With the development of new sensor technologies and the standardization of sensor data formats, sensor data from different sources becomes available for many applications. A crucial task is to get an overview on the spatial and temporal extent for which data is available before integrating the data into an application. This work presents an approach for accessing the necessary information about the availability of temporally structured sensor data from sensor web services. We show different kinds of data availability visualization. Based on the required values we specify a new generic sensor web service interface operation that constitutes the foundation for realizing the presented visualization methods.
