Description

The given LaTeX code produces a diagram depicting the Sensor Observation Sample Actuator (SOSA) model with various components labeled on it. The diagram is circular in shape with the SOSA model at the center and various components arranged around it as arcs.

The components depicted in the diagram are:

  • Semantic Sensor Network (SSN)
  • System Capabilities
  • System Relation
  • O&M Alignment Module
  • PROV Alignment Module
  • OBOE Alignment Module
  • Dolce-UltraLite Alignment Module
  • SSNX Alignment Module

Each component is represented as an arc with a label on it, and arrows are drawn from the SOSA model to each component to indicate their relationship. The colors used for the arcs are ocre, sky, and skybox.

Keywords

The keywords for the LaTeX diagram above are: TikZ, nodes, styles, edges, arrows, positioning, text, fonts, shapes, colors.
