OWS-9: OGC Mobile Apps: Definition, Requirements, and Information Architecture
2013
This engineering report represents the results of the OWS-9 innovations thread on mobile applications.Initially, the goal was to help understanding the requirements for developing standards-based geospatially-enabled mobile applications.The report describes how OGC Enabled Mobile Apps can be integrated into information architectures based on OGC standards.Particular emphasize has been put on the future work section, as it provides valuable recommendations for further standardization work (and, equally important, highlights aspects that could be excluded from standardization) Keywords ogcdoc, ows9, mobile apps, geopackage, ows context, architecture What is OGC Web Services 9 (OWS-9)?OWS-9 builds on the outcomes of prior OGC interoperability initiatives and is organized around the following threads: -Aviation: Develop and demonstrate the use of the Aeronautical Information Exchange Model (AIXM) and the Weather Exchange Model (WXXM) in an OGC Web Services environment, focusing on support for several Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) project requirements as well as FAA (US Federal Aviation Administration) Aeronautical Information Management (AIM) and Aircraft Access to SWIM (System Wide Information Management) (AAtS) requirements.-Cross-Community Interoperability (CCI): Build on the CCI work accomplished in OWS-8 by increasing interoperability within communities sharing geospatial data, focusing on semantic mediation, query results delivery, data provenance and quality and Single Point of Entry Global Gazetteer.-Security and Services Interoperability (SSI): Investigate 5 main activities:
