[[Guidance, Tools and 'workspace' for data interop standards WCS and WMS

In order to facilitate the work of the Interoperability Subcommittee, a wiki workspace was set up on the topic of Interoperability of Data systems. This workspace is on the ESIP wiki and will be used to accommodate inter-agency and inter-disciplinary participation.


The primary recommended standard is the OGC Web Coverage Service (WCS) data access protocol.

Ideas on the structure and functionality of the workspace?

  • Description and Tutorial on the WCS Interoperability Standard


Here is a screencast on DataFed WCS (5 min WCS, 4 min DataFed app). Also , here is a paper on the topic, and the related PPT. To see WCS live, select a dataset from the DataFed catalog. and then click on the WCS button in the second column, say on the AirNow tabular data WCS link. In the Format field select CSV Table. Click on GetCoverage and a CSV table is returned ... Your browser may invoke Excel to show the table.

What other materials on interoperability should be collected?


Current state of data flow and interoperability between the 'core' data systems

There are several data systems affiliated with EPA, which could be made interoperable using the WCS OGC Standard Protocol. <ask format="ul" limit="100" > +</ask>

Possible Interop tests/documentation among the core network nodes(?)

Subcommittee Telecons



Following the group recommendation at the March 12 telecon, it was recommended that a subcommittee be formed on interoperability of data systems to address the diversity of interoperable data standards and to make recommendations. Several volunteers agreed to participate, including: David McCabe, Steve Young, Nick Mangus, Tim Dye, and Rudy Husar. The interested data systems should monitor the activities of the interoperability group. The initial activities of the group should include:

  1. Identify interoperability standards and methods,
  2. Test and apply these standards to several EPA data systems
  3. Apply GEO principles and architecture and ESIP venues and community
