1.4.1 Standardize WSDL documents for OWS

In OWS-9 Aviation, ISO 1911919139 Service Metadata was automatically generated from OWS Capabilities Documents to improve OWS interoperability of service discovery applications. There were several non-OWS component service implementations and some OWS service implementations in OWS-9 that only published service descriptions as WSDL documents. However, it was found that the WSDL documents provided: ฀ Did not follow any common implementation guidelines ฀ Ranged widely with respect to organization and level of completeness ฀ Tended to have lighter service descriptions compared to Capabilities and ISO Service metadata ฀ Most did not pass schema validation. Therefore, we it is currently not possible to properly automate the creation of ISO Service Metadata from WSDL documents as was done for OWS Capabilities in OWS-9. The proposed future work items shall improve the interoperability of WSDL-capable applications in OWS environments e.g. SESAR Registry by: 1. Developing an OWSISO profile of the WSDL standard. 2. Developing best practices for the creationtransformation of WSDL documents into the OWSISO profile of WSDL. 3. The automatic generation of OWSISO profiled WSDL directly from OWS Capabilities documents and ISO 19139 Service Metadata.

1.4.2 HarmonizeBridge Profiles of CSW that support ISO Metadata

Perform a Gap Analysis and Design and Implement an Interface bridge between the two profiles of CSW that support the ISO 191151911919139 Metadata information model, namely CSW-ISO and CSW-ebRIM loaded with the CIM Registry Package. Both of these OGC CSW profile standards already support the common CSW GetRecord interface, OGC Filter Encoding, and the ISO Metadata information model. The outcomes of this task shall provide: 1. Harmonized ImplementationDeployment Guidelines OGC Best Practice to enable interoperability between the CSW ISO and ebRIM-CIM profile implementations.

A registrycatalogue Client Component to demonstrate that common requests and transactions of the harmonized Service Interface Standard work with both CSW- ISO and CSW-ebRIM Service implementations.
