Implementing Rules vs Technical Guidance


Initial Operating Capability Task ForceMain Outcome


View Services Technical Guidance

� View Service Implementation

• Based on ISO 19128:2005 (EN)

(WMS 1.3)

� Binding & Protocols

• As mandated by the ISO

19128:2005 (EN)

� Discovery Service Implementation

• Based on CSW 2.0.2 ISO AP

� Binding & Protocols

• As mandated by the CSW

• Extensions for

– Metadata : INSPIRE extension

– Language : INSPIRE extension


Get Discovery/View Service Metadata

� 2 scenarios to choose from for publishing INSPIRE service metadata in

extended capabilities

• Scenario 1

– By reference to an INSPIRE service metadata record in a Discovery

service

• Scenario 2

– Provide full INSPIRE service metadata

� To fulfill the specific language requirements of the NS regulation, a language

section needs to be added in the extended capability of the service.

CRs to OGC and ISO/TC 211

Request ID: 137

Alignment multilingualism Inspire view service with OGC and ISO/TC 211

standards (at least OWS Common 2.0) (All INSPIRE network services are

subject to languages support not only view)

Request ID: 138

Service metadata WMS 1.3.0 and ISO 19119 differs: alignment is needed

in future versions of OWS common 2.0 with (newest version of) ISO 19115

(the service metadata model of ISO 19119 is included in newest version of

ISO 19115)


INSPIRE Geoportal - Operational


• Operational

• Contract awarded to Planetek

Italia s.r.l

• First public release expected

end 2012

• Based on Open Source S/W

• Components will be released

under OS license

INSPIRE Geoportal - Operational


INSPIRE Geoportal development: status

� Kick-off: 10/03/2010

� Main activities in the first months:

• Drafting of vision document & definition of the system architecture

• User requirement phase:

– Identification of major issues

– Drafting of questionnaire & Workshop with IOC-TF at INSPIRE

conference

10/03/2010 27/06/2010


• Based on the prototype geoportal

• Will be used till the operational version is ready

• Currently in

IOC testing

• Public release

• expected during the

full operating

capability (nov 2011)

• Open Source

• Apache SOLR

• Openlayers

INSPIRE Geoportal Pre-operational


INSPIRE Geoportal – pre-operational


� Currently testing services with IOC

• Technical Guidance 3.0 & Online schemas will be updated if

necessary

� TG for download and transformation services

� Architecture

• Authentication – Authorisation – Accounting

• Registers

What’s next?


Overview of IOC Services

• Total number of discovery services 26

– 2 are fully TG 3.0 compliant all others partially or no compliancy

• Approx. 240000 Metadata

• Problems with schemas:

– Errors with basic OGC CSW 2.0.2 and metadata (ISO 19139)

– Metadata not according to Metadata TG

• View services are found through the Discovery service

– In total 270 metadata for services

– 42 representing View services with ~310 layers

– Most ISO 19128 (OGC 1.3) based, others WMS 1.1.1

– Only a few with full service and layer metadata (TG 3.0 compliant)

Note: Results above are based on preliminary tests.
