  1. BNSC OGC Activities Presentation at Joint WGISS/Subgroup Meeting Tromso, May 2004 Wyn Cudlip BNSC/QinetiQ

  2. Introduction • As part of its overall International Co-operation Programme in EO, BNSC is supporting a number of small study/technology demonstrators relating to OGC (and GRID): • ICEDS: Integrated CEOS European Data Server • EMIR: Environment for Metadata and Image Retrieval • Support for the OGC EO SIG • Study on the relevance of OGC/GRID for GMES • Study on Harmonisation of Met. and EO Data Formats • These are mostly due to finish over the summer. • Should be able to make results available at next WGISS meeting Also • Provides partial support for Pilot Ocean Project

  3. ICEDS: Integrated CEOS European Data Server • To provide support for the WGISS Landsat/SRTM Project. • To investigate the issues around using WMS, WFS and WCS to serve global datasets of Landsat and SRTM data. • Presentation to be given on Thursday afternoon.

  4. EMIREnvironment for Metadata and Image Retrieval • Provide OGC interfaces into legacy catalogue and data archives • Continuation of GAZE (presented at last meeting) • GML Access from Z39.50 Environments • Access to Z39.50 catalogue systems • (e.g. FGDC Clearing House, UK GI Gateway and UK NERC Data centres). • Requested data is hosted, on the fly, on OGC WMS or WCS

  5. Gaze Concept

  6. Metadata in GML displayed in ArcView

  7. Browse displayed via WMS

  8. Support for OGC EO SIG • Activity to be carried out by Tom Lancaster of Inforterra. • Attend OGC EO SIG meetings But also • Try to harmonise use of OGC Standards in the UK. Including • OGC Common Service • Digital Rights Management

  9. Relevance OGC and GRID for GMES • Small study by SciSys • Global Monitoring for Environment and Security. • Major initiative of the European Union (EU) and ESA to exploit EO data (and in-situ data) for the benefit of the citizen. • Many large (and over-lapping) projects to develop new services that can benefit for EO satellite data • Study will aim to emphasis benefits of exploiting open standards and improved harmonisation.

  10. Harmonisation of Met. and E.O. data formats • Study to look at the current state of the art of Met. and E.O. Data Formats. By LogicaCMG. • Make possible recommendations as to how interoperability may be improved. • Study endorsed by Eumetsat. • Use of OGC Standards for access to Met. data.

  11. Conclusion • UK (and European) emphasis on the provision of Services based on EO data, rather than the “supply of images”. • OGC Standards can be an essential part of this. • Commercial exploitation of GRID developments is a little further off.
