  1. WISEDistributedSystem SADL K.U. Leuven Geo Solutions NV Koen Mertens Jan De Belder Rombout Verwimp

  2. Overall agenda • Part 1: WISE ds theory • Part 2: Get it real! + demo • Part 3: Results + discussion • Part 4: Potential use WISE-ESTAT case + demo

  3. Agenda Part 2 • WISE ds goals & architecture • WISE ds technical framework

  4. Wise ds pilot goals 1 • Evaluate the overall data flow • Evaluate performance issues/requirement • Evaluate INSPIRE specifications for WISE • Evaluate the use of mixed WISE QA/QC engine for object and file based reporting

  5. WISE ds pilot goals 2 • Evaluate metadata elements required on the data but more specific to follow up the data streams • Evaluate service communication with member states • To give advice on the management/coordination required by this sort of systems.

  6. Out of scope Out of scope • All data except WFD Art 8 data • WISE data flow manager • Links with REPORTNET • No dissemination towards applications • (except 1H02 link to Eurostat pilot) • Operational production ready systems • Performance benchmarking at EEA site • Multilingual applications (only English will be used) • Full configurable applications -> goal is to illustrate the flow!

  7. Business process

  8. Logical architecture

  9. WISE DS pilot solution • Based on : • Microsoft BizTalk (business processing management software – XML messaging) • Microsoft SQL server technology • C#.NET (web services) technology • ARCGIS server + desktop technology (9.3) • Postgresql/postgis • Apache Tomcat + deegree WFS • FTP

  10. Metadata management DB • SQL Server 2005 • LUT tables: lookup values from xsd • Other tables: metadata information about contacts, reported files, file status, errors,… • Link to object geodatabase: lnkFileObject: links objectids from geodatabase to fileIDs in management database

  11. Metatadata management DB

  12. Feature database • ESRI ArcGIS ArcSDE geodatabase • Complex relationships due to xml structure • Links: ParentTableName_Id is foreign key in childTables • Physical primary keys = oid or objectid while the logical primary key = ParentTableName_Id • No physical relationships using relationship classes at ArcSDE level • Only 2 feature classes: Ground- and surfacewatermonitoringStation, the rest are tables

  13. only 3 types of objects/xml Reportedobjects in geodatabase only 2 feature classes complex relationships: different ways of being child

  14. Pilot components : Biztalk & web service interaction

  15. Logical flow • Incoming reported file passes following stages: • File Harvesting: get & archive the file • Metadata writing • File validation • Schema validation (xml schema test) • Spatial validation (spatial coordinates test) • Content validation (xml content test) • File approval or rejection • Storage of spatial & attribute information in spatial relational DB • Dashboard consultation

  16. Biztalk flow

  17. Use cases • UC 1: File posting: Member states report the WISE information through an FTP server or through the setup of a WFS service • UC 2: File harvesting: BizTalk picks up the information from the FTP or WFS. • UC 3: Controller action: The information is processed by the .NET controller web service • UC 4: QA/QC: Quality control of the content of the reported data

  18. Use cases • UC 5: GIS data handling: All GIS related operations are performed by the GIS web service, e.g. object storage in the wise object geodatabase • UC 6: Metadata handling: Metadata about the reported data is maintained in the management database • UC 7: Dashboard usage: The dashboard facilitates information exchange from the management database

  19. UC1: File Posting

  20. UC2: File Harvesting

  21. UC3: Controller action

  22. UC4: QA/QC

  23. UC5: File Harvesting

  24. UC6: Metadata handling

  25. UC7: Dashboard usage

  26. Demo • FTP • WFS • Dashboard

  27. FTP upload

  28. FTP upload

  29. Receive email alerts

  30. Example Email

  31. WFS running on remote server

  32. Object Database schema

  33. MetaData database schema(management db)

  34. Tbl_contacts

  35. Tbl_errorlist

  36. Tbl_reportedfiles

  37. Tbl_filestatus

  38. Object database in web viewer

  39. Decision steps in development • Generic & Extensible Framework of services • Data flow governed by BizTalk (XML intermediate files) • Custom code available as web methods • Instead of “black box” of code • Priorities in development • Technical issues over organisational issues • Time frame too limited for extensive user testing • Primary goal was to demonstrate the feasibility of the automated dataflow • Technological choices • FTP: easily implementable at MS side • WFS: advanced implementations required • WFS – complex features: currently only 1 solution • DEEGREE-WFS

  40. Findings • FTP • No complex IT requirements on the MS side • Limited reuse of ART 8 data for dissemination • WFS • For serving complex features: only 1 solution: DEEGREE WFS • More complex IT architecture required at MS side • Tomcat + Postgres/postgis + Deegree • Datamodel according to ART 8 schema • WFS = service : reuse of ART 8 data for dissemination
