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
CEOS WGISS & Subgroup Meeting, Tromso, May, 2004
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.
CEOS WGISS & Subgroup Meeting, Tromso, May, 2004
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.
CEOS WGISS & Subgroup Meeting, Tromso, May, 2004
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.
CEOS WGISS & Subgroup Meeting, Tromso, May, 2004
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.
