2 Outline Why we need the Spatial Information Services Stack (SISS) Services status AuScope Discovery portal demonstration –Access and functionality  Google interface –GeoNetworks  Registry Services –Geodesy/GPS  ‘Simple’ Web Feature Services –Mineral Occurrence  ‘Complex’ Web Feature Services –Geology  Web Mapping Services –National Virtual Core Library  images –Data Downloads Future directions

3 Data Structures Proprietary Software Versions of Software Client Part of our problem…data access is not standardised across organisations

4 Interoperability Provider benefits  delivery to multiple clients User benefits  access to multiple providers GIS Report other applications Standard format WMS WFS GSV GA MRT NTGS Data Providers

5 Community Agreed Service Interfaces and Information Models AuScope service catalog Standard Vocabularies Vocabulary Service Service Registry Discovery Layer Exchange Layer Resources Complex feature Discovery Portal Government Department Data Geological Survey Web Feature Service (WFS)‏ Spatial Information Services Stack (SISS): Service status 1 June 2008 URN Resolver Service X X X X X X X X

8 AuScope Geoscience Network: Data types Structured Unstructured Large Volume Binary Files Hyperspectral data Geophysical data Satellite data BLOBs Point GPS Mineral Occurrence Geochron Curve (ID) Well log Geophys Profile Flight line Surface (2D) Geological Map Cross section Swath Solid (3D) 3D Geological Model Lidar cloud Available via AuScope

9 Discovery Portal – Surfing the Earth Model

10 Take home AuScope Grid has: extended OpenSource software to deliver “complex feature” services Developed software to ease production of community schema Prepared preliminary vocabulary services Made use of the Catalog services Developed a discovery and display interface that handles “complex feature” services (AuScope Portal) Has achieved interoperability of point, 1D and 2D data (and is working on 3D data)
