⚠️ PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED

1. Position Type Handling

   • ✅ Supports: Point, Pose (with lat/lon/h)
   • ⚠️ Limited support for: TextComponent, AbstractProcess, XLink, VectorComponent, DataRecordComponent, DataArrayComponent
   • Impact: Complex position representations may not be fully resolved to geometry
   • Recommendation: Implement full position resolution for all types in Clause 8.5.1

2. SWE Common Integration

   • ✅ Types imported: AbstractDataComponent, VectorComponent, DataRecordComponent, DataArrayComponent
   • ⚠️ No validation against SWE Common 3.0 schema constraints
   • Impact: Input/Output/Parameter types may not be fully validated
   • Recommendation: Add SWE Common validators (separate from this audit)

---

❌ NOT IMPLEMENTED

1. JSON Schema Validation

   • ❌ No validation against official OGC schemas at https://schemas.opengis.net/sensorML/3.0/json/
   • Impact: Cannot verify compliance with official JSON encoding
   • Recommendation: Implement JSON Schema validation using official schemas

2. Complete Type Coverage
   Some SensorML types from OGC 23-000 not yet implemented:

   • ❌ Event (Clause 8.7)
   • ❌ Link (Clause 8.8)
   • ❌ CapabilityList (Clause 8.2.8)
   • ❌ CharacteristicList (Clause 8.2.7)
   • ❌ Feature (Clause 8.2.5)
   • ❌ Observation (Clause 8.2.6)
   • Impact: Cannot represent full SensorML metadata
   • Recommendation: Add missing types as needed

3. Encoding Validation

   • ❌ No validation of XML namespaces in JSON encoding
   • ❌ No validation of required vs optional properties per schema
   • Impact: May accept invalid SensorML documents
   • Recommendation: Implement schema-based validation

4. Conformance Classes
   OGC 23-000 defines conformance classes (Annex A):

   • ❌ No explicit conformance class declarations
   • ❌ No conformance testing
   • Recommendation: Document which conformance classes are supported

1. JSON Schema Validation Against Official OGC Schemas

   • Current: Structural validation implemented
   • Gap: Not validating against https://schemas.opengis.net/sensorML/3.0/json/ schemas
   • Reason: Schemas would need to be fetched/cached at runtime
   • Impact: Cannot verify 100% compliance with official encoding
   • Recommendation: Add schema fetching in future release

2. Conformance Testing

   • Current: No explicit conformance tests
   • Gap: No testing against OGC 23-000 Annex A requirements
