From EnviroGRIDS BlackSea towards Building of Global Mobile SDI Karel Charvat Czech Centre for Science and Society Help Service Remote Sensing

Motivation

EnviroGRIDS BlackSea The scientific aim of the EnviroGRIDS project was to assemble an observation system of the Black Sea catchment that will address several GEO Societal Benefit Areas within a changing climate framework.

Habitats The HABITATS project focused on the adoption of INSPIRE standards through a participatory process to design and validate environmental geo-spatial data, metadata, and service specifications with European citizens and businesses.

How to avoid it? For end-users operating services are crucial –Availability –Quality – service / data / metadata Preparing catalogue of „clean services“ to ensure availability First step - only WMS

Technology behind the CCSS Geoportal Web Client HSLayers (JavaScript) - OpenLayers - Ext Server proxy Proxy4ows (Python) - Mapserver / MapScript - Gdal / Ogr - OwsLib OWS Servers MapServer GeoServer InterGraph ArcGis WMS++ WMS WMS-T WFS, FES WCS...

URM GeoPortal

Establishment of the SuperCAT Harvesting existing catalogues Catalogues CSW ISO AP 1.0 Only services (type=service) Periodically (P1D) Sources – GEOSS registry – INSPIRE geoportal – Catalogues we know about Problems – No central catalogue / we don’t know about services – Classical search engines did not succeed – Many catalogues do not response

Harvested catalogues ISPIRE national nodes: Austria, Belgium, Czech republic, Finland, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, United Kingdom CIDP EEA SDI ENVIROGRIDS EuroGEOSS GEOSS Habitats One Geology Europe Plan4all WHO

Testing services availability If Capabilities document is available and valid Periodically (P1D) Not valid services are set “hidden”, not erased Tools for service provider feedback – RSS channel – Automatic mail notification – “Heartbeat” record

„Heartbeat“ protocol

Results 2222 services harvested serviceType (all / valid) –WMS = 96 / 88 –OGC:WMS = 1418 / 1351 –view = 343 / 190 –View = 1 / 1 –VIEW = 2 / 2 –View Service = 76 / 76 All WMS : 1860 / 1632 (87 %)

Problems – poor service metadata (missing abstract etc.) – viewer or web page address instead of service – no mandatory thematic classification in INSPIRE – operatesOn broken links – serviceType not clear
