Understanding WIS

Understanding WIS

WIS will provide three fundamental types of services

•Routine collection and dissemination service for time-critical and operation-critical data and products•Data Discovery, Access and Retrieval service•Timely delivery service for data and products

Understanding WIS

• Catalog of data and products• Metadata standart

• Catalog of metadata

• Tools for metadata management

• Metadata synchronization

• DAR tools

From RTH to DCPC

DCPCs will provide basic WIS functions:

• Metadata catalogues• Internet portals• Data access management• Synchronization of metadata with GISC

From RTH to DCPC

Analysis

• We need to build metadata catalog• We already have web enabled services• Data access management needs to be made

WIS compliant

From RTH to DCPC

Our approach

• Open source software• File based metadata catalog• Tool for metadata management• Pull mechanism for metadata synchronization

- OAI-PMH

From RTH to DCPC

Metadata management

Future plans

• Upgrade of our RMDCN connection• WIS portal at DCPC-Sofia• Flexible system for metadata management

that can be used by countries of our zone of responsibility

• Integration of data access management system with WIS portal to provide timely delivery service

Summary

WIS implementation in DCPC-Sofia is one of the our most important activities. With help from WMO and GISC-DWD we learned what needs to be done and then technical part was relatively easy to be implemented.
