v. Future work

A description of Web Map Context is necessary within the Section 4.3, OGC Web Services for the NSG. Ideally this material would be placed in to a new sub-section, 4.3.3. It would be useful to include a discussion of how DoD Information Technology Standards and Profile Registry are represented within this profile. This work would provide use cases and DoDAF views and should fit into Section 4.1.1. The initial sponsors of this document have requested that this work include a mapping of NSG Data Sources, or NGA Products, to OWS services and profiles. This information should be included in Section 4.1.2. This document was originally intended to provide a section describing the Creating Features from Observations, Section 4.5.4. Resource limitations prevented this work from being done. The relevant NGA excerpt and applicable OGC specifications are shown below. This work should be provided as resource become available. Information Management. Today, the best NSG information is not always generated, visible or accessible to customers. This is a result of information management processes that occur independently, serve limited customer sets, and are not routinely understood by or available to customers. The NSG will evolve from a product-oriented environment to a knowledge-centric enterprise, with an information management architecture to support the new paradigm. An integrated information environment and a service-oriented architecture, with data-centric, networked capabilities, will provide assured customer access to GEOINT data, products, and services. It will provide discovery, acquisition, ii Copyright © 2007 Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc.
