DSTT Report - OGC Services May 8, 2002Page 8 Allan Doyle OGC Service Registry Concepts Registry should be able to handle any kind of service. Should allow searches against more criteria than WMT-1 catalog Each service’s metadata should be composed of common elements where possible Initially described in the IP2000 Basic Service Model WMS maps WFS feature data WCS coverage data M11 <gml:LineString srsName="EPSG:4326"> 0, , ,60.9 motorway 11 Metadata Registry M11 <gml:LineString srsName="EPSG:4326"> 0, , ,60.9 motorway 11 Metadata

DSTT Report - OGC Services May 8, 2002Page 11 Allan Doyle Some key points Most real, operational web services exist on intranets and extranets. There is little evidence of web services on the “open” internet. Web services are not about “the web”. Web services are producer-oriented tools. Consumers of web services see a carefully controlled entry point. End- users generally see portals.

DSTT Report - OGC Services May 8, 2002Page 12 Allan Doyle The Eight Fallacies of Distributed Computing How does the GRID measure up? Peter Deutsch Essentially everyone, when they first build a distributed application, makes the following eight assumptions. All prove to be false in the long run and all cause big trouble and painful learning experiences. 2.Latency is zero 3.Bandwidth is infinite 4.The network is secure 5.Topology doesn't change 6.There is one administrator 7.Transport cost is zero 8.The network is homogeneous – 1. The network is reliable

DSTT Report - OGC Services May 8, 2002Page 13 Allan Doyle How hard is it to wrap an OGC service in a GRID wrapper? How hard is it to build OGC services that are clients of GRID services? Can an OGC service be moved to where the data is? Can an OGC service be moved to where the compute cycles are available? Wrapping network service
