TimeseriesML 1.0 is implemented as an application schema of the Geography Markup Language version 3.3, making use of the OGC Observations & Measurements standards. TimeseriesML 1.0 is designed as an extensible schema to allow encoding of data to be used in a variety of exchange scenarios. Example areas of usage are: cross-border exchange of observational data; release of data for public dissemination; enhancing disaster management through data exchange; and exchange in support of national reporting. The core aspect of the Timeseries Profile of Observations and Measurements is the correct, precise description of timeseries. This document defines an implementation of this profile. 2.    Conformance This standard defines an XML encoding standard for the OGC Timeseries Profile of Observations and Measurements [OGC 15-043r3. Conformance with this standard shall be checked using all the relevant tests specified in Annex A (normative) of this document. The framework, concepts, and methodology for testing, and the criteria to be achieved to claim conformance are specified in the OGC Compliance Testing Policies and Procedures and the OGC Compliance Testing web site [1] . In order to conform to this OGC® interface standard, a software implementation shall choose to implement: Any one of the conformance classes specified in Annex A (normative). All requirements-classes and conformance-classes described in this document are owned by the standard(s) identified. 3.    References The following normative documents contain provisions that, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this document.

In particular, the word “shall” (not “must”) is the verb form used to indicate a requirement to be strictly followed to conform to this standard. For the purpose of this document, the following additional terms and definitions apply: 4.1 Coverage Feature that acts as a function to return values from its range for any direct position within its spatial, temporal or spatiotemporal domain [ISO 19123:2005, definition 4.17] 4.2 Domain Feature Feature of a type defined within a particular application domain [ISO 19156, definition 4.4] 4.3 Feature Abstraction of real-world phenomena [ISO 19101:2002, definition 4.11] 4.4 Observation Act of observing a property [ISO 19156, definition 4.10] 4.5 Observation Procedure Method, algorithm or instrument, or system of these which may be used in making an observation [ISO 19156, definition 4.11] 4.6 Property <General Feature Model> Facet or attribute of an object referenced by a name EXAMPLE: Abby’s car has the color red where “color red” is a property of the car instance 4.7 Sampling Feature Feature, such as a station, transect, section or specimen, which is involved in making observations concerning a domain feature [ISO 19156, definition 4.16] 4.8 Sensor Type of observation procedure that provides the estimated value of an observed property at its output Note: A sensor uses a combination of physical, chemical or biological means in order to estimate the underlying observed property. At the end of the measuring chain electronic devices often produce signals to be processed [OGC SWE Common 2.0, definition 4.5.] 4.9 Timeseries Sequence of data values which are ordered in time. Note: The sequence typically records (or predicts) the value of a property of a feature over a time interval, with interim values at times within the interval. These times are monotonic and are often, but not always, at regular intervals (e.g. an hourly timeseries). 5.    Conventions 5.1    Abbreviated Terms In this document the following abbreviations and acronyms are used or introduced: GMLCOV      OGC Implementation Schema for Coverages ISO                  International Organization for Standardization O&M              Observations and Measurements OGC               Open Geospatial Consortium SensorML       Sensor Model Language SWE                Sensor Web Enablement TSML             TimeseriesML TVP                Time-Value Pair UML               Unified Modeling Language UTC                Coordinated Universal Time XML               Extensible Markup Language 5.2    UML Notation The diagrams that appear in this standard are presented using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) static structure diagram. Note: Within the context of this profile, the following color scheme is used to identify the package in which the class exists. This is just for informative purposes. Blue: Defined within the Timeseries Profile of O&M (conceptual model) Yellow: Defined within this standard (XML implementation model) Green: ISO19156 – Observations & Measurements Red: Other (ISO or GML) 5.3    Finding Requirements and Recommendations This standard is identified as http://www.opengis.net/spec/tsml/1.0 . For clarity, each normative statement in this standard is in one and only one place and defined within a requirements class table and identified with a URI, whose root is the standard’s URI. In this standard, all requirements are associated to tests in the abstract test suite in Annex A using the URL of the requirement as the reference identifier. Requirements classes are separated into their own clauses and named, and specified according to inheritance (direct dependencies). The Conformance test classes in the test suite are similarly named to establish an explicit and mnemonic link between requirements classes and conformance test classes. 6.    XML Implementation (normative) In addition to the UML conceptual model this standard defines a GML XML Schema implementation that is compliant to the UML conceptual model. The XML Schemas for this implementation are published at: http://schemas.opengis.net/tsml/1.0/ Schematron patterns are implemented for some requirements where appropriate and are published at the same location. 6.1    XML encoding principles The following principles apply to data encoded according to the TimeseriesML 1.0 XML schema. 6.1.1    Conformance to GML 3.3 encoding rules for codelists This XML Schema implementation imports the OGC GML 3.2.1 schemas. However codelists are implemented according to the clarified rules for codelists in the OGC GML 3.3 standard. Namely that items in codelists are referred to using gml:ReferenceType and not encoded with gml:CodeType. None of the GML 3.3 schema types are used in this implementation and therefore only GML 3.2.1 schemas are imported by the TimeseriesML 1.0 XML schemas. This is consistent with the note in the GML 3.3 standard which reads: A GML application schema conforming to this standard will import the GML 3.2 schema plus zero or more additional GML 3.3 schemas as needed. 6.1.2    Extends the OGC Implementation Schema for Coverages The TimeseriesML schema supports both an interleaved time-value pair encoding and a domain, range encoding. The domain, range encoding inherits from the coverage schema defined in the OGC Implementation Schema for Coverages 1.0.1 (09-146r2). The interleaved timeseries encoding is a representation of a special case of the CV_DiscreteCoverage class from OGC Abstract Specification Topic 6, in which each GeometryValuePair has a ‘geometry’ which is a timestamp, and a ‘value’ which is a measure or other simple datatype. The OGC Coverage Implementation Schema 1.1 (CIS 1.1) candidate standard [2] provides alternative representations of coverages, including an option for interleaving coverages, which can be useful for timeseries of more complex values. Note that OGC Implementation Schema for Coverages 1.0.1 was formerly known as ‘GMLCOV’ and is sometimes still referred to in that way. 6.1.3    Virtual typing In accordance with OMXML, the specialization of the OM_Observation result type is provided through schematron restriction. The om:type element may be used to specify the type of OM_Observation that is being encoded. This shall be done using the OGC Name URI for the corresponding type from the following table. Table : O&M URIs for observation specializations TimeseriesML 1.0 OGC Name Content of om:result in TimeseriesML 1.0 XML MeasurementTimeseriesTVPObservation http://www.opengis.net/def/observationType/timeseriesML/1.0/MeasurementTimeseriesTVPObservation type= ’tsml:Timeseries' result.value = 'tsml:MeasurementTVP' CategoricalTimeseriesTVPObservation http://www.opengis.net/def/observationType/timeseriesML/1.0/CategoricalTimeseriesTVPObservation type= ’tsml:Timeseries’ result.value = 'tsml:CategoricalTVP' MeasurementTimeseriesDomainRangeObservation http://www.opengis.net/def/observationType/timeseriesML/1.0/MeasurementTimeseriesDomainRangeObservation type= ’tsml:TimeseriesDomainRange’ CategoricalTimeseriesDomainRangeObservation http://www.opengis.net/def/observationType/timeseriesML/1.0/CategoricalTimeseriesDomainRangeObservation type= ’tsml:TimeseriesDomainRange’ Likewise, a tsml:type property is present on the TimeseriesDomainRange type to enable a soft-typing approach to this class. The values for this property should be taken from Table 2. Table : TimeseriesML URIs for TimeseriesDomainRange specialisations Timeseries Profile of O&M Type tsml:type value in tsml:TimeseriesDomainRange MeasurementTimeseriesDomainRangeTimeseries http://www.opengis.net/def/timeseriesType/timeseriesML/1.0/Time/MeasurementTimeseriesDomainRange CategoricalTimeseriesDomainRangeTimeseries http://www.opengis.net/def/timeseriesType/timeseriesML/1.0/Time/CategoricalTimeseriesDomainRange 6.1.4    Efficiency of encoding This XML Schema implementation takes the approach that, where conceptual classes can be combined without loss of clarity, they are. For example, the same metadata classes are used for both Categorical and Measurement timeseries. This is to avoid a proliferation of similar classes in the XML encoding. The following table outlines the mapping between the conceptual model and the XML Schema implementation. Table : Mapping of Timeseries Profile of Observations and Measurments toTimeseriesML 1.0 XML Schema types. Timeseries Profile of Observations and Measurements TimeseriesML 1.0 XML Collection tsml:Collection DocumentMetadata tsml:DocumentMetadata CategoricalTimeseriesTVPObservation om:OM_Observation* MeasurementTimeseriesTVPObservation CategoricalTimeseriesDomainRangeObservation MeasurementTimeseriesDomainRangeObservation TimeseriesTVP tsml:TimeseriesTVP MeasurementTimeseriesTVP CategoricalTimeseriesTVP TimeseriesDomainRange tsml:TimeseriesDomainRange MeasurementTimeseriesDomainRange CategoricalTimeseriesDomainRange PointMetadata tsml:PointMetadata MeasurementPointMetadata CategoricalPointMetadata TimeValuePair tsml:TimeValuePair (abstract) MeasureTimeValuePair tsml:MeasurementTVP CategoricalTimeValuePair tsml:CategoricalTVP ObservationProcess tsml:ObservationProcess MonitoringFeature tsml:MonitoringFeature * The specialisation of OM_Observation is provided through Schematron rather than a specialised XML type. 6.1.5    Abstract requirements and conformances classes As noted in the OGC Modular Specification section 6.2, the tests for abstract conformance classes may need to be described in the subclass classes if the base requirements classes are ambiguous for the abstract class. This is the case for the two styles of timeseries conformance classes, domain-range and interleaved (time-value pair). Some requirements for these classes are re-specified in more concrete terms to allow more explicit testing. 6.2    XML Examples XML examples are published alongside the XML schemas at http://schemas.opengis.net/tsml/1.0/.

Figure: : XML Implementation of Collection and associated classes The XML Schema implementation of Collection maps closely to the conceptual model. The key implementation points to note are that all observationMembers are implemented by OM_Observation, and that ConformanceClass is implemented as a reference (xlink:href) from DocumentMetadata. 6.15.1.1    Collection properties TimeseriesML defines a generic collection feature type, Collection, to allow the grouping of observations and/or sampling features with metadata to describe the nature of the collection.

CI_ResponsibleParty Zero to many (Optional) representativePoint A point location that is representative of the monitoring feature's location. Typically this is used when the shape of the monitoring feature is an area or other non-point geometry.

CI_ResponsibleParty Zero or one (Optional) originatingProcess Used to identify a process that is a source to this process. For example an earlier processing step. OM_Process Zero or one (Optional) aggregationDuration A list of the inputs used in the process. This may be a list of references to the data sets used (e.g. model input series) or a input array to an algorithm. TM_PeriodDuration Zero or one (Optional) verticalDatum Specifies the datum that is used as the zero point for level measurements. This can be process-specific as opposed the gauge at the actual monitoring point. CD_VerticalDatum Zero or one (Optional) input A list of the inputs used in the process.

Reference Zero to many (Optional) comment Comments specific to the process from the operator. CharacterString Zero to many (Optional) parameter A definition of the type of process used in the observation. This may be a Sensor, ManualMethod, Algorithm or Simulation (including models).

Requirement /req/xsd-metadata/point-metadata Metadata about individual data points shall be provided using the tsml:PointMetadata type Requirement /req/xsd-metadata/timeseries-comments Comments about the timeseries may be provided using the tsml:CommentBlock type. Requirement /req/xsd-metadata/timeseries-metadata-extension Metadata about a domain range timeseries shall be provided using the tsml:TimeseriesMetadataExtension type. 6.19.1    Requirements class overview This requirement captures metadata requirements common across all timeseries classes. Figure: : TimeSeries Metadata XMLSchema Implementation The XML Schema Implementation collapses many of the conceptual model metadata classes together for simplicity of encoding. There are three metadata classes: ObservationMetadata: Metadata about the whole timeseries observation TimeseriesMetadata: Metadata about the whole timeseries. PointMetadata: Metadata about individual points in the timeseries. PointMetadata may be set to a default across the whole timeseries and over-ridden for individual points. Figure: : Mapping of TimeseriesMetadata and CommentBlock to Conceptual Model Figure: : Mapping of XML Schema PointMetadata to Conceptual Model 6.19.2    CommentBlock properties Comment blocks may be used to make comment about the timeseries. Each comment applies to a specified period of the timeseries (it could apply to the whole timeseries). Property Definition Data types and values Multiplicity applicablePeriod The time period to which the comment applies. TM_Period One (Mandatory) comment Free text comment about some aspect of the timeseries. CharacterString One (Mandatory) 6.19.3    PointMetadata properties Metadata relating to individual data points (can be set to a default for the whole timeseries). Property Definition Data types and values Multiplicity quality This property is for specifying a quality assertion using the TimeseriesML 1.0 defined concepts of quality as described in the DataQualityCode list. When a non-standard quality code is required a SWE Qualifier property shall be used. DataQualityCode Zero or one (Optional) uom Unit of measure for the point data (typically a default will apply to the whole timeseries). UnitOfMeasure Zero or one (Optional) interpolationType Defines the nature of the relationship between the time instant and the recorded value. For example, the value may represent an average across the time period since the last point (average in preceding interval). This value should be taken from the InterpolationCode list. The interpolation type is defined per point within the timeseries as it is possible for this to change mid series. Within the XML encoding it is possible to set a default interpolation for the series. InterpolationCode Zero or one (Optional) nilReason This property describes the reason that a point has been identified as null. This provides context for interpreting null points (e.g. missing, withheld etc.). NilReason Zero or one (Optional) censoredReason Used to indicate the reason the value has been censored (e.g. below a threshold). CensoredReasonCode Zero or one (Optional) comment Context information that does not fit into a controlled list of qualifiers, processing or quality information is often provided in free text per point. The comment property provides a placeholder for such textual information. CharacterString Zero or one (Optional) uncertainty This property allows for a quantitative assertion of the estimated uncertainty of the measurement value. The term uncertainty is used here in line with 'measurement uncertainty' as defined in the International Vocabulary of Metrology (VIM3, http://www.bipm.org/en/publications/guides/vim.html), however it is acknowledged that it is still quite common practice (e.g. in instrument specifications) for the word accuracy to be used in place of uncertainty. Quantity Zero or one (Optional) relatedObservation This property allows individual points to be associated with related observations. This is used when a timeseries consists of interleaved observations from different sources and understanding the relationship to existing observation(s) is important. OM_Observation Zero or one (Optional) aggregationDuration Specifies the time period over which the values have been aggregated. E.g. 15 minutely. TM_PeriodDuration Zero or one (Optional) qualifier A more loosely-typed qualifier that allows assertions using the SWE Common union (quality, categories etc.) Quantity Zero to many (Optional) processing A code item indicating the processing that has occurred to the point. ProcessingCode Zero or one (Optional) source A code item indicating the processing that has occurred to the point. By reference only. MD_DataIdentification Zero or one (Optional) 6.19.4    TimeseriesMetadata properties Metadata applicable to the whole timeseries. Property Definition Data types and values Multiplicity commentBlock Comment blocks may be used to make comment about the timeseries. Each comment applies to a specified period of the timeseries (it could apply to the whole timeseries). CommentBlock Zero to many (Optional) temporalExtent The extent of the temporal domain of the timeseries. As the domain of the timeseries is temporal, the temporalExtent is a time period defining the start and end of its temporal domain (i.e. the start and end of the timeseries). Note that this often the same as the phenomenon time as specified in the OM_Observation; it is still useful here for timeseries that are described separately from an OM_Observation header. TM_Period Zero or one (Optional) baseTime Timeseries that are regularly spaced, such as those that are generated from automatic sensors, can be represented without specifying the individual time instant for each point. The spacing property of the timeseries is used to specify the time between points. This is then used as the spacing for each point encountered, starting from the time set by baseTime. TM_Position Zero or one (Optional) intendedObservationSpacing Defines the expected spacing between observations e.g. daily. TM_Period Zero or one (Optional) cumulative This boolean property indicates whether the series is sequentially increasing and accumulates over time; i.e. each value is added to the last so the value represents the total of a value since accumulation began. Boolean Zero or one (Optional) accumulationAnchorTime Defines the time at which accumulation begins. e.g. 9am. TM_Period Zero or one (Optional) accumulationIntervalLength Defines the length of time over which accumulation is recorded e.g. 24 hours TM_PeriodDuration Zero or one (Optional) startAnchorPoint StartAnchorPoint specifies a ‘ghost’ point to allow the first value of the timeseries to be interpolated correctly. TM_Position Zero or one (Optional) endAnchorPoint EndAnchorPoint specifies a ‘ghost’ point to allow the last value of the timeseries to be interpolated correctly. TM_Position Zero or one (Optional) spacing The time between points in a regularly spaced timeseries. TM_PeriodDuration Zero or one (Optional) status Indicates the statues of the observation. E.g. unreleased, verified etc. StatusCode Zero or one (Optional) sampledMedium Indicates the medium that was sampled. E.g. water, air, etc. SampledMediumCode Zero or one (Optional) maxGapPeriod When any analysis is run over a timeseries it is important to know if it is possible to interpolate between any two adjoining points. If the join period between two adjoining points is greater than the maxGapPeriod then the series should not be interpolated between these adjoining points. TM_PeriodDuration Zero or one (Optional) Parameter This is a named value extension point that allows extra metadata to be added at the timeseries level. The parameters here are soft-typed (i.e. this standard does not define the properties semantics). Commonly used parameters here would be future candidates for definition within later versions or community extensions. NamedValue Zero to many (Optional) Annex A (Normative) Abstract Test Suites The minimum implementation for compliance would be for a product to implement both A.1 and A.2, and then one of either A.3 or A.6. The minimum would therefore be valid O&M XML with a result type of timeseries (of either DR or TVP).

Annex B - Codelists (informative) This annex contains copies of codelists that are initially defined in the OGC Timeseries Profile of Observations and Measurements and used in the TimeseriesML XML encoding. They are reproduced in this standard for convenience only. The normative definitions are not maintained in this standard. Normative definitions can be found at http://www.opengis.net/def/timeseries/ and are maintained outside of this standard. B.1     DataQualityCode Codelist Terms in this codelist are used to indicate the quality of individual data points. Table : Values from the DataQualityCode codelist Code Label Definition http://www.opengis.net/def/timeseries/DataQualityCode/Good Good The data has been examined and represents a reliable measurement. http://www.opengis.net/def/timeseries/DataQualityCode/Suspect Suspect The data should be treated as suspect. http://www.opengis.net/def/timeseries/DataQualityCode/Estimate Estimate The data is an estimate only, not a direct measurement. http://www.opengis.net/def/timeseries/DataQualityCode/Poor Poor The data should be considered as low quality and may have been rejected. http://www.opengis.net/def/timeseries/DataQualityCode/Unchecked Unchecked The data has not been checked by any qualitative method. http://www.opengis.net/def/timeseries/DataQualityCode/Missing Missing The data is missing. B.2     InterpolationCode Codelist Terms in this codelist are used to indicate how data should be interpolated between neigbouring points in a timeseries. Table : Values from the InterpolationCode codelist Code Label Definition http://www.opengis.net/def/timeseries/InterpolationCode/Continuous Continuous A continuous timeseries indicates the observation result is the value of a property at the indicated instant in time. The points are essentially connected and interpolation may occur between points in order to estimate the value of the property between points. The appropriate time spacing between successive points to minimize interpolation errors is related to rate of change (with respect to time) of the property. http://www.opengis.net/def/timeseries/InterpolationCode/Discontinuous Discontinuous The sampling of the property occurs such that it is not possible to regard the series as continuous. The time between samples is too large to classify the measurements as continuous. Example: An infrequent water sample measuring pH. http://www.opengis.net/def/timeseries/InterpolationCode/InstantTotal Instant Total Value represents a total attributed to a specific time instant. This is normally generated from an event based measuring device. Example: An individual tip of a tipping bucket rain gauge. http://www.opengis.net/def/timeseries/InterpolationCode/AveragePrec Average Preceding Value represents the average value over the preceding interval. http://www.opengis.net/def/timeseries/InterpolationCode/MaxPrec Maximum Preceding Value represents the maximum value that was measured during the preceding time interval. http://www.opengis.net/def/timeseries/InterpolationCode/MinPrec Minimum Preceding Value represents the minimum value that was measured during the preceding time interval. http://www.opengis.net/def/timeseries/InterpolationCode/PrecTotal Preceding Total Value represents the total of measurements taken within the previous time interval. http://www.opengis.net/def/timeseries/InterpolationCode/AverageSucc Average Succeeding Value represents the average value over the following interval. http://www.opengis.net/def/timeseries/InterpolationCode/TotalSucc Total Succeeding Value represents the average value over the following interval. http://www.opengis.net/def/timeseries/InterpolationCode/MinSucc Minimum Succeeding Value represents the minimum value for the following interval. http://www.opengis.net/def/timeseries/InterpolationCode/MaxSucc Maximum Succeeding Value represents the maximum value for the following interval. http://www.opengis.net/def/timeseries/InterpolationCode/ConstPrec Constant Preceding Value is constant in the preceding interval. http://www.opengis.net/def/timeseries/InterpolationCode/ConstSucc Constant Succeeding Value is constant in the succeeding interval. B.3     ProcessTypeCode Codelist Terms from this codelist are used to indicate the type of process that was used in an observation. Table : Values from the ProcessTypeCode codelist Code Label Definition http://www.opengis.net/def/timeseries/ProcessTypeCode/Algorithm Algorithm Timeseries data is generated by applying an algorithm to input data http://www.opengis.net/def/timeseries/ProcessTypeCode/ManualMethod Manual Method Timeseries data is collected manually http://www.opengis.net/def/timeseries/ProcessTypeCode/Sensor Sensor Timeseries data is collected from an automated sensor http://www.opengis.net/def/timeseries/ProcessTypeCode/Simulation Simulation Timeseries is generated from a simulation http://www.opengis.net/def/timeseries/ProcessTypeCode/Unknown Unknown Timeseries is collected or generated by an unknown process B.4     ProcessingCode Codelist The contents of this codelist is not defined in the Timeseries Profile. It is a stub for any community or vendor specific codelist that defines processing codes relevant to timeseries observations (for example to indicate what processing level or step has been reached). B.5     SampledMediumCode Codelist The contents of this codelist is not defined in the Timeseries Profile. It is a stub for any community or vendor specific codelist that defines codes for sampled media relevant to timeseries observations. B.6     StatusCode Codelist The contents of this codelist is not defined in the Timeseries Profile. It is a stub for any community or vendor specific codelist that defines status codes relevant to timeseries observations (for example to indicate what verification checks have taken place). Annex C (Normative) - Mapping of TimeseriesML 1.0 XML Schema types to WaterML2.0 XML Schema types This annex contains a mapping of the TimeseriesML2.0 XML Schema to the WaterML 2.0 XML Schema. In the TimeseriesML XML Schema implementation emphasis has been placed on minimizing the number of classes.
