Services and Interfaces Technical
Panel - SITP
The Services and Interfaces Technical Panel addresses the technical
issues related to information services and interfaces. SITP is concerned
with the patterns of interactions between services that are part
of a larger system. A number of services have been identified by
member nations as being of priority. An “information product
catalogues and registry service” would make available the
information that is open and contained in the current paper product
catalogues of the various nations. The second priority service was
the data access metadata for "on-line discovery "of digital
data sets. A "Road Map" was initially developed to integrate
all the requirements.
The responsibilities of the SITP are to:
- Develop standards and specifications for services and interfaces
to geographic information.
- Review interoperability requirements to determine which services
and interfaces are required to support interoperability and to
establish projects to develop these services and interface specifications.
- Ensure that the developed standards satisfy the interoperability
requirements and that they are compatible with international standards
and industrial implementation specifications.
The Services and Interfaces Technical Panel works externally with
the services standardization efforts in ISO TC/211 and the Open
Geospatial Consortium.
The SITP is chaired by the GBR (Ministry of Defence, ICG )
SITP Projects
The active SITP Projects are:
S01 DGIWG Portrayal Service
SCOPE:
Develop a specification for a Feature Portrayal Service which will interoperate with the outcome of D22-Prototype DGIWG Portrayal Registry and D06-DGIWG Portrayal Registry Application Schema providing the functionality to render features from a Feature Database with a specific set of Portrayals and a Portrayal Registry Service to access and manage D22.
DESCRIPTION:
Develop a specification for a Feature Portrayal Service and an implementation specification for a Portrayal Registry Service.
S15 Use of KML in a Military Environment
SCOPE:
Address the use of KML in a military environment.
DESCRIPTION:
Prepare a DGIWG position paper on the appropriate use of Keyhole Markup Language (KML) in a military environment which includes a set of use cases within which KML may be appropriately applied in the provision of geospatial information.
S16 Web Coverage Service for a Military Environment
SCOPE:
Development of a profile of the OGC Web Coverage Service for use in a military environment
DESCRIPTION:
Develop a Web Coverage Service (WCS) profile for use in a military environment. As part of this work the OGC WCS standard will be assessed against military requirements to determine it fitness for use.
