Sensor and Model Web in our project:

GEOSS Water Services aims to build a global registry of water data, map and modeling services catalogue using the standards and procedures of the Open Geospatial Consortium and the World Meteorological Organization. There are two main products in the future envisaged in GEOSS: Model Web and Sensor Web.

In GEOSS Water Services Sensor Web activities are more concerned with the observations and sensors, while modeling belongs to the Model Web side.
