[georss] Discovery of georss and other geographic information?

[Ron Lake]

Hi,

 

Sorry we have a confusion here - my apologies.

 

Web Registry Service (WRS) = Catalogue 2.0-CSW.ebRIM.  This is an adopted
OGC Specification (version 0.).  A rev to v1.0 is nearly complete.   Since
the official name is such a mouthful, I have resurrected the WRS moniker.  I
think you will see this more widely used in the future as this profile of
Catalogue 2.0 is the most developed, most commercially supported and the
only one capable of general artifact management.

 

WRS (in the sense above) includes both harvesting and query.

 

Cheers

Ron

Ron, 

That's something in the direction I'm looking for, *but*:

i) Web Registry Service seems to be a search and not a harvesting protocol:
it mandates a query language; so it could be made still more light-weight,

ii) and the latest spec. is a discussion paper with version 0.0.2(?) which
is "deprecated and provided for historical purposes only" according to OGC
home page. 

iii) AFAIK it was replaced by CSW 2.0 which was made even more heavy-weight.

Did you follow the link I dropped?

P.S. Still: Anyone who knows the status of GeoRSS (simple) as microformat?

Hi,

 

There is a well developed service (web service) at the OGC called the Web
Registry Service.  It is based on the OAISIS ebRIM and can provide search by
keyword, by classification scheme, by parameters, and by location.
Discovered resources including georss data can reside in repositories - in
the case of georssGML these resources can be geographic features and
supported in a Web Feature Service (WFS).  There are already many years of
work behind each of these services and each has many commercial
implementations.  These services support features like automated harvesting,
publication etc.

Is anyone here who already thought (wrote or specified) about the discovery
of structured geographic information like georss files?

 

I'm thinking of mechanisms, protocols and concepts for the discovery,
dissemination (= producer view) and gathering (= search service view) of
ressources, like georss records. I've written down some thoughts about
discovery mechanisms at our GISpunkt Wiki
http://www.gis.hsr.ch/wiki/OSGeodata_Discovery <http://www.gis.hsr.ch/wiki/>
.

BTW: What's the status of georss as part of microformats?
http://microformats.org/wiki/geo does'nt really represent the current
(matured) status of georss.
