1. 1 OGC Web Services Kai Lin San Diego Supercomputer Center klin@sdsc.edu

2. 2 OGC Web Services OGC Specifications –Based on HTTP Protocol (GET/ POST) –XML as standard encoding (W3C) –Related to geospatial information Some of main OGC services: –Web Map Service (WMS) –Web Feature Service (WFS) –Web Coverage Service (WCS) –Catalogue Service for the Web (CSW) Not SOAP. REST?

3. 3 Web Map Service (WMS) Requests for images of map data Point based query functionality Main operations: –GetCapabilities: Metadata about the types/operations the WMS supports –GetMap Map of the requested data –GetFeatureInfo Feature information about a particular point within a map Open source implementations –UMN Map Server –GeoServer

4. 4 Web Feature Service (WFS) Requests for spatial features Return vector data (in GML) Rich query interface Main operations: –GetCapabilities: Metadata about the types/operations the WFS supports –DescribeFeatureType A list of features and associated attributes –GetFeature Features by spatial querying and filtering Open source implementations –GeoServer –Deegree

5. 5 Web Coverage Service (WCS) Requests for raw (typically gridded) data Return in well known binary formats Main operations: –GetCapabilities: Metadata about the types/operations the WCS supports –DescribeCoverage Structural information about one or more coverages –GetCoverage Coverage data by spatial querying and filtering Open source implementations –GeoServer –Deegree

6. 6 Catalogue Service for the Web (CSW) Standard API for manipulating metadata records –creating, updating, deleting for resource providers –querying metadata records for resource users Profiles (Information Model) –FGDC –ISO19119 / ISO19115 –OASIS eBussiness Registry Information Model (ebRIM, preferred) Request formats: XML or name-value pairs –Query language Filter Encoding Specification (used in WFS) Common Query Language (CQL) Others defined in profiles Response in XML Open source implementations : GeoNetwork, Deegree

7. 7 A Typical CSW Use Case Resource Description (Metadata) Catalog Client Catalog Service

8. 8 CSW Operations GetCapabilities: –Metadata about the types/operations the CSW supports DescribeRecord: –Schema description of the CSW Information Model GetDomain: –Runtime value space for parameters used in API GetRecords: –Metadata records with possibility of filtering (spatial, temporal, keywords conditions, etc.) GetRecordByID –Metadata records with the specified ID Transaction –Create, update and delete metadata records Harvest –Retrieve metadata from other catalogue services –Supporting periodic retrieving

9. 9 What You Can Query Core Queryables –Subject: the topic of the resource –Title: the name of the resource –Abstract: a summary of the resource –AnyText: for full text search –Format: physical manifestation –Identifier: unique reference to the resource –Modified: data the resource created or updated –Type: genre of the resource –BoundingBox: a bounding box for interested area –CRS: coordinate system –Association: relation with other resources

10. 10 What CSW Response for a Query Response Returnables –Title: correspondent to the query attribute Title –Creator –Subject: correspondent to the query attribute Subject –Description : correspondent to the query attribute Abstract –Publisher –Contributor –Date : correspondent to the query attribute Modified –Type : correspondent to the query attribute Type –Format : correspondent to the query attribute Format –Identifier : correspondent to the query attribute Identifier –Language –Relation : correspondent to the query attribute Association –Coverage : correspondent to the query attribute BoundingBox –Rights
