MOTIIVE

• Drafting Team work in the context of RISE /
  MOTIIVE
  
• Where are the intercept points?
• Achievable in a two-year timeframe
• GMES use case focussed
• Quick wins versus best practice

Data to Information
Mixing and Matching data with/between workflows
is what we would like to do in GMES
4
MOTIIVE

• MOTIIVE is an INSPIRE pilot project covering data
  harmonisation issues in the marine domain
  
• Dynamic, multi-dimensional data issues (not just
  marine atmosphere rivers)
  
• How to implement data services in the marine
  domain based on ISO and OpenGIS standards
  
• Supports IHO and IOC in establishing a registry
  infrastructure for standards and services that
  services can be built on.
  
• Also engaging WMO (via Met. Office UK).
• Mapping of features through lifecycle/processing
  chain
  
• Demonstrate and document the above process,
  including the costbenefit of using open
  standards interoperability

MOTIIVE support for GSE

• Registry infrastructure for deploying community
  Feature Types
  
• ISO19110/26/36
• Enabling different parts of the marine community
  to express their vocabularies in a consistent
  way
  
• To enable services to be built that understand
  these vocabularies
  
• Generic marine data Feature Types
• Interchange amongst different communities
  (including different GSEs)
  
• OGC OM specifications
• Cost benefit of deployment
• Based on unit service costs

The problem is not so much that different
communities have different data forms, more they
have private models for this data that do not
have a robust governance.

Data Service
This is the type of deployment we are looking to
establish to enable user communities harmonised
access to information on which to build services
Central to this is the governance of Feature
Catalogues by competent bodies and binding these
to data services
IHO
Bind
EEA
An example service is based on the Features
defined in catalogues managed an authority such
as EEA. These Features are bound to the services
of data providers
IOC
WFD
S-57
EEA inherits Feature definitions from IOC and IHO
catalogues, e.g. coastline, currents, waterlevel

Key Points to Address

• MOTIIVE will require multiple Feature Type
  Catalogues in multiple organisations.
  
• This implies the requirement for the deployment
  of a common Feature Type model (within
  registries) with common (Web) interfaces.
  
• This could make use of CSW or OGC Catalogue
  service on top of an ebRIM meta-model
  
• MOTIIVE Feature Types will be mutli-dimensional
  (3D time parameters) and will need to
  maintain a separation between semantics and
  packaging (for example as different coverage
  encodings)
• MOTIIVE Feature Types will provide information
  about ability to support processing operations
  and this needs to be reflected in the FTC
  implemented by RISE/MOTIIVE

Community Partnering

• MOTIIVE is providing the mechanisms for
  communities such as WMO, IHO and IOC to express
  their vocabularies
  
• IHO are looking at ISO 19110 for S-57 v4 to
  enable re-use of data beyond navigation
  
• IOC and IHO have a collaboration intent of wider
  deployment of a Marine Feature Catalogue
  (IOC/IODE XVIII, 2005)
  
• WMO are examining the wider use of 19100
  Standards for metocean data

Conclusions

• MOTIIVE INSPIRE pilot project, and follow-on
  MarineXML project
  
• IODE to continue MarineXML steering role
• How to implement data services in the marine
  domain based on ISO and OpenGIS standards
  
• Feature Catalogue deployment focusing on
  ISO19135
  
• Builds on a pre-standardisation level using XML
  for marine data exchange based on IS019000
  standards
  
• IHO and IOC Plans
• Met/ocean community is informing ISO
  developments
  
• ISO 19111 (Spatial referencing by coordinates)
  proposal for parametric vertical datum actively
  being pursued.
