical or horizontal integration to provide a network and hierarchy of systems, if needed, configurable to meet the desired objectives. OpenSensorHub allows for two distinct methods for such integration: SOS-T (Sensor Observation Service – Transactional) or Sensor Web Enablement Virtual Sensors. SOS-T allows for a push mechanism directly from sensors with network connectivity to an OpenSensorHub instance or for a “local” OpenSensorHub instance to push a sensor’s description and observations to a “remote” instance of OpenSensorHub. SWE Virtual Sensors, on the other hand, allow for a pull type mechanism where an instance of OpenSensorHub is configured to mirror one or more sensors on a remote instance of OpenSensorHub. To clients connecting with their “local” instance of OpenSensorHub the fact that the sensor is actually hosted and managed by a “remote” instance is of no consequence.
