1 GALEON Phase 1 Reports, Phase 2 Plans Ben Domenico (coordinating reports for the GALEON team) March 2006
2 Accomplishments Interoperability experiments with WCS client and server implementations at numerous sites (status reports on GALEON wiki and OGC portal) Several recommendations for changes to WCS specification (formal documents on OGC portal) Initiatives underway for GML applications profiles for explicit netCDF semantics (ncML-GML, CSML) Dialog initiated with GMLJP2 group to determine applicability to netCDF datasets
3 Plans for Phase 2 For continued experimentation with WCS implementation, use GALEON OGCnetwork –Additional client & implementations –New datasets For WCS and GML specifications, continue as OGC GALEON Interoperability Experiment Collaborate closely with: –OGC GEOSS Services Network (GSN) –GMLJP2
4 Primary OGC Interface Issues NetCDF as a sixth WCS encoding format OR Develop netCDF application profile AND Do away with fixed list of encoding formats Develop WCS application profile for netCDF Develop GML application schemas for netCDF semantics (ncML-GML, CSML, GMLJP2?)
