Hand data interchange format, standardization
To provide interoperability in storing and transmitting hand geometry-related biometric information, one international standard has been developed. Beyond this International Standard, other standards deal with conformance and quality control, as well as interfaces or performance evaluation and reporting (see relevant entries in this Encyclopedia for further information)

A commentary on standardization in the Semantic Web, Common Logic and MultiAgent Systems
Given the ubiquity of the Web, the Semantic Web (SW) offers MultiAgent Systems (MAS) a most wide-ranging platform by which they could intercommunicate. It can be argued however that MAS require levels of logic that the current Semantic Web has yet to provide. As ISO Common Logic (CL) ISO/IEC IS 24707:2007 provides a firstorder logic capability for MAS in an interoperable way, it seems natural to investigate how CL may itself integrate with the SW thus providing a more expressive means by which MAS can interoperate effectively across the SW. A commentary is accordingly presented on how this may be achieved. Whilst it notes that certain limitations remain to be addressed, the commentary proposes that standardising the SW with CL provides the vehicle by which MAS can achieve their potential.</p

Applying OGC sensor web enablement to ocean observing systems
The complexity of marine installations
for ocean observing systems has grown significantly in
recent years. In a network consisting of tens, hundreds
or thousands of marine instruments, manual
configuration and integration becomes very
challenging. Simplifying the integration process in
existing or newly established observing systems would
benefit system operators and is important for the
broader application of different sensors. This article
presents an approach for the automatic configuration
and integration of sensors into an interoperable
Sensor Web infrastructure. First, the sensor
communication model, based on OGC's SensorML
standard, is utilized. It serves as a generic driver
mechanism since it enables the declarative and
detailed description of a sensor's protocol. Finally, we
present a data acquisition architecture based on the
OGC PUCK protocol that enables storage and
retrieval of the SensorML document from the sensor
itself, and automatic integration of sensors into an
interoperable Sensor Web infrastructure. Our
approach adopts Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) as
alternative serialization form of XML or JSON. It
solves the bandwidth problem of XML and JSON.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft
