Agenda OpenWIS overview OpenWIS Consortium Seoul WIS Workshop, Jeju, 6-9 November 2012

OpenWIS project : Project started in 2009 4 National Met Services and 1 service provider to build a common software offering GISC, DCPC and NC functions Open Source Interoperable standard Seoul WIS Workshop, Jeju, 6-9 November 2012

OpenWIS: an Open Source software Based on open-source components Development and integration sub-contracted to IT company 370 requirements in ITT Technology : Java, Linux, Web services guaranteed to be maintained and sustained by Partners Evolutions managed by the partners Seoul WIS Workshop, Jeju, 6-9 November 2012

OpenWIS features Versatile Fulfil the function of GISC, DCPC, NC by parameterisation Allowing a variety of deployment strategies to meet local constraints (security, federation of centres, …) Fully interoperable based on international standard (ISO, OGC,…) Robust (7/24), internal redundancy, backup mechanisms between centres Modular Portable Fit for now, scalable for the future Adaptable: Look and feel GUI Generic interface / Harness to fit to local interface of your own Information System Possible reuse of software component (public data portal / SESAR programme…) Seoul WIS Workshop, Jeju, 6-9 November 2012

OpenWIS functions A unique software to fulfil GISC, DCPC or NC functions Single Entry point to met information Maintain and publish catalogues and metadata Discovery and search data, access and download Synchronise metadata with other Centre Routine data exchange Supply data on request Subscription to services Manage users & data policy Maintain 24h cache of data Interface to internal systems (Data Centre) Seoul WIS Workshop, Jeju, 6-9 November 2012 6
