Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present the successes and failures of the OGC Sensor Observation Service (SOS) implementation, as required by the INSPIRE download service. In this case, the service operates on hydrological data collected from the website of the National Hydrological and Meteorological Service.
Among other things, data mapping and the use of 52°North SOS 4.x specification were discussed, and solutions to problems occurring during implementation were also explained.
