TRENDS IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

The opportunity is to take these new technologies and build a logically separate Future WMO Information System (FWIS), using the Internet, which meets the requirements of all WMO programmes for the exchange of meteorological and related data.

WMO Information System (WIS)WMO Congress XIV (2003)

“The multiplicity of systems of the different Programmes

causes incompatibilities, inefficiencies, duplication of

efforts and higher overall costs.”

Congress approved the concept of FWIS, which will

provide a single coordinated global infrastructure for

the collection and sharing of information in support of all

WMO and related international programmes.

WMO Information System (WIS)Cross-programme requirements for

FWIS• Widely available and electronic (on-line) metadata and data

catalogues of all relevant data required by the WMO

Programmes

• Harmonisation of data formats, transmission standards,

archiving and distribution mechanisms to better support inter-

disciplinary use of data and products.

• Standard practices for the collection, electronic archival and

exchange of metadata, both high-level and detailed, especially

for stations and instruments.Dieter C. Schiessl, WMO, Feb 2004

Technical requirements Routine collection and automated dissemination of all

observed data and products (”push”) according to requirements.

Ad-hoc requests for data and products (”pull”)

FWIS should be reliable, cost-effective, modular, scalable, and flexible to support:

Different user groups

Various data policies, such as WMO Res. 40 and 25 Data as well as network security Integration of diverse datasets

Virtual structure of FWIS

• National Centres (NC)• Global Information System Centres (GISC)• Data Collection and Production Centres (DCPC)• Data communication network

The names of these virtual centres describe their functionality, not the actual organisational entities. There may be organisations, such as NMHSs, which combine all three virtual centres within one facility.

WMO Information System (WIS)

Data communication network

The data communication network should:

• be based on an agreed technology available to the participating

centres

• be capable of handling the data volumes

• include satellite communication channels, terrestrial links and

managed data network services

• handle the agreed transmission protocols

WMO Information System (WIS)

Impact on and benefits for WMO• FWIS concerns only telecommunication and data management

functions of the WMO and does not affect the data processing components of any WMO Programme.

• Provision of data and products on the basis of request/reply services would likely be the most significant addition.

• Programmes would benefit from the services offered by FWIS for the implementation of their data exchange tasks.

• For individual users, either a person or an institution, FWIS would provide a single entry point for any data request, be it on a routine basis by dissemination of certain user defined information sets or on an ad-hoc basis for a special data set.

• By making use of off the shelf technologies of a lower cost, FWIS would allow least developed Members, for the first time, to actively participate in the WMO Programmes, specifically the WWW.

WMO Information System (WIS)

How could FWIS be constructed?

• A GISC is a new development (metadata directories, etc.)

• The NC and DCPC basically already exist and add interfaces for

new services

• A pilot project for GISC development is the RA-VI VGISC project

• Development of more GISC’s projects, e.g. RA-II project

• Workshop in conjunction with CBS-Ext(06)

• Trials of inter-GISC communication after 2006

• Phased implementation of FWIS from 2008 onwards Dieter C. Schiessl, WMO, Feb 2004

RA-VI VGISC Project

• In 2001, RA-VI decided to create a project for the development of a prototype GISC.

• The NMSs of France, Germany and the UK have volunteered to jointly design and implement a virtual GISC (VGISC) shared by their Services and to include the ECMWF and EUMETSAT as DCPCs into the concept, funded partially as EU project SIMDAT.

• A proof-of-concept system was demonstrated during CBS XIII.

WMO Information System (WIS)

Inter-Commission Coordination Group on FWIS(ICG-FWIS)

Created in 2004 by EC-LVI through Resolution 2.

Terms of reference:

• To coordinate the refinement and consolidation of the FWIS based on the approved concept and then the implementation planning phases;

• To assess in detail the data exchange and data management requirements of WMO Programmes, at present and for the foreseeable future, which should be met by the FWIS;

• To advise the technical commissions on the development in data-communications and management functions to be required in the FWIS as regards their respective programmes;

• To guide the orderly evolution of existing WMO information systems towards FWIS;

• To address the major issues that had been identified.

WMO Information System (WIS)

Inter-Commission Coordination Group on FWISICG-FWIS (First meeting in Geneva, 12-14 January 2005) recommended coordination

mechanisms for the FWIS development and future activities: Support of the proposed CBS Inter-Programme Expert Team on Metadata

Implementation, Expert Team on FWIS GISCs and DCPCs and Expert Team on FWIS/GTS Communication Techniques and Structure.

Strongly supported the establishment of TCs’ Expert Teams that are relevant to FWIS (data-management, metadata, XML, data-exchange) and their mutual cooperation and coordination for fostering consistent and rapid FWIS development

Metadata aspects are crucial for the FWIS development and should be quickly consolidated, full endorsement of the WMO Core Profile of the ISO Metadata Standard.

Recommendation for organizing a inter-programme workshop on metadata, jointly with CBS/IPET-Metadata, by September 2005 and a workshop on GISC development, jointly with CBS/ET-GISC&DCPC (1 Q 2006)

Importance of the development of new Programme’s pilot projects to promote an early introduction of FWIS elements

Recommendation to rename FWIS as WIS (WMO Information System)

WMO Information System (WIS)

Summary• The WIS would be used for the collection and sharing of information for

all WMO and related international programmes. • The WIS vision provides a common roadmap to guide the orderly

evolution of the information system functions performed by current WMO Programmes into an integrated system that meets efficiently all of the requirements of Members for the relevant international environmental information.

• The support and involvement of regional associations and technical commissions is needed, as early as possible, in all phases of the WIS development in order to ensure a full and shared ownership of the project, and its effective implementation.

• There should be a workshop on WIS in conjunction with CBS-Ext(06) • The implementation of WIS needs to be done in a phased approach in

order to support the IPY (International Polar Year 2007/2008) and THORPEX.
