SensorML V0.0 has been modified based on Comments received during the Request for Comment process in June 2006. This new version has been submitted to the SensorML Revision Working Group for approval, at which time it will then be released to the general membership of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) for a 60-day final vote and approval as a Version 1.0 public technical specification.

The SensorML specification was approved as Version 0 by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Technical Committee on July 24, 2006. A Revision Working Group (RWG) for SensorML has been formed. The RWG will address comments made during the RFC process and incorporate recommended modifications into the specification for Version 1.0 approval. The final stage of approval of SensorML as a Version 1.0 Technical Specification will then involve a 60 day electronic voting period by OGC membership. We are anticipating final approval of the SensorML Version 1.0 specification in November-December 2006.

At the Huntsville OGC TC on March 9, the SensorML specification was approved for release as an RFC (Request for Comment). This is the start of the final stage for approval, which consists of a 30 day public review (upon RFC release) followed by a 60 day Intellectual Property Review (IPR) and further OGC review.
