Justification OGC member interest WMO-CHy interest (Bruce Stewart) –“Can you do this thing which we don’t seem to be able to do ourselves” –Help with methodology & continuity, process Hydrology has strong X-Domain requirements Clear relationship with other OGC activities –SWE –GALEON Domain modelling exemplar Help generate reference model/best practice for framework datasets Can the OGC methodology develop a product which is adoptable by an international authority? How is this all different to a conventional OGC DWG? Coordination & community representation Do we need a different kind of WG within OGC?

4 Helping the World to Communicate Geographically Copyright © 2008, Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc., All Rights Reserved. Charter issues Joint committee with CHy –Explicitly reserve co-chair for WMO CHy nominee Visible linkage to WMO is evidence to the community that this activity has a plausible mandate –Co-branded specifications? DWG –Charter to note that will make regular reports to ESS + tech working groups Allow for participation of non-members of OGC and/or an OGC Interoperability Experiment (Side effect: Hydrology as an exemplar of a methodology which contributes to development of a SDI design and maintenance process)
