-- MarcoVerlato - 2011-12-16
In the course of fulfilling its Charter, the G-OWS WG will:
Address Grid standardization needs as far as application (e.g. Civil Protection, GMES) and infrastructure (e.g. SDI and gLite middleware) domains are concerned;
Govern the implementation specification for OGC Web Services on the gLite platform. Examples include:
Integrate OGC Web Services with gLite as "back-end" processing environment to enable large-scale processing
Integrate OGC Web Services with gLite data management services and tools to exploit large-scale distributed storage capabilities
Empower OGC Web Services with the gLite security and Virtual Organization management services to support Single-Sign-On for Spatial Data Infrastructures
Integrate OGC SOS Services with the DORII Remote Instrumentation Services (Instrument Element)
Conceive, design, coordinate, and implement reference implementations, pilot, and production projects that demonstrate technical approaches to OWS within the context of gLite, for SDI community.
As appropriate, serve as a forum for the development of specification profiles and application schemas for OWS gridification on gLite.
Manage a mailing list for discussion of OGC services on gLite;
Engage the interest of sponsors for these activities.
