Session: Test Facility for GEOSS Registration

This is a session of the GEOSS Architecture Workshop

A presentation prepared for the session includes the summary of the session on slides 6 to 8.

Registration process

A workflow for registration, discovery and use was demonstrated in 2007.

Service Providers can register their services as part of the IOC at the GEOSS registry system.

Test Facility to Support Registration

Services that are registered need to support standard interfaces as Interoperability Arrangements. A new functionality for 2008 is the establishment of a network accessible test facility that support service providers to test if their services meet the standards used as GEOSS Interoperability Arrangements.

Workshop Session

During the workshop, discuss the usage scenarios and the requirements for a test facility to support service registry in GEOSS. It is anticipated that there will be responses to the Call for Participation to provide test facility components.
