OGC Testbed-15 Kickoff Workshop

The Testbed-15 Kickoff Workshop is held 2-4 April at the US Geological Survey National Center in Reston, VA, USA.

The Kickoff Workshop is a face-to-face meeting where Participants, guided by thread architects, will refine the Testbed architecture (including generic interfaces and protocols to be used as a baseline for software components) and the demonstration concept.

Telespazio Vega UK has sent Simon Farman, EOEPCA Project Manager, as representative for the meetings.

The selected candidates for the following working packages are:

Company selected WP Deliverable
52.North GmbH WP3 D118 Web Processing Service (2 of 2)WPS instance and two demo applications that can be deployed dynamically and compliant with Application Package specification.Contributions to Engineering Report (D010).
Deimos Engenharia S.A WP2 D117 Catalogue & Discovery Service SERVER (2 of 2)Implementation of Catalogue & Discovery Service SERVER in accordance with the Data Model (D010).Contributions to Engineering Report (D010).
SpaceBel SA WP1 D010 Catalogue & Discovery Engineering ReportDevelopment of the Data Model and Engineering Report covering all results of this task including the description of all implementations and the data model.

Figure 1 Overview of all work items and deliverables of this task. Green work items require a response to the OGC CFP, orange work items require a response to the ESA ITT. Arrows indicate interaction between client and service, direct lines indicate usage relationships. Not all connections are shown in the diagram. Both demo apps as well as WPS instances need to be registered at both catalogs.

One technical representative for each of the companies has been sent to the Kickoff Workshop.

The schedule is linked to the overall Testbed 15 programme managed by OGC.
