This Oceanotron software will provide a WMS service as well.• OGC/WFS may be used in the future (after myOcean).For along track or satellite swath datasets (pointSeries along a trajectory)• The issue is still open but there will be no need for download interoperability within the project because they are all handled by the same production unit.Only WMS and CSW used; some use of WPS and possible plans for WCS.© HR Wallingford 2010MyOcean ArchitectureMISCatalogue databaseKnowledgedatabaseAuthentication AuthorizationWeb DAP (within Web Portal)ViewGUIDownloadGUIDiscoverGUIMonitoring GUIUser authenticationMetdataeditorDissemination UnitThreddsOpenDAPWMSMIS Gateway componentFTPUser authentication InventoryProduction monitoringTransaction accountingCSWWPSWMSInterfaces Web Portal – DU/MISAuthenticationDataset flowsInterface MIS‐MISDirect request to DU (without transaction accounting, except logs)Requests to MyOcean servicesUser authentication** Recommended download scenarioProduction chainsUser authentication© HR Wallingford 2010INSPIRE Ocean Themes SR - Sea Regions • Seas and saline water bodies divided into regions and sub-regions with common characteristics.OF- Ocean Geographic Features• Physical conditions of oceans (currents, salinity, wave heights, etc.). • Represented as lines, grids or points and includes measurement locations (INSPIRE Scoping, 2004)© HR Wallingford 2010INSPRE Ocean Themescd Data ModelLocatedInPropertiesOfSpecialisationOfSeaRegion«AnnexIII»SeaRegions+ International+ National«AnnexI»ProtectedSites+ Archeology+ Bird_Sanctuary+ Fishing+ Marine_Nature_Reserve+ Natura_2000«AnnexI»CadastralParcels+ SeaBed+ Water_Column+ Water_Surface«AnnexI»Administrativ eUnits+ Exclusive_Economic_Zone+ National_Waters+ Territorial_Sea«AnnexIII»NaturalRiskZones+ Floods+ Sea_Level_Rise+ Spring_Tides+ Waves«AnnexIII»AgriculturalAndAquacultureFacilities+ Fish_Farm+ Mussels_Farm+ Seaweed_Farm«AnnexIII»AreaManagementRestrictionRegulationZones&ReportingUnits+ Dredging_Areas+ Dumping_Areas+ Fairway_areas+ Fishery_Areas+ Harbour_Areas+ Military_Areas+ Noise_Restriction_Areas+ Speed_Restriction_Areas+ WFD_Areas+ WindFarm_Areas«AnnexI»GeographicalNames+ Ocean_Names+ Regional_Sea_Names+ SandBanks_Names+ Sea_Names«AnnexIII»OceanographicGeographicalFeatures+ Currents+ Salinity+ Wave_Heights«AnnexI»TransportNetworks+ Navigable_Channels+ Routing_Systems+ Traffic_Zone_Management«AnnexII»Geology+ Erosion+ Sedimentation«AnnexIII»EnergyResources+ Currents+ Gas+ GeoThermal+ HydroPower+ Oil+ Solar+ Waves+ Wind«AnnexIII»MineralResources+ Natural_Stones+ Sand«AnnexI»Hydrography+ Coastal_Waters+ Transitional_Waters+ Transport_Routes+ Water_Navigation«AnnexII»Elev ation+ Bathymetry«AnnexII»Orthoimagery+ Airborne_Image_Data+ Satel lite_Image_Data«AnnexIII»StatisticalUnits+ Collisions_Counts+ Fish_Counts+ Vessel_Counts«AnnexIII»ProductionAndIndustrialFacilities+ Buildings+ Collection_Minerals_and_Rocks+ PlatForm_Oil_and_Gas«AnnexIII»HumanHealthAndSafety+ Marine_Algal_Blooms+ Marine_Foods«AnnexIII»UtilityAndGov ernmentServ ices+ Oil_And_Gas_Pipelines+ Transmission_Lines-Electrical+ Transmission_Lines-Phone/Data/Cable-TV+ Water_Pipelines«AnnexIII»AtmosphericConditions+ Atmospheric_Parameters«AnnexIII»BioGeographicalRegions+ Biotopes+ Habitats«AnnexIII»SpeciesDistribution+ Birds+ Fish+ Plants«AnnexIII»MeteorologicalGeographicalFeatures+ Meteorological_Parameters«AnnexIII»Env ironmentalMonitoringFacilities+ Air_Quality_Monitoring_Stations+ Bathing_Site+ Marine_Environment_Monitoring_Stations+ Meteorological_Stations+ Other_Water_Related_Monitoring+ Water_Monitoring_Stations«AnnexI»GeographicalGridSystems+ Cell_Sizes_100x100m+ Cell_Sizes_10x10m+ Cell_Sizes_16x16km+ Cell_Sizes_1x1km«AnnexII»LandCov er+ Marine_Waters+ Maritime_WetlandsPropertiesOfIncludes1..*ProprtiesOf0..*HasCanRepresentLocatedIncanRepresentObservesPartOfdefinedByspecialisationOfpr pertyOfl catedInseaRegionoc anFeature© HR Wallingford 2010Conclusions Oceanographic Community and Data Products• Discrete products, harmonised according to sampling feature and observation method.Oceanographic Community and Metadata• Mature adopters of ISO19115/19 and implementation according to ISO 191139Oceanographic Community & Network Services• Consistent use of discovery services based on CSW• Harmonised view services for gridded data products based on WMSTheme3 - Overview of ProgressEuroMISS (WP8), EuroDESS (WP9) and Hindcasting (WP10)Keiran Millard(k.millard@hrwallingford.co.uk)i  ill( . ill lli f . . )
