This OGC Engineering Report documents the work performed by the participants of the Ocean Science Interoperability Experiment Phase II.

This OGC Engineering Report documents the work performed by the participants of the Ocean Science Interoperability Experiment Phase II. This work is a follow-on to the OGC Oceans IE Phase 1 activity. Specifically, this IE addressed the following tasks: • Automated metadata/software installation via PUCK protocol. • Offering of complex systems (e.g. observations systems containing other systems) such as collection of stations. • Linking data from SOS to out-of-band offerings. • Semantic Registry and Services. • Catalogue Service-Web Registry. • IEEE-1451/OGC-SWE harmonization As a result of this experiment, a number of recommendations and conclusions were identified.
