Notes

Status update:

34 North: Client development

Nathan walked us through client at http://www.opennrm.org

We discussed some of the findings he has had regarding services differences, etc. Listed here: + I-Lin has documented some technical differences here that Nathan ran into on http://external.opengeospatial.org/twiki_public/bin/view/HydrologyDWG/HTTPPostMethodsDiscussion + REST interface would be useful - right now an intermediate proxy is needed. + Number of observations needs to be corrected. + units -> needs to deal with different units. + time -> need to deal with averaging over time. USGS has daily values (averaged over a day) - should not express time. + Boyan - Additional suggestions: Add WMS layers, and data download

Web services:

34N: no progress yet. Have focussed on client to this point. Target March OGC meeting for services.

USGS: Have researched the standards but have yet to stand up a WFS.

GSC: Improvement of the services underway.

Schema updates

Pete Taylor: not many changes since last call. Group noted service and schema discussions needed around: + getCapabilities -> need to discuss where to store and serve well location summaries as well as what phenomena were measured and when (period of record) + Feature of Interest -> see post on IE site (http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/HydrologyDWG/SamplingFeature) + TimeSeries
