BNSC OGC Activities Presentation at Joint WGISS/Subgroup Meeting Tromso, May 2004 Wyn Cudlip BNSC/QinetiQ
Introduction • As part of its overall International Co-operation Programme in EO, BNSC is supporting a number of small study/technology demonstrators relating to OGC (and GRID): • ICEDS: Integrated CEOS European Data Server • EMIR: Environment for Metadata and Image Retrieval • Support for the OGC EO SIG • Study on the relevance of OGC/GRID for GMES • Study on Harmonisation of Met. and EO Data Formats • These are mostly due to finish over the summer. • Should be able to make results available at next WGISS meeting Also • Provides partial support for Pilot Ocean Project
ICEDS: Integrated CEOS European Data Server • To provide support for the WGISS Landsat/SRTM Project. • To investigate the issues around using WMS, WFS and WCS to serve global datasets of Landsat and SRTM data. • Presentation to be given on Thursday afternoon.
EMIREnvironment for Metadata and Image Retrieval • Provide OGC interfaces into legacy catalogue and data archives • Continuation of GAZE (presented at last meeting) • GML Access from Z39.50 Environments • Access to Z39.50 catalogue systems • (e.g. FGDC Clearing House, UK GI Gateway and UK NERC Data centres). • Requested data is hosted, on the fly, on OGC WMS or WCS
Support for OGC EO SIG • Activity to be carried out by Tom Lancaster of Inforterra. • Attend OGC EO SIG meetings But also • Try to harmonise use of OGC Standards in the UK. Including • OGC Common Service • Digital Rights Management
Relevance OGC and GRID for GMES • Small study by SciSys • Global Monitoring for Environment and Security. • Major initiative of the European Union (EU) and ESA to exploit EO data (and in-situ data) for the benefit of the citizen. • Many large (and over-lapping) projects to develop new services that can benefit for EO satellite data • Study will aim to emphasis benefits of exploiting open standards and improved harmonisation.
Harmonisation of Met. and E.O. data formats • Study to look at the current state of the art of Met. and E.O. Data Formats. By LogicaCMG. • Make possible recommendations as to how interoperability may be improved. • Study endorsed by Eumetsat. • Use of OGC Standards for access to Met. data.
Conclusion • UK (and European) emphasis on the provision of Services based on EO data, rather than the “supply of images”. • OGC Standards can be an essential part of this. • Commercial exploitation of GRID developments is a little further off.
