SeaDataNet &WIS-WIGOS by Dave Thomas

WMO analyses of interoperability

WIS & WIGOS have similar goals to SeaDataNet • SeaDataNet is building a core infrastructure ideal for collaborating with WIS. – Just need to interface. • WIS minimum requirement will be making metadata available to GISC. – SeaDataNet using ISO19115 metadata to be compliant with EU initiatives including

INSPIRE • Connecting directly to WIS for information exchange will need to meet appropriate interfaces, eg. ftp, authentication, GTS internet guidelines, etc • To send information across WIS will need unique filenames. • In addition, an ISO23950 type system search interface will allow WIS searches to

search in SeaDataNet and vice versa. • Connecting to WIS should be a small amount of work while delivering connectivity to

the wider WMO community as well as Europe. • The WIGOS Marine Pilot Project is an ideal forum to ensure the SeaDataNet

interfaces with WIS and is a part of WIGOS
