1.1. Chaining Concept vs. Application Functionality

Chaining (…is needed for these...)

• Usage of References rather than single Metadata Entries (example: pricing model in <fee> tag)

• Add onlineResource Class to Metadata (19115) or getcapabilitities (OGC, BSM)

• …

Functionalities

• Web Pricing & Ordering Service (WPOS)

• Web Authentication & Authorization Service (WAAS)

• Monitoring

• Optimization

1.2. History: Chaining Concept and Functionality

• First presentation of the need and requirements at the OGC meeting in Liège, March 2001• Presentation of approach and concepts at the OGC meeting in London, June 2002• Invited Expert for INSPIRE Meeting London, June 2002• Discussion Paper OGC Doc: 02-39r1 L.A., Dec 2002• WPOS HTTP POST profile 2003• Experience and Proof through multiple (paid) projects (LGB, LDS NRW, Ordnance Survey,..) 2003/04

• GDI.NRW released WPOS Spec May/June 2004• OGC Meeting State-of-the-art Southampton 2004

2.1. Geo-eBusiness Workflow and Standards

1a.) Find with Meta-data (ISO, OGC)

1b.) Find with Mapping (WMS)

2.) Authentication & Authorization (WAAS)

3.) Pricing & Ordering (WPOS)

4.) Data Generation & Integration (WFS, WCS, WCTS...)

State-of-the-art Interoperability

2.3. Requirements for Pricing & Ordering within a SDI no geo-data protocol interference,

e.g. WMC WMS, WMS will never understand e.g. “getPrice”

implementation independentno data service enhancement necessary

but price calculation, ordering and accounting of

requested geo-data support of additional configuration parameter,

e.g. WMS request and configParam “licenseTime”

multi-protocol support, e.g. WMS,WFS,WCS,…

4.1. Number of Façades for Services Chaining

• “Zoo” of Protocols:• Function: WMS, WCS, WFS, WCTS,

WPOS, WAAS,…

• Version: 1.0.0, 1.1.0, 1.2.0, 2.0.0,…• SubProtocol: POST, GET, SOAP,…

• Assumption: • 6 Protocols * 2 Versions * 1.5 SubProtocols = 18 Variants

• Vendor1-ServiceA, Vendor2-ServiceB

* m = n (open)

5. Conclusion: Advantages of Façades

• High Concentration of Protocol-/Version-specific Logic in a Façade.

• Clear Separation between general and specific Logic

• High re-usability of components (Much lower implementation efforts)

• Support of proprietary Services (/protocols)

• Adding/Removing of sub protocols in running GDI possible (e.g. Security Cracks)

• Automated update of distributed SDI components on-request possible
