The use of standard protocols, such as SWE, to exchange information between smartphones and sensor infrastructures brings benefits such as interoperability and scalability, but their reliance on XML is a potential problem when large volumes of data are transferred, due to limited bandwidth and processing capabilities on mobile phones. In this article we present a performance analysis about the use of SWE standards in smartphone applications to consume and produce environmental sensor data, analysing to what extent the performance problems related to XML can be alleviated by using alternative uncompressed and compressed formats. |

Este hecho demuestra el interés de los usuarios y el papel fundamental que la información con contexto geográfico juega en la sociedad. Actualmente existen numerosos servicios Web especializados en tipos concretos de recursos como imágenes, video o texto que nos permiten realizar búsquedas en base a una localización. Por otra parte, de manera más formal, en el contexto de los Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG) se han realizado grandes esfuerzos en generar grandes catálogos de metadatos. Sin embargo, debido entre otros, a que la generación y publicación de metadatos es un proceso manual, existe una escasez de ellos y aún resulta complicado encontrar contenidos georreferenciados relevantes de una forma integrada y sencilla. Podemos tomar como referencia el mundo web, donde inicialmente era muy complicado encontrar los contenidos que eran relevantes. La revolución llego con los buscadores, empresas como Yahoo! o Google se dieron cuenta de las deficiencias del sistema y empezaron a recopilar ellos mismos información de cada recurso cuyos creadores dejaban accesible. Esta labor es realizada por los conocidos robots o crawlers, que se dedican a recorrer sistemáticamente los recursos disponibles con el fin de obtener de ellos el máximo de información (metadatos) que su tecnología les permite.

Este hecho demuestra el interés de los usuarios y el papel fundamental que la información con contexto geográfico juega en la sociedad. Actualmente existen numerosos servicios Web especializados en tipos concretos de recursos como imágenes, video o texto que nos permiten realizar búsquedas en base a una localización. Por otra parte, de manera más formal, en el contexto de los Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG) se han realizado grandes esfuerzos en generar grandes catálogos de metadatos. Sin embargo, debido entre otros, a que la generación y publicación de metadatos es un proceso manual, existe una escasez de ellos y aún resulta complicado encontrar contenidos georreferenciados relevantes de una forma integrada y sencilla. Podemos tomar como referencia el mundo web, donde inicialmente era muy complicado encontrar los contenidos que eran relevantes.
