        • What are information communities?
          • Great answer! (see slides)
        • How do communities interact?
          • Need to find a semantic mapping between them...
        • Geospatial Information Communities (GICs) have a lot in common?

        • Josh Lieberman
        • OWS Services
        • GeoDRM OWS Component Diagram
          • This looks very useful...
          • Still not sure how similar this is to shibboleth...
          • Get Paul to have a look at this...
        • Not sure they are thinking about (proxy) certificates
        • Someone raised the work on Shiboleth and Internet2
        • Geospatial constrasints on usage - how do these sit in the license and how are they applied?
        • We can observe what is going on with the OWS4 GeoDRM wiki - Read access to OGC members
      • Teleatlas road/traffic data people
        • Cecil Goodwin
        • We have to trust car manufacturers
        • Very interesting use case
        • Data continuously updated
        • Public Key Incription and watermarking are main security mechanisms
        • I wonder if data are archived for road accident analysis... I should try to talk to Cecil
      • In GeoDRM users of the data can be charged with a duty to provide data back to data developers
        • e.g. Sensors etc could return road and weather conditions, car performance etc
        • What GeoDRM for the data returned?
          • e.g. data can be used to improve road network not track my vehicle except in an emergency like when that vehicle is stolen... etc...

    • Architecture WG Agenda, Wednesday, June 28 0900-1200 (Presonfield Rm)
      • Introducing the "SDI 1.0 Standards Suite"
        • Doug Nebert, Carl Reed, Roland Wagner
        • Global SDI
        • What versions of what components
      • Reference Model for the ORCHESTRA Architecture
        • Thomas Usländer
        • Cool!
      • Pursuing best practices on the use of SOAP and WSDL in WxS specifications
        • Carl Reed
        • What should OGC do with SOAP and WSDL?
        • REST Representational state transfer
          • Simpler and less functional than SOAP
          • http get post is restful? uses URIs/URLs
        • Use SOAP for security in GeoDRM
        • SOAP and WSDL can be used to carry extra information in standard ways
        • Interplay with other software e.g. SAS
        • GetWSDL() should provide the client for the WSDL service
        • GetCapabilities? gives more than getWSDL() so can go one way, but not the other?
        • OGC Motion
          • Future revisions of OGC specifications for Web Services will have SOAP binding and support expression in WSDL
        • http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsrf/2004/06/wsrf-WS-ResourceProperties-1.2-draft-04.pdf
