Hydrology Domain Working Group

of the Open Geospatial Consortium and the World Meteorological Organization

August 16, 2014; 9am – 5pm, Shepard Bldg, Room 205

*Standardization of Water Data Exchange: WaterML2.0 and Beyond*

Workhop at HIC2014 - 11th International Conference on Hydroinformatics

This workshop introduces the work of the OGC/WMO Hydrology Domain Working Group (HDWG) to develop standards for water data exchange. Workshop presentations address several key aspects of standardization including: information modeling and encoding of hydrologic and hydrogeologic features; encoding of hydrologic and hydrogeologic observations; development and representation of community vocabularies of water-related terms; and respective web service interfaces. Intended audience: hydrology researchers; practitioners; water resource data managers; and information system developers interested in standards-based water data exchange and interoperability.
