GEOSS ADC Architecture WorkshopBreak-out summary:Clearinghouse, Catalogs, and Registries Doug Nebert U.S. Geological Survey ddnebert@usgs.gov February 5, 2008
Integration Issues • Catalogues registered with GEOSS have a wide variety of standardization. Protocols include: • ISO23950 (Z39.50) “GEO” Profile Version 2.2 • FGDC (CSDGM Metadata) • ANZLIC Metadata • ISO 19115 Metadata • OGC Catalogue Service for the Web (Version 2.0.1 and 2.0.2) • ebRIM Profile (incl ISO and EO Extension Packages) • FGDC Profile • ISO 19115 Profile • SRU/SRW OpenSearch • OAI-Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) • Dublin/Darwin Core Metadata • Web-accessible folder/ftp?
Who are the primary user types? • Needs to be addressed/documented in CFP for: • Registries • Clearinghouse • Catalogues
What resource types should be registered? • Consider service, data set, data collection (series), items as alternatives and the ability to transition from one to the other. • Current results are too heterogeneous
What protocols can be expected? • Let responses to CFP identify existing and additional possible choices • Support test harness capability to self-test registered catalog service types • Clearinghouse instances must expose identical service interfaces for Web Portal and application clients
What metadata formats are found? • ISO 19139 and Profiles (INSPIRE, ANZLIC, NAP) • FGDC CSDGM • Dublin Core • Darwin Core
What metadata? How should it be presented? • Need to refine the “core” metadata results that are handled and presented by the Clearinghouse as an intersection of data elements or “Summary” type record synthesized from the remote response • Develop/share style sheets for the presentation of the records • Link through to original full record for optional presentation
Specific recommendations (agreements for Clearinghouse testing and implementation) • Performance issues and scalability need to be addressed, usage expectations, type & volume of use • Typical use cases of query and presentation and load handling need to be included to gracefully handle numerous users and query loads • Focus on limited set of “well-known” combinations of protocols and content standards and their versions
