7. How ?

8. 8 I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. Thomas Edison Try and try and try and try...

9. Try and try in an organized way community + process

10. 10 Engage with OGC

11. OGC’s Approach to Advancing Interoperability © 2009 Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. 11 Interoperability Program (IP ) - a global, innovative, hands-on rapid prototyping and testing program designed to accelerate interface development and validation, and bring interoperability to the market Specification Development Program – Consensus standards process similar to other Industry consortia (World Wide Web Consortium, OMA, etc.) Outreach and Community Adoption Program – education and training, encourage take up of OGC specifications, business development, communications programs Demo & Reports

12. Types of Interoperability Projects Test beds are fast-paced, multi-vendor collaborative efforts to define, design, develop, and test candidate interface and encoding specifications. These draft specifications are then reviewed, revised, and, potentially, approved in the OGC Specification Program. Pilot Projects apply and test OpenGIS specifications in real world applications using standards based commercial off-the-shelf (SCOTS) products that implement OpenGIS Specifications. Pilot projects help users understand how to best implement interoperable geoprocessing that meets their requirements for application, spatial data, and geoprocessing service sharing. These projects also help identify gaps for further work. Interoperability Experiments are brief, low-overhead, formally structured and approved initiatives led and executed by OGC members to achieve specific technical objectives that further the OGC Technical Baseline. 12 © 2009 Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc.

26. Phase II More topics than in Phase I Different interests New participants SWE Standards are more accepted, and more tools have been developed...

27. 1. Automated metadata/software installation via PUCK protocol. 2. SWE Common encoding for vertical and horizontal profiles (e.g. ADCP) and trajectories (AUV). 3. Long time series services (e.g. 20 years of data). 4. Offering of complex systems (e.g. observations systems containing other systems) such as collection of stations. 5. Linking data from SOS to out-of-band offerings. 6. Representation of vectors and scalars in SOS vs semantics. 7. Semantic Registry and Services. 8. Alert services for fast detection of coastal events. Offerings that are event based (e.g. all tsunami sensors within +/-12 hrs of an tsunami). 9. XSLT and SOS responses. 10. CSW Registry. Phase II Topics

28. 11. Portal - Human Interface to discover and download access data 12. Development of KML encodings for SOS. 13. WCS / SOS Chaining 14. NetCDF/OpenDAP and SOS Chaining Gridded data and stations. 15. IEEE-1451/OGC-SWE harmonization 16. Instruments control. 17. SOS WaterML harmonization 18. Incorporation of QA/QC into SOS services. 19. Deployment of SOS services 20. SOS client – visualization 21. Guidance for capturing metadata fields and lineage using SensorML. Phase II Topics

43. Architecture Board Approval Conditions The IE is focused on an interoperability issue related to the OGC Technical Baseline The IE completion timeframe is reasonable (4- 6 months) The IE is “lightweight” – focuses on a single interoperability issue All materials, documents, lessons learned, and other findings developed as a result of the IE will be shared with the OGC membership © 2009 Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. 43
