Rudy,I tend to agree and I think that's the point I was trying to make. We're going to need to consider, over time, a more encompassing language to describe these. ESML, SensorML, and GML are all key elements, but no one markup, in itself, is sufficient. I hate to think in terms of supersetting these markups, as we could well lose the ability to manage their content, and then lose precision in description. However, I suspect that such supersetting will provide the mechanism to extend each, and eventually find a way to resolve to a more common theme.
Thanks for the pointer to the AQ work. I was actually looking for something like this to support our TexAQS studies!

Gerry,The use of multiple 'languages' e.g. GML and SensorML seems to me the only way to describe the different aspects of Earth Science monitoring and data systems. This may be naive, but my question is not whether but * how to use the combination* of these standard languages to describe the entire elephant. Some early, thinking-fragments on this topic, related to air quality is here.http://capita.wustl.edu/capita/researchareas/GALEON/Reports/AQ_Pt_OGC.ppt
