Profile for basic wells and borehole information service

Tags:

Develop content model and specifications for encoding that content using GeoSciML Borehole encodings, and a simple  flat/simple feature view scheme for. Content is to create catalog of boreholes with links to other information resources associated with borehole. Debate is whether there should be ISO19115/19139 metadata records for this or a separate borehole service. Current working plan is a borehole service listed in the catalog, and the borehole service includes more specific kinds of geoscience search criteria (produced fluid, formation at TD...) that are easy to accommodate in the standard metadata.

USGIN Catalog and Data Services website released

The USGIN Catalog and Data Services website (http://catalog.usgin.org) hosts several geospatial metadata catalog (CSW) and geospatial data services (WMS, WFS, WCS) implementations and clients. Although the site functions as a showcase of USGIN service implementations, the Catalog Service for the Web service (CSW - http://catalog.usgin.org/geonetwork/srv/en/csw) is a primary metadata node for the U.S. Geospatial Information Network.

Available services and clients at this time:

GI-go GeoBrowser

Tags:

GI-go is a graphical desktop client developed to easily demonstrate the capabilities of the GI-cat catalog service. User make distributed queries based on common search criteria (where, when, who, what) and gets metadata results from a variety of data sources. Data preview and download is also supported.

Distributed search on a variety of data sources:

  • WCS 1.0, 1.1
  • WMS 1.3.0, 1.1.1
  • WFS 1.0.0
  • CSW 2.0.2 Core, AP ISO 1.0, ebRIM/CIM, ebRIM/EO
  • THREDDS 1.0.1, NEW 1.0.2
  • Accessors for GeoNetwork (tested with versions 2.2.0 and 2.4.1) and deegree (tested with version 2.2) catalog services
  • OpenSearch accessor
  • GENESI RDF OpenSearch accessor
  • Download and visualization of XML metadata
  • CDI 1.04, 1.3
  • GI-cat 5.x, 6.x
  • GBIF

GI-cat

Tags:

GI-cat is an implementation of distributed catalog services made by ESSI Lab:

  • Allows clients to discover and evaluate geoinformation resources over a federation of data sources;
  • Allows different clients to use the service, as it publishes different catalog interfaces.

A data provider can deploy his/her own GI-cat instance, grouping together disparate data sources, to accommodate his/her user needs.

Data sources:

  • OGC WCS 1.0, 1.1
  • OGC WMS 1.3.0, 1.1.1
  • OGC WFS 1.0.0
  • OGC CSW 2.0.2 Core, AP ISO 1.0, ebRIM/CIM, ebRIM/EO
  • THREDDS 1.0.1, 1.0.2
  • CDI 1.04, 1.3
  • GI-cat 5.x, 6.x
  • GBIF
  • GeoNetwork (versions 2.2.0 and 2.4.1) catalog service
  • deegree (tested with version 2.2) catalog service
  • OpenSearch accessor
  • GENESI DR OpenSearch accessor 

Profilers:

ESRI ArcExplorer

Tags:

ESRI's ArcExplorer is a lightweight, no-cost GIS data viewer. Note that the .NET version of ArcExplorer is significantly different from the Java edition.

ESRI ArcGIS Server

Tags:

ArcGIS Server is ESRI's network- and webservice-centric GIS application suite. Among other, ArcGIS Server offers WMS, WFS, WFS-T, WCS, and KML service capability as well as web application SDKs for JavaScript, Flex, Silverlight, .Net, and Java.

ESRI ArcGIS Desktop GIS

Tags:

ESRI's ArcGIS Desktop GIS application suit includes popular GIS applications such as ArcMap and ArcCatalog.

Geoserver

Tags:

GeoServer is an open source software server written in Java that allows users to share and edit geospatial data. Designed for interoperability, it publishes data from any major spatial data source using open standards.

Being a community-driven project, GeoServer is developed, tested, and supported by a diverse group of individuals and organizations from around the world.

GeoSciML WFS architecture

Tags:

Interoperable OGC Web Feature Services based on the GeoSciML Schema require specification of numerous aspects of the network architecture to enable clients to interact successfully with any profile-based server.

A 'global' GeoSciML WFS architecture profile will be inherited as the framework for more specific GeoSciML feature services like Fault, GeolgoicUnit, MappedFeature, GeologicMap package, and others that may be developed.  This profile is thus viewed as a parent profile to these other more specific profiles.
