the flexibility of the WMS specification leads to non-interoperable implementations;
2. EO data is often reacquired repeatedly, necessitating the handling of hundreds to
tens of thousands of unique maps. An EO specific application profile of the WMS specification was defined as an OGC
Discussion Paper in 2006. As part of the FedEO Pilot Project, this draft specification was updated and a reference implementation created. As well a providing a well-constrained,
consistent handling for the visualisation of EO products, this specification and implementation also enables the interactive browse of spatial quality metadata. In other
words, the EO products discovered by a catalogue search can be evaluated to see if they are fit for purpose before the full data product is ordered or downloaded.
Web Coverage Service – WCS: The OGC implementation specification related to the
delivery of coverage, in casu raster data files, across the Internet. It is used as the interface by which clients can download and visualize EO products.
12.7 Processing Service
The FedEO Clearinghouse provides already access to a number of processing services. The IMERIS processor running on the ESA G-POD infrastructure was made accessible
via SSE in 2006. Recently a number of fusion services developed under the EC FP6 project SANY were integrated with an OGC WPS Web Processing Service interface.
In past OGC testbeds OWS-3 and OWS-4, also coordinate conversion services were made available through the SSE by Spot Image and other organisations as OGC WCTS
Web Coordinate Transformation services. This was documented in the IPR documents OGC 05-140 and OGC 07-008. These services are still accessible via the FedEO
Clearinghouse Portal.
