Helping the World to Communicate Geographically Copyright © 2009 Open Geospatial Consortium Follow-on of working thread: Web Services Web services discussions raised an issue on the use of Catalogues versus GetCapabilities or Filtering of Web services and consistency of these approaches when large number of layers –Requirement to ‘filter’ or reduce data of interest for consideration, whether using catalogues, filters, services, or GetCapabilities –Need consistent querying and responses across various standards –Some data models not amenable to listing of atomic components – need ‘chunking’ or processing –Attempts to address this in WMS resulted in various different approaches to achieve reasonable performance and responses E.g. EO Best Practices associates several datasets to a single WMS layer, with selection using the TIME keyword.
