But please note that there is a lot packed into 'ask the OGC to clarify the
architecture'.
For example, if you ask Carl, he will just bounce it to a list, and there
may never be a response.
In order to get concrete action out of OGC you have to either
(a) prepare a change request to an existing spec
- this means that you must a solution to propose, not just a problem to
describe
(b) bring it to the attention of the relevant WG
(c) do the hard work to ensure that it gets followed up. Will probably
involve attending many meetings.
or
(i) get involved in an interoperability program activity (testbed or
experiment) to expose the problem
(ii) make sure it gets included in the engineering reports
(iii) go to (a)
or
(1) draft a new spec
(2) go to (b)
What is more or less guaranteed to fail is simply sending a question off and
crossing your fingers waiting for the solution to land in your lap.
OGC is a voluntary consensus organization.
Its staff are facilitators, and do not do the technical work.
The work is done by the membership, who pay attention to the things that are
bothering them, and generally will not pay much attention to messages
dropping in from the outside.

Hi,
its better that someone who truly represents the domain takes on this role,
but I'm willing and resourced under AuScope to provide some assistance.
The document provided has a key "contract" hidden in the data flow
description, step 1
"the WMS Client displays the available features. "
I.e. the architecture includes some contract between the metadata exposed by
the WMS and the available features in WFS, searchable via the registry.
What does this look like? it is embedded in layer name, keywords, referenced
metadata documents, describeLayer ..
from the ether....
"WMS DescribeLayer is currently part of the SLD WMS spec, and is meant to
> tie a WMS layer to a WFS typename or WCS coverage. Not all WMS services
> implement this though, Mapserver and Geoserver do, but e.g. ArcGIS

"
I would suggest this is a good place to ask the OGC to clarify the
architecture - is it a requirement for a best practice convention or
something that needs to be made explicit in the OGC specifications.

Importance: High
Hi Service Architecture group,
1. Submissions for the OGC meeting agenda close about 3 weeks before the
meeting (ie: ~ 7 September) so we can't wait until Quebec to get a slot at
Darmstadt. The only other timing issue was to synchronise time zones if
there was to be any teleconferencing by people from outside Europe. Mark
Reichardt saw no problems in accommodating this need.
(http://www.opengeospatial.org/event/0909tcagenda)
2. Overnight Mark spoke to Carl Reed (Executive Director, Specification
Program OGC) and has requested that I talk to Carl in more depth about
issues of WMS-WFS chaining and catalog.
We are at the point where the Service Architecture group needs to do this
communication with OGC, not me (and I am rapidly getting into technical
depths beyond my capabilities). Can I have a volunteer to do that please?
Carl's contact details are:
Executive Director, Specification Program, CTO
creed at opengeospatial.org
Phone: +1 970 419 8755
Fax: +1 970 407 1101
I have attached an email from Carl and a document he provided describing how
one organisation has implemented WMS-WFS chaining.
Cheers,
Ollie

In discussions that I had with Mark Reichardt yesterday he gave me a great
list of contacts to follow up of OGC members that have already wrestled with
the technical issues. He suggested that some of these people would be more
than willing to assist specific implementers in setting up their own systems
as well. In particular the marine group and GeoConnections, of which we have
yet another visitor here today.

Subject: [Auscope-geosciml] SIDE bar CSW and Mark Reichardt of OGC
I too met Mark Reichardt in June at the INSPIRE Rotterdam conference - and
it may be as a result of that discussion where he always wants more input
from us (GeoSciML/OneGeology) at TC meetings that this offer has spawned. I
was speaking to him specifically about KML and its development as an OGC
standard.
Actually this makes me realise that I want to ask if Francois as 'our' OGC
board member is looking for issues for us to raise there at an appropriate
point - if asked I would say 'Francois what is the nature of the agreement
between ISO and OGC in ISO taking forward the WFS 2.0 standard (has OGC
development of WFS 1.2 stopped as I believe but am unsure)? Will the WFS 2.0
standard be published at no cost (ISO standards cost money to legally
access, OGC standards documents do not, that is not an issue with me but
often an issue with opensource developers) with an OGC branding (like WMS
1.3 has an OGC and an ISO branding - nearly identical contents) and when
will it in practice be available? ISO web site refers to final formal
standard being ready 09/2010 but that is too far in future for our needs in
my opinion (Simon says the standard is in actuality fixed and stable now).
Regards
Tim

Yes - I'll be there.
The OGC Technical Committee is the main body of the 'Specification Program'
http://www.opengeospatial.org/projects.
At a meeting, the action happens almost exclusively within working groups,
either in open meetings of domain working groups
http://www.opengeospatial.org/projects/groups/wg or closed meetings of
standards working groups http://www.opengeospatial.org/projects/groups/swg
plus some satellite meetings of other groups
http://www.opengeospatial.org/projects/groups/sc.
The preliminary program of groups meetings at the upcoming TC meeting is

Hi all,
In a fortuitous accident of timing, Mark Reichardt (CEO of OGC) was visiting
GA today. In talking about our experiences with WMS, WFS, and CSW, he
encouraged us (the GeoSciML community) to document our discussions at Quebec
and forward any ideas and best practice recommendations that we come up with
to OGC for inclusion as an agenda item at the OGC Technical meeting in
Darmstadt, Germany on 28 Sept - 2 October
(http://www.opengeospatial.org/event/0909tc).
He suggested that we have a technical representative from our architecture
group teleconference to Darmstadt during that agenda item. We would need to
reserve a time slot in the Darstadt agenda that is convenient for the
relative time zones.
Would any of our more technically-minded people (maybe Eric, or
Jean-Jacques, or Steve) like to take up this opportunity to influence OGC
practices?
Cheers,
Ollie

It looks to me like too much going on Thursday-- data model, service
architecture, concept definitions. I'd like a half day with the CDTG
members who are present to review comments on a new version of the
lithology category vocabulary (simple lithology), and that may be
optimisitic. I would hate to not be able to participate in the service
architecture discussions as well-- I think they're pretty high priority
at this point if we want to get interoperable services working. At this
point, it seems to me that working on test bed use cases, service
architecture, and vocabularies is more important than major
modifications to the data model. Working out how to integrate ISO19139
metadata and O&M elements for structure data and boreholes into GeoSciML
documents to produce useful services is top priority in my book.
What I'd suggest is arrange the agenda to do UseCases (monday), then
Service Architecture (Tuesday), and based on those discussions,
prioritize data model discussions for day 3 and 4, with CDTG Wednesday AM?
The service architecture discussion could get some useful ideas and
issues from looking at what's up in the CSW world as part of the intro
for the discussion.

I agree with Steve about avoiding concurrent sessions if possible, and about
his priorities. Although there are a few important model glitches to fix
(agenda coming soon).
My feeling is that Use Cases might not need a full day (correct me if I'm
wrong), and we could start Service Architecture during Monday afternoon and
into Tuesday AM. We could drop Model Design back to 2 days to give the CDTG
half a day.
It's a lot to squeeze into 4.5 days, so I could see an evening session
eventuating...
Cheers,
Ollie

Subject: Re: QuebecF2F2009-- side bar on CSW catalog implementation?
It looks to me like too much going on Thursday-- data model, service
architecture, concept definitions. I'd like a half day with the CDTG
members who are present to review comments on a new version of the
lithology category vocabulary (simple lithology), and that may be
optimisitic. I would hate to not be able to participate in the service
architecture discussions as well-- I think they're pretty high priority
at this point if we want to get interoperable services working. At this
point, it seems to me that working on test bed use cases, service
architecture, and vocabularies is more important than major
modifications to the data model. Working out how to integrate ISO19139
metadata and O&M elements for structure data and boreholes into GeoSciML
documents to produce useful services is top priority in my book.
What I'd suggest is arrange the agenda to do UseCases (monday), then
Service Architecture (Tuesday), and based on those discussions,
prioritize data model discussions for day 3 and 4, with CDTG Wednesday AM?
The service architecture discussion could get some useful ideas and
issues from looking at what's up in the CSW world as part of the intro
for the discussion.

Yes - I'll be there.
The OGC Technical Committee is the main body of the 'Specification Program'
http://www.opengeospatial.org/projects.
At a meeting, the action happens almost exclusively within working groups,
either in open meetings of domain working groups
http://www.opengeospatial.org/projects/groups/wg or closed meetings of
standards working groups http://www.opengeospatial.org/projects/groups/swg
plus some satellite meetings of other groups
http://www.opengeospatial.org/projects/groups/sc.
The preliminary program of groups meetings at the upcoming TC meeting is
here: http://www.opengeospatial.org/event/0909tcagenda

Hi Ollie,
Thanks for the information.
I do not know yet if Jean-Jacques will attend the Darmstadt, anyway the will
certainly be some GeoSciML people (Simon ?). Did Mark suggested any slot of
the TC to include this dfiscussion ?
Cheers,
Fran?ois

implementation - OGC follow up? [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
Hi all,
In a fortuitous accident of timing, Mark Reichardt (CEO of OGC) was visiting
GA today. In talking about our experiences with WMS, WFS, and CSW, he
encouraged us (the GeoSciML community) to document our discussions at Quebec
and forward any ideas and best practice recommendations that we come up with
to OGC for inclusion as an agenda item at the OGC Technical meeting in
Darmstadt, Germany on 28 Sept - 2 October
(http://www.opengeospatial.org/event/0909tc).
He suggested that we have a technical representative from our architecture
group teleconference to Darmstadt during that agenda item. We would need to
reserve a time slot in the Darstadt agenda that is convenient for the
relative time zones.
Would any of our more technically-minded people (maybe Eric, or
Jean-Jacques, or Steve) like to take up this opportunity to influence OGC
practices?
Cheers,
Ollie
