Data Access Technical Panel - DATP
The Data Access Technical Panel (DATP) addresses standards and specifications needed to provision the production and transfer of data in distributed networking environment. It is responsible for the standards, specifications, and guidelines used to create data products that share content models and/or encodings. This work includes defining compliance procedures, and creating test cases and sample data for testing and evaluation.
The responsibilities of the DATP are to develop standards and specifications
for data access to geographic information by supporting data production
under co-production agreements,
- by providing interfaces to networks and other dissemination
means; and
- by providing compliance testing mechanisms.
The DATP is chaired by the DEU (Bundeswehr Geoinformation Office)
DATP Projects
The active DATP Projects are:
A05 DGIWG GML Profiles
SCOPE:
Develop DGIWG profiles of the ISO 19136-Geography Markup Language (GML), based on military requirements. The profiles will be based on geometric constructs defined in accordance with the DGIWG profiles of ISO 19107-Spatial Schema.
DESCRIPTION:
The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and ISO/TC 211 (Geographic Information/Geomatics) have developed XML datatypes for geospatial applications called Geography Markup Language (GML). Due to GML's complexity, profiling of these datatypes is required to assure uniformity in military applications.
A07 Compliance Testing and Life Cycle Management
SCOPE:
To enhance processes for compliance testing for geospatial web services; and to foster conformance and compliance of such web services in a military environments.
DESCRIPTION:
This project aims at defining testing procedures to measure standards compliance for web services and respective implementations.
A08 Web Services Test Bed
SCOPE:
Design an architecture for and implement an open set of different geospatial web services
DESCRIPTION:
A framework of geospatial web services shall be established in order to conduct interoperability experiments.
