RE: OGC, WFS, and CAP demonstration

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.
