To add to the list of implementations of CAP - but with a twist: Integrated
into a complete EM workflow that also incorporates the use of OGC interface
standards. This from a soon to be released short article on a GEOSS
demonstration at IGARRS (International
Geosciences and Remote Sensing Symposium) in
July in Korea:
The
scenario began with a George Mason University (GMU) client accessing a Common
Alerting Protocol (CAP) message as a Geography Markup Language (GML) document
from an Intergraph server that implemented OGC's OpenGIS Web Feature Server
Specification� (WFS). Landsat imagery was provided by the NASA-JPL WMS Global
Mosaic.
The Common
Alerting Protocol (CAP), from OASIS, is a simple but general format for
exchanging all-hazard emergency alerts and public warnings over networks. The
OpenGIS� Geography Markup Language (GML) Specification�, (all the OpenGIS
Specifications are products of the international consensus process managed by
OGC), defines a data encoding in XML � an XML "namespace" � for geographic data
and its attributes. The OpenGIS Web Feature Server Specification� (WFS)
describes data manipulation operations on OGC Simple Features (e.g., points,
lines, and polygons) so that servers and clients can communicate at the feature
level.
I will send the article once it is edited and approved.
