2. WIS The future WMO Information System (WIS) will provide «a single coordinated global infrastructure for the collection and sharing of information in support of all WMO and related international programmes». Central to the WIS are logical metadata catalogues, including the catalogue of Discovery Access and Retrieval (DAR) Metadata, which will provide a global view of all data and products avaliable from WMO Programmes and related international programmes. All WIS functions concerned by DAR metadata (Global Information Service Centres (GISC), Data Collection and Production Centres (DCPC), National Centres (NC)) (More on WIS in Appendix 1…) General T h e W M O C o r e P r o f I l e – J e a n - P I e r r e A u b a g n a c – M é t é o – F r a n c e D S I / D E V – 3 0 s e p t e m b e r 2 0 0 9 Why ? Qualified decisions need information – geographic information an important part (Heterogeneous) Geographic Information from various sources needs to be integrated and interoperable Geographic information needs to be discovered, used - and reused Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI) provide an unified approach to these issues: «framework of spatial data, metadata, users and tools that are interactively connected in order to use spatial data in an efficient and flexible way» or «technology, policies, standards, human resources, and related activities necessary to acquire, process, distribute, use, maintain, and preserve spatial data» Standards are an essential and necessary part

3. Interoperability (as defined by ISO 19101) «ability of a system or system component to provide information sharing and inter-application co- operative process control» ability to find, understand and employ information and processing tools when they are needed, independent of physical location. Several aspects: Network Protocol Interoperability (transmission of signals, communication between applications) File System Interoperability (transfer and access of files, file naming conventions, access controls, etc) Remote Procedure Calls Search and Access Databases (ability to query & manipulate data in a database distributed over different platforms) Geographic Information Systems (GIS) interoperability (data sharing and transparent access to data, syntactic interoperability) Application interoperability (consistently using and representing data, or semantic interoperability) General T h e W M O C o r e P r o f I l e – J e a n - P I e r r e A u b a g n a c – M é t é o – F r a n c e D S I / D E V – 3 0 s e p t e m b e r 2 0 0 9 Interoperability between systems has several aspects: a) Network Protocol interoperability describes basic communication between systems. Communication occurs on two levels. At the higher level, there is the communication between applications. The lower level describes the transmission of signals. Interoperability is required at this level to ensure signals can be sent and received, signals are timely, networks are expandable, and security is intact. b) File System interoperability requires that a file can be opened and displayed in its native format on another system. This includes interoperability for transfer and access of files, as well as naming conventions, access control, access methods and file management. c) Remote Procedure Calls refer to a set of operations that execute procedures on remote systems. This form of interoperability standardizes how programs run under another operating system. d) Search and Access Databases provide the ability to query and manipulate data in a common database that is distributed over different platforms. Interoperability challenges include the location and access to the stored data. e) Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are specific to the geographic community. Interoperability between GIS implies transparent access to data, the sharing of spatial databases and other services regardless of the platform. To achieve interoperability between GIS, a geodata model, service model, and information communities model must be utilized. Syntactic interoperability refers to the ability for different systems to interpret the syntax of the data the same way. f) Application interoperability refers to the ability for different GIS applications to use and represent data in the same manner. To do this, semantic interoperability is required. Semantic interoperability refers to applications interpreting data consistently in the same manner in order to provide the intended representation of the data. Semantic interoperability may be achieved using translators to convert data from a database to an application. The schemas and implementations described in the ISO 19100 series of standards support this level of interoperability.

4. Relevant international Initiatives: Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) 10 year plan of the Group on Earth Observation (GEO) to «connect the producers of environmental data and decision-support tools with the end users of these products, with the aim of enhancing the relevance of Earth observations to global issues. The end result is to be a global public infrastructure that generates comprehensive, near-real-time environmental data, information and analyses for a wide range of users» Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES), joint initiative of the EU and European Space Agency (ESA) to «rationalize the use of multiple-sources data to get a timely and quality information, services and knowledge, and to provide autonomous and independent access to information in relation to environment and security». Based on 4 pillars: space component, in-situ measurements, data harmonization and standardization and services to users. Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE) «aims to create a European Union (EU) Spatial Data Infrastructure. This will enable the sharing of environmental spatial information among public sector organisations and better facilitate public access to spatial information across Europe» Etc.

5.  «data about data» «Meta» is greek for «that which takes over or includes an object or a science». Metadata are required for various purposes, for example for the use of the data (e.g. sensor types used at an observing station) or for the discovery of the data (what, where, when, who).

6.  «one man’s metadata is another man’s data» Metadata has different meanings in different circumstances. This Taxonomy proposes possible relationship between Summary (possibly only identification information), Discovery, Browse (extended description) and Application Metadata (how to use the data). Confusion can arise when different uses of metadata are confounded.  IPET-MI 1 quotes the NDG Metadata Taxonomy as an example (NDG is UK’s National Environmental Research Council Data Grid) What is metadata ?

8.  Who is ISO ? The International Standardization Organization (ISO) is a non-governmental organization aiming at producing international standards covering industrial or commercial domains. Created after WWII in 1947 as a worldwide federation of over 20 national standardization institutes including the american ASA, french AFNOR or british BSI. 158 countries are represented on the basis of one member per country. Work is organized in 200 or so Technical Committees (TC).  Who is ISO Technical Committee TC 211 ? TC 211 is tasked with «Geographic Information / Geomatics». Created in 1994, TC 211 has produced 47 norms. Includes 32 participating countries and 30 observing countries. Work is organized in 6 Working Groups. Multiple external liaisons (FAO, ICAO, etc) including WMO, internal liaisons with other ISO TCs. 36-39 months from the proposal of a new Work Item to its integration in the International Standard.
