Today we rely on our legal framework and licence agreements to protect our intellectual property

Our business is shifting so we need alternative ways to manage and protect our intellectual property

Four scenarios under evaluationFour scenarios under evaluation

• User accesses dataset from a single source• Overlaying datasets from multiple sources• Joining datasets from multiple sources• Derived product – adding content• GeoDRM Reference Model document being written as a

result of investigations into applying existing IP management technology in a geospatial context

• OGC Web Services (OWS) 3.0 has a GeoDRM thread supported by requirements from GeoConnections Canada to test click-through licensing



Project GeoDRM.LicenseProject GeoDRM.License

• SDI Joint Project:– German: Nutzungsbedingungen

– Goal: SDI Application “tim-online” with interoperable License Click-Through, (www.tim-online.nrw.de, was rated #1 of 25 projects last year, very large web access numbers)

– Based on geoDRM.OWS3 – Run by state NRW– License Click-through was recommended at the EuroSDR&eurogi

meeting in February by policy makers– 6 Member institutions



OGC Interoperability InitiativesOGC Interoperability Initiatives

• Current OGC Interoperability Experiments:– Web Services Context Document Schema– Geo-interface for Atmosphere, Land, Earth, and Ocean netCDF

(GALEON)– Geospatial Semantic Web – Sensor Alert Service

• OGC Web Services, Phase 3 (OWS-3) – Sensor Web Development– GeoDRM– Common Architecture improvements

• FGDC proposes Interoperability Experiment in support of interpreting and implementing the Geospatial Profile of the FEA

OWS-3 Status & HighlightsOWS-3 Status & Highlights

• Status– Nearly all service implementations on-line– Integration testing underway– Interoperability Program Reports (IPRs) being drafted– Demo planning and data management in high gear

• Highlights– SensorML and TransducerML blending– OpenLS Thread is independent, except for demo– Portrayal requires interaction of several OWS services– Start up of a new service GeoVideo

OGC Response to GEOOGC Response to GEO

• OGC Board – Research and Global Issues Committee– Bob Correll, Roberta Balstead, John Werle, others

• OGC membership in GEO, February 2005– OGC Earth Observation Working Group– GEOSS Architecture and Data Working Group

• GEOSS Concept Development – underway as OGC Interoperability Initiative



OGC Concept Development for GEOSSOGC Concept Development for GEOSS

• Conduct Constituency building workshops– GEOSS workshops: IGARSS, July 2005; AfricaGIS October 2005– GEOSS architecture demonstrated with OGC specs

• Develop an OGC Technology Strategy for GEOSS– Identify relevant specifications from OGC Technical Baseline– Release an OGC-GEOSS Request for Technology (RFT)

• Conduct OGC-GEOSS Testbed– Apply OGC specs to Observations-Models-DSS architecture– Demonstrate interoperability between world data centers– Emphasize international sponsorship and participation



OGC-GEOSS Interoperability InitiativeOGC-GEOSS Interoperability Initiative

• Continue Concept Development tasks– Demonstration at AfricaGIS, October– OGC EO WG endorsement of relevant OGC specifications– GEO-II meeting, December 2005

• Pursue international sponsorship of Testbed for GEOSS – NASA, NOAA, EPA, USGS– ESA, EC, Nottingham– JAXA?

• Call for sponsors: February 2006
