  4. Evolution of Internet Maps Static Maps Web Mapping Interactive Web Mapping Distributed GIS Services

  5. NOAA Maps • NOAA Maps project has documented over 400 maps and almost 150 unique capabilities • The capabilities range from no interactivity, such as a static JPEG map image, to maps with full interactivity and data access

  6. OpenGIS in NOAA

  7. Why should NOAA adopt OpenGIS Specifications? • It would facilitate and simplify • accessibility to data • data sharing within NOAA and between NOAA and international, federal and state agencies • Positive results from NASA study between open geospatial standards and proprietary standards • 119% Return on Investment (ROI) over a five year period • 26% savings overall

  8. Intro to the OGC

  9. Open Geospatial Consortium • The Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc (OGC) is an international industry consortium of 284 companies, government agencies and universities participating in a consensus process to develop publicly available interface specifications.

  10. What are OpenGIS Specifications? • Documents that identify standards for interoperable solutions of geospatial data. The specifications in this presentation address sharing data via the Web. • They address the need to • Share and reuse data • Leverage investments in software and data • To reduce technology and procurement risk

  11. Themes of the OGC Specifications • Maps and Visualization • Web Map Service • Web Terrain Service • Data and Data Access • Web Feature Service • Web Coverage Service • Metadata and Catalogue Access • Catalogue Services • Geospatial Reference Model • EPSG database and CRS IDs • ISO 19112 • Geoprocessing Services • Web Coordinate Transformation • Web Processing Service

  14. OpenGIS Web Map Service Implementation Specification

  15. Web Map Service (WMS) • Defines a request and response protocol for Web-based client/map-server interactions. • Produces digital image of a map, such as a PNG, JPEG or GIF. • GetMap • Get Capabilities • GetFeatureInfo

  16. WMS: GetCapabilities • Request produces service metadata of the Web Map Service in XML. • The document includes information about server, the data layers, query-ability, image formats, geographic extent and projections.

  17. WMS: GetMap • URL request returns a map image • A mandatory capability http://map.ngdc.noaa.gov/servlet/com.esri.wms.Esrimap?servicename=nosa&WMTVER=1.0 &request=map&layers=Continents,GOES%20I/M%20Winds&width=1024&height=768&format=png &bbox=-126,-49,18,62&transparent=true

  18. Example of a WMS URL for NOSA

  19. Examples of GetMap The URLS in the following examples begin with: http://map.ngdc.noaa.gov/servlet/com.esri.wms.Esrimap?servicename=nosa&WMTVER=1.0&request=map Therefore, this part of the URL will be represented as *.

  20. *&layers=Continents,FSL-RADIOSONDES&width=1024&height=768&format=png&bbox=-177,-71,179,84&transparent=true*&layers=Continents,FSL-RADIOSONDES&width=1024&height=768&format=png&bbox=-177,-71,179,84&transparent=true

  21. *&layers=Continents,DMSP%20Satellite&width=1024&height=768&format=jpeg&bbox=-174,-87,180,90&transparent=true*&layers=Continents,DMSP%20Satellite&width=1024&height=768&format=jpeg&bbox=-174,-87,180,90&transparent=true

  22. *&layers=Continents,ETL-Fish%20Lidar%20(FLOE)&width=1024&height=768&format=png&bbox=-170,46,-116,64&transparent=true*&layers=Continents,ETL-Fish%20Lidar%20(FLOE)&width=1024&height=768&format=png&bbox=-170,46,-116,64&transparent=true

  23. *&layers=Shaded%20Relief,ETL-Fish%20Lidar%20(FLOE)&width=1024&height=768&format=png&bbox=-168,44,-114,60&transparent=true*&layers=Shaded%20Relief,ETL-Fish%20Lidar%20(FLOE)&width=1024&height=768&format=png&bbox=-168,44,-114,60&transparent=true

  24. WMS: GetFeatureInfo • A request that returns attributes of selected features at a user specified point • Optional capability

  25. Benefits of WMS Interface • Enables on-the-fly overlays from network of interoperable map servers – regardless of server location, map scale, digital format or vendor. • Organizations can combine geospatial data from disparate sources. • Can be quickly implemented. • Yields huge benefits with little incremental cost.

  26. Other OpenGIS Specifications WFS, WCS and WTS

  27. GetCapabilities DescribeFeatureType GetFeature GetGMLObject Transaction Create, Update delete Web Feature Service (WFS) Defines interface for data access and manipulation operations on geographic features using HTTP as the distributed computing platform. The features are described in Geographic Markup Language (GML).

  28. Web Coverage Service (WCS) • GetCapabilities • DescribeCoverage • GetCoverage Supports electronic interchanges of geospatial data as ‘coverages’: information representing space-varying phenomena, such as a GeoTIFF.

  29. Web Terrain Service (WTS) Produces 3D views of georeferenced data. The views are digital images, such as PNG, JPEG or GIF. • GetCapabilities • GetView • Obtain a 3D Scene • GetMap

  30. Implementation of a WMS

  31. WMS Interface • The GetCapabilities request returns an XML document that describes the server side of the WMS interface. • The GetMap request defines the map image for the client side of the WMS interface. • One can deploy WMS as a • Client • Server • Client and server at the same time

  32. Data Internet Client Web Map Server Client/Map-Server Architecture A simple flow of events for a WMS. GetMap Response GetCapabilities Request GetCapabilities Response GetMap Request

  33. Data Data Data Interoperable Web Mapping Architecture Web Map Server Client Web Map Server Client Web Map Server

  34. Data Tools for Implementation • Collection of files • Spatial database • ArcIMS • UMN MapServer • GeoServer • Basic HTML pages • MapViewers • Desktop apps Client Web Map Server

  35. Interesting Issues: • Science community • Data not always represented in a map format • Spatial Reference System not included in scientific formats • GIS community • Represents data as points, lines, polygons and rasters • Focuses on static planar views of data rather than graphs • Spatial Reference System is integral to geospatial formats • Lack of time/money to learn and implement new methods • You tell me…
