available across any network, application,

or platform.

OWS-2 MissionOWS-2 Mission

Build on work from previous OGC initiatives and technical working groups to "ruggedize" and extend existing and draft OGC standards into a robust and

complete interoperability framework for implementation within a multi-vendor enterprise and to

achieve interoperability between enterprises for geoprocessing solutions in government and business.

Common ArchitectureCommon Architecture

Mission: The objective of CA is to define a consistent adaptation and integration of Web Services standards, defined by leading organizations such as W3C, OASIS, Microsoft, IBM, Sun Microsystems, and the open-source community, with the OWS service framework in general and the set of core OGC specifications (WMS, WFS, CS-W, and WCS).

• OWS-2 Work Items– SOAP and WSDL for WMS, WFS, WCS and CS-W

• Define SOAP profiles for the services• Define WSDL for HTTP get/put profiles• Develop WSDL for SOAP profiles• Develop reference implementations of services using SOAP profiles

– Experiments using UDDI to discover OGC Web Services– Identify and document any changes required to common architecture or specifications

OGC

Information Interoperability / GeoScoutInformation Interoperability / GeoScout

Mission: Enable the interoperable expression, exchange and access of geographic information within and across information communities (Information communities are groups that share common geographic terms and common spatial feature definitions). Promote the development of SCOTS products that implement these capabilities.

• OWS-2 Work items– Develop techniques for creating application specific information models from

a common model• Create application schemas from UML models• Create application schemas from GML schemas

– Extend SCOTS products to support application schemas

OGC

Developing GML Application Schemas from Developing GML Application Schemas from UML Data ModelsUML Data Models

• UGAS (UML to GML Application Schema) tool generated GML Application Schemas from UML models

• Appropriate where a data model already exists• Provides a repeatable automated process for generating

application schemas

• However: UGAS does identify flaws in your UML model. Be prepared to do several iterations as you fix your model.

Schema SubsettingSchema Subsetting

• Galdos Schema Subsetting tool allows users to create subsets and extensions of an existing GML Application Schema

• Appropriate where there is an existing application schema that can be customized

• Process:– Start tool– Open existing schema– Move desired portions into new schema space– Save the new application schema

Application Schema ResultsApplication Schema Results

• Creating Application Schemas was the biggest task– Application Schema generation requires careful data engineering

You will need experts!– Inconsistencies exist between data models, product specs, GML,

ISO models, and data• Many and long discussions on resolutions• Resolutions based on schedule and capability constraints

– Ambiguities in specs and models become apparent– Rules for subsetting/translating between schemas can be complex– Easy to design an application schema that SCOTS products cannot

use

• Once the data engineering is done, the tools work– UGAS - provides repeatable model driven approach– Subsetting - unconstrained modification or creation

II/GS SummaryII/GS Summary

• Tools and techniques for developing GML Application Schemas of NGA data products exist and they work

• SCOTS vendors are capable of accessing and using data delivered in those application schemas

• SCOTS vendors are not able to post updates to a WFS-T using those application schemas at this time– User definition of topology use cases required

• Results will be provided to WFS 1.1 Working Group

OGC

Compliance and Interoperability Compliance and Interoperability Testing and Evaluation (CITE)Testing and Evaluation (CITE)

Mission: Develop conformance tests and reference implementations for the core set of the OWS Technical Baseline that include: WMS, WFS, CS-W and WCS

• OWS-2 Work items– Develop test suites for:

• Web Map Service 1.3

• Web Feature Service 1.1

• Web Coverage Service 1.0

• Catalog Service 2.0

– Develop Reference Implementations of:• Web Coverage Service 1.0

• Catalog Service 2.0

OpenLSOpenLS

Mission: The OGC Location Services (OpenLS) represent an open (middleware) platform for location-based application services for mobile assets and terminals. The primary goal of the OpenLS initiative series is to define the specifications for the “Core Services and Abstract Data Types (ADT)” that comprise this platform.

• Work Items:– Positioning Service Modifications/Enhancements

– Develop Location Refinement Service

– Develop Navigation Service

– Presentation Service Enhancements

OGC

Image Handling for Decision SupportImage Handling for Decision Support

Mission: Use and, where appropriate, define and enhance interoperability specifications to increase the availability and usability of geographic imagery, enabling the use of information derived from imagery to be used with all other forms of geographic information by decision support tools and systems to derive information that enhances the human capacity to make decisions.

• OWS-2 Work items– Demonstrate use of WCS 1.0 to access and handle images from NASA

Synergy Data Pool image archive– Exercise Imagery Metadata standards– Develop enhancements to WCS– Develop image processing services

• Web Coordinate Transformation Service (WCTS)• Web Image Classification Service (WICS)

– Integrate OWS services into an automated workflow

ScenarioScenario

This discussion will take place in the context of a real event. Between October 25 and November 5, 2003, fires burned 336,978 acres in San Diego County, California.

The following activities could have been executed as part of the fire fighting efforts.

• Decision support using existing OGC specifications– Web Browser - Thin Client

– Decision support application - Thick Client

• Decision support using value-added products produced using OWS2 technology developments– Image processing services

– Workflow automation
