NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)
• Presenter Name : Michelle Gierarch• The Jet Propulsion Laboratory is the lead U.S.
center for robotic exploration of the solar system, and conducts major programs in space-based Earth sciences.
• Are OGC Web Services a standard technology in your organization? I– We are trying to be compatible with OGC standards
such as WMS, WCS, and WFS, but they are not our default "standard" protocol.
![Page 4: OGC Survey for DMAC ST](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5681665a550346895dd9db68/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
OGC Relation
• Are you a member (yes or no) - YES• If so, which forums do you participate?
– YES .. But no specifics
![Page 5: OGC Survey for DMAC ST](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5681665a550346895dd9db68/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
OGC Standards in your organization
• OGC standards being used– Lunar Mapping and Modeling Project (LMMP), uses
WMS/WCS/WFS– WMS to provide rendered image(png and jpeg) from L2 and L3
data to our various tools.– WCS ( this is on its way. We have services already that are ready
to use this protocol. ) – WFS to search and provide information about natural events like
hurricane…• Planned OGC standards to be used in the next three years:
– have plan to use OGC standards where applicable on all of our web services.

Pros ans Cons of OGC standards
• PRO: - Basic profiles of various OGC standards do insure a useful compatibility level between applications
• PRO: - Use of OGC standards fosters collaboration with other users
• CON: - Small community of OGC participants leads to a proliferation of rapidly evolving specifications of little use, sometimes even overlapping ones

• If so, which forums do you participate? Public?
![Page 10: OGC Survey for DMAC ST](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5681665a550346895dd9db68/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
OGC Standards in your organization• OGC standards being used
– Here are some of the ways in which we use OGC web services:– We harvest metadata via WCS, WMF, WFS & SOS getCapabilities documents (for IMOS
and AODN observations).– We support CSW through Geonetwork for search access via the IMOS/AODN portal, and
potentially other clients.– SOS is also used to publish data for the South Esk sensor web project.– GeoServer is used to publish WMS/WFS (for use by the IMOS/AODN portal).– some IMOS data is published via THREDDS, which implements WMS (ncWMS) and WCS.– We will generate KML.– We use SensorML for the South Esk project, and there is talk of a sensor repository that
will support SensorML.
• Planned OGC standards to be used in the next three years:– Non-specific, see answer to next question.
![Page 11: OGC Survey for DMAC ST](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5681665a550346895dd9db68/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Non OGC standards
• Which non OGC standards are you using and why ?– We use or consider many standards such as OPeNDAP,
REST services, OAI-PMH, StarFL, ISO metadata standards etc. Sometimes these overlap or compete with OGC standards. We try to adopt the most widely used standards (where possible). We are, nevertheless, supportive of the OGC standards and would like to see these improved and further adopted in our organisation where appropriate.
![Page 12: OGC Survey for DMAC ST](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5681665a550346895dd9db68/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Challenges
• List of Challenges– In general, the standards don't always fit our
needs. I don't think there's and easy solution as making the standards more general isn't necessarily useful either. The OGC standards are also sometimes complicated and not consistently implemented, which reduces interoperability.

Challenges
• Complexity and non-homogenous specifications
• Client tools to support OGC services• Performance (practicality of some standards)• Import into ESRI products a hassle. We end
up coming up with a custom solution.• Lack of testing suite to test developed OGC
services
![Page 19: OGC Survey for DMAC ST](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5681665a550346895dd9db68/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

![Page 24: OGC Survey for DMAC ST](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5681665a550346895dd9db68/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
OGC Relation
• Are you a member (yes or no) - no• If so, which forums do you participate?
![Page 25: OGC Survey for DMAC ST](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5681665a550346895dd9db68/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
OGC Standards in your organization
• OBIS web site (www.obis.org) is built around GeoServer, so has OGC services built-in.
• It provides data via WFS and WMS, and KML
![Page 26: OGC Survey for DMAC ST](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5681665a550346895dd9db68/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Non OGC standards
• Which non OGC standards are you using and why ?– GCMD for metadata (also FGDC within OBIS USA); – DiGIR for data exchange protocol; Darwin Core for
exchange format.
![Page 27: OGC Survey for DMAC ST](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5681665a550346895dd9db68/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Challenges
• getCapabilities: We haven’t allowed direct public access to the OGC capabilities of our GeoServer yet, as this would 1/ make it difficult for us to monitor use, and 2/ we're afraid that users are going to swamp our servers with data requests that are to broad; so we wanted to build a layer between OGC and the user, trying to log activity, and stop overly broad requests.
![Page 28: OGC Survey for DMAC ST](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5681665a550346895dd9db68/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Challenges
• Too many layers: One of the problems we were facing while building the web site is that we have too many layers - each taxon is a layer, and there are several 1000s of those; so we can't predefine them, we have to be able to query the database on the fly. We worked with Chris Holmes and his people at The Open Plan Project to extend the functionality of GeoServer. It has worked very well.

![Page 31: OGC Survey for DMAC ST](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5681665a550346895dd9db68/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
OGC Relation
• EDAC is a University member of OGC• Thus far we have primarily lurked in the
various forums looking for indications of where the standards are heading to facilitate our project planning.
![Page 32: OGC Survey for DMAC ST](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5681665a550346895dd9db68/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
OGC Standards in your organization
• OGC standards being used– WMS/Time-enabled WMS, WFS, WCS, CSW, KML– Purpose
• Geospatial Clearinghouse (http://rgis.unm.edu)• Core application infrastructure: data access & exchange, web mapping• Content delivery to non-geo specialists
• Pros & Cons– Pros: broad support in a wide variety of client platforms and
programming frameworks/libraries– Cons: server and client implementations remain uneven in their
capabilities, stability, and performance. • Planned OGC standards to be used in the next three years:
– WPS
![Page 33: OGC Survey for DMAC ST](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5681665a550346895dd9db68/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Non OGC standards• Which non OGC standards are you using and why ?
– OPeNDAP – as an alternative access model for data published through the THREDDS server platform
– OAI-PMH – metadata harvesting with other systems for repurposing of metadata also published via CSW
– X39.50 – additional catalog service protocol provided by the GeoNetwork platform being used for catalog services
– HTTP (REST) – general web services “standard” for functionality not directly supported by OGC and other standards
– ISO19115 (and related standards: 19115-2, 19139) – metadata content model and XML encoding
![Page 34: OGC Survey for DMAC ST](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5681665a550346895dd9db68/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Challenges
• Slow uptake & understanding by end-user community => services as infrastructure that end-users don’t necessarily know is there. Need for tools and wrappers for services as the elements that clients interact with.
• Incomplete/unstable implementation by some data providers (e.g. incorrect representation of time parameters in time-enabled WMS)
• Need for expanded parameterization within KML for more efficient time support (i.e. adopt ISO model used in time-enabled WMS)
![Page 35: OGC Survey for DMAC ST](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5681665a550346895dd9db68/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
WMS / Time-enabled WMS
• Dust Forecast Products• Publication of hourly dust forecast products for the
greater Southwest region of the US in a variety of formats– Animated GIFs for direct linking in web pages– Custom web mapping clients– KML files for visualization in Google Earth
• Issues– Limited direct client support for time-enabled WMS requires
developing custom conversion tools and application interfaces
![Page 36: OGC Survey for DMAC ST](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5681665a550346895dd9db68/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
WCS
• Data exchange for distributed environmental modeling
• Publication of meteorological forecast products and low-resolution dust forecasts for use in setting boundary conditions and parameterizing high-resolution dust models
• Issues– No significant issues. As this is an automated
system, client support was not a large issue.
![Page 37: OGC Survey for DMAC ST](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5681665a550346895dd9db68/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
WMS => KML• Automated re-packaging data published as WMS into KML
for streamlined access and delivery to non-geospatial users• Developed scripted converters from WMS capabilities XML to
KML wrapper for WMS map images– XSLT for WMS -> KML– Python script for time-enabled WMS - > KML
• Issues– Temporal dimension in capabilities XML files published by some
services do not comply with OGC model– XSLT method of conversion of time-enabled WMS -> KML exposed
some recursion limitations in traditional XML processing tools
![Page 38: OGC Survey for DMAC ST](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5681665a550346895dd9db68/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

• If so, which forums do you participate?
![Page 55: OGC Survey for DMAC ST](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5681665a550346895dd9db68/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
OGC Standards in your organization
• OGC standards being used (for example)– MVCO – Sensor Web Enablement– BCO-DMO - WMS– Upper-Ocean Processes Group –
NetCDF/THREDDS• Planned OGC standards to be used in the next
three years:
![Page 56: OGC Survey for DMAC ST](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5681665a550346895dd9db68/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Non OGC standards
• Which non OGC standards are you using and why ? W3C – OWS/RDF
For example: The SensorML description files reference OWS ontologies (registered terms). This enables data aggregation centers to map our definitions to others (for example my spiketest to your outlier or my qcflag-good (value=0) to your good-flag (value=3)
![Page 57: OGC Survey for DMAC ST](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5681665a550346895dd9db68/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Challenges• List of Challenges – time-consuming and tedious metadata Most standards implementations are geared towards discovery and transport of observations. Implementation of data quality assessment capabilities tends to make descriptions complex, creating a hurtle that no one seems willing to take – we need to develop tools that automate the generation of metadata in a standards-based (OGC) framework and enable the discovery and assessment of meta-data, along with observational data delivery. Why aren’t we grasping this unprecedented opportunity to provide a solid foundation in our evolving earth observing systems?

Sensor Web Enablement (1.0) SensorML for DescribeSensor
O&M for GetObservation
• Purpose: enable dynamic quality assessment of real-time oceanographic data
• Noteworthy: http://q2o.whoi.edu/node/129 model for the description of how an observation came to be from observed properties including: capabilities, characteristics and provenance of sensor(s), deployment (s) and processing (process descriptions and qc tests and results).Next steps:• Need to infuse/harmonize ISO 11915-2 and update to SWE 2.0 • what we call content-rich – other’s call complicated! Cultural hurdle!• Need to get someone (NDBC?) to ingest and utilize the capability (The
capability needs to be exercised.)

![Page 63: OGC Survey for DMAC ST](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5681665a550346895dd9db68/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Non OGC standards
• Which non OGC standards are you using and why?– We use technologies based upon NetCDF but
which themselves are not OGC standards– Global Telecommunications System, operational
mandate.
![Page 64: OGC Survey for DMAC ST](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5681665a550346895dd9db68/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Challenges• List of Challenges
– New and unproven technologies require extensive experimentation and concept testing
– Lack of deployed systems to judge – Complex and interwoven standards are often difficult
to interpret and understand, again, more pragmatic experience and documentation. OGC Standards, particularly those written in the new style, are not easy to read and understand the big picture. How are these useful to me today?
– Lack of clients, particularly those that allow OGC web services to be used from within common tools.
![Page 65: OGC Survey for DMAC ST](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5681665a550346895dd9db68/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
OGC Standard (and versions)• SOS 1.0 (GML, O&M 1.0, SensorML1.0.1, moving toward SWE 2.0, )• Purpose (data type): Web Service providing access to, primarily, in
situ ocean data (moored buoys, gliders, shore stations, vertical profile or sounding data)
• Noteworthy (cool things you have done with it)• Issues: Many, primarily listed on challenges page. Difficulty in
implementation also inhibits testing for some of the other issues that will likely pop up in the future.– What are the throughput limitations (kbps) and are any inherent in the
service or completely related to implementation?– How can we encourage interaction with instrument providers? SensorML
direct from the sensor or manufacturer etc?– Need for lightweight profiles, but not too light.

Non OGC standards
• We collect nearly 10M records of tidal water quality data each year. Much of this data is a deliverable to the EPA Chesapeake Bay Program and the submission format is via a web upload of monthly data sets in a EPA format that dates back to the 1980’s. Some of our newer data via automated data sondes is made available through our website www.eyesonthebay.net, but currently is not available via services.

NOAA/NODC
• Presenter Name : Krisa M. Arzayus• 1 sentence about the organization: The
Nation’s archive for oceanographic data• Are OGC Web Services a standard technology

OGC Standards in your organization
• OGC standards being used– WMS, WCS, CSW, KML and also Filter
Encoding(this is really part of other standards)• Planned OGC standards to be used in the next
three years:– NetCDF-CF and Sensor Observation Service (SOS) ?
Also, DAP if it becomes OGC standard.
![Page 76: OGC Survey for DMAC ST](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5681665a550346895dd9db68/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Non OGC standards• Which non OGC standards are you using and why ?Probably the most important standards that we use are http and ftp since I guess
users understand these the best. Most of the web service standards are built on top of these standards. Example, OpenDAP. We use OpenDAP, since it is designed for accessing scientific data – grids & sequences, which is what we have.
As far as data format standards, we use NetCDF/HDF which are sort of becoming de-facto standards for complex data. But NODC does not impose any restriction on the originator format and so we probably have data in too many standard formats. We don’t necessarily “use” the standards.
All the code lists and digital standards for Oceanographic data developed by oceanographic community. I don’t know all of them.
We use the Open Archival Information System standard (OAIS) to model our archive on.
Last, but not the least, FGDC and ISO standards for metadata representation.

Challenges
• List of ChallengesRapid evolution of some of the OGC standards poses a
problem for adoption.Standards for observational data is somewhat lacking
with OGC, at least until recently. OGC standards for vector data are too complex for observational data which are generally just point data.
![Page 78: OGC Survey for DMAC ST](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5681665a550346895dd9db68/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)

Challenges
• List of Challenges– Data Encoding Standards – Biggest one from My
perspective. No Standard way to encode the data from SOS
– Need a way to define the interface to SOS service. • What Data Encoding• What semantics for specific operations• What semantics fo “standard” data fields• Etc.
– Need a ‘Streaming” type of data service suitable for large data sets such as history, profiles, and transects.

Challenges
• List of Challenges– one challenge is simply staff time to implement and maintain
services– a secondary challenge is server performance: some services
consume a lot of CPU to generate results; or consume a lot of storage space for cache
• Less challenging:– software cost is rarely a challenge because solutions are open-
source– given some configuration and management cost, source data and
OBIS-USA standards/processes make data compatible with geospatial services such as WMS
![Page 103: OGC Survey for DMAC ST](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081512/5681665a550346895dd9db68/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)
WMS
• Purpose (data type) Serving Marine BioGeographic occurrence data from many different datasets in a standard interoperable format
• Noteworthy (cool things you have done with it) Providing data from 150 datasets to Federal data aggregators/portals (Data.gov) without having to repeat 150 different configurations; a single configuration in WMS was able to serve all OBIS-USA standard data
• Issues We are evaluating additional detail from OBIS-USA that we would like to serve. We may need to implement WFS in addition to WMS; we are uncertain until we do the detailed implementation if this will satisfy all requirements.
