OGC® WaterML2.0: Part 2 - Ratings, Gaugings and Sections, Version 1.0.

Abstract

This standard defines an information model and XML encoding for exchanging the following three hydrological information resources: Conversion tables, or conversion curves, that are used for the conversion of related hydrological phenomenon. Gauging observations– the observations performed to develop conversion table relationships. Cross sections - survey observations made of the geometric structure of features, such as river channels, storages etc. Metadata and vocabularies are defined that together provide a means for parties to exchange these concepts using common semantics. This standard is the second part of the WaterML2.0 suite of standards, building on part 1 that addresses the exchange of time series.
