In advance of Carl Reed’s presentation on
geo-referencing components for web services, I am sending out some links to OGC
interoperation activities. These are not specifically energy related, but you
can watch them with one eye and get a changed perspective on how mapping
information can be injected on the fly into distributed processes using web
service technology.
This area is filled with intriguing phrases such as
“Federated Geo-Synchronization”, “Geo Processing
Workflow” and “UML-GML Application Schema” (UGAS)”.
(GML is a geographic markup language).
Testbed 4 – Wildfires, including Sensor Web Enablement
(SWE), Geo Processing Workflow (GPW), •Geo-Decision Support (GeoDSS),
•OGC Location Services (OpenLS)

Testbed 5: Dirty bomb response in a port town, includes
workflow and process integration, sensorweb, authentication and authorization
on OGC web services
http://www.opengeospatial.org/pub/www/ows5/index.html
Testbed 6. OGC tools in Hostage and Chemical Explosion
scenario, Sensor Web Enablement (SWE), Geo Processing Workflow (GPW), Decision
Support Services (DSS), Aeronautical Information Management (AIM)
http://www.opengeospatial.org/pub/www/ows6/index.html
These scenarios are show position and location flowing
across domains, across authorities as components associated with other critical
information. Watching the videos will change the way you think of sharing
geospatial information, and will be a good warm-up for the overview of standard
components for spatial communication that Carl Reed will deliver in the next
meeting
