Hello all,
The GALEON email list has been relatively quiet lately. My assumption is that
is that everyone is hard at work completing their experiments and writing
reports. In December we decided to put off the final report drafts until early
February and early February is rapidly approaching.
It would be good to have drafts of these reports by then end of next week if at
all possible. We could then have another teleconference the following week to
determine what needs to be done to wrap things up for this initial phase of
GALEON. In my December note I described what we are aiming for as follows:
In terms of Interoperability Program Reports, my concept of the ideal situation
would be for each team that has experimented with a WCS client or server to
provide a report on their experiences. Such reports could have two parts, one
would be a general description of what works and what doesn't between
client/server pairs. The second component of the report would relate to OGC
specifications. Are changes, extensions, or profiles of the specifications
needed. The latter aspect of the reports would be only available to OGC
members, but the former would be made available to the general public. Please
keep these reports in mind and you continue to conduct your experiments. In
particular, we need to carefully consider change requests for WCS. If I am not
mistaken, Peter Baumann has already submitted WCS change requests -- some of
them based on GALEON experiences.
So that's the report we need for next week.
As a reminder
On the OGC web portal, there's a folder for presentations and documents from the previous
meeting. To find it, log into the portal and select the GALEONIE from the "project
quick selector" in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
http://portal.opengeospatial.org/index.php?m=projects
should get you a list of the active projects once you login. Formal OGC
specification documents should be posted there.
And the public GALEON wiki is at:
http://galeon-wcs.jot.com/WikiHome
You can post the part of the report that describes client and server
implementations and the results of interactions between them at that site. It
can be accessed by non-OGC members.
If you do post a report at either site, please send the galeon email list a
note to let them know how conscientious you are.
Many thanks in advance.
