Ben,

 

A few things:

 

1.       Ensure that the comments you have already received are
addressed.  I know a few of WCS SWG members sent comments in the past.

2.       A big question is what is your target WCS version?  Are you
shooting for WCS 1.1, WCS 2.0, or both?

3.       I believe the final goal is to make the extension a full
fledged OGC standard. To that end you should edit the document so that
it matches the OGC's template for standards.  Also, I suggest trying to
follow the OGC policies from OGC 08-131r1 - OGC Specification Model.

 

Cheers

Hi,

 

At the last OGC meeting in Athens, the OGC Technical Committee members
approved release of 09-018 Web Coverage Service (WCS) extension for
CF-netCDF encoding, 1.0 as an OGC Discussion Paper.  The document 09-018
is posted here:
http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=32195
<http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=32195> 

 

The question now is what are the next steps?  Related issues are:

 

1. How can we insure the Discussion Paper really does get adequate
discussion?

 

2. After we are convinced that there has been adequate discussion,
should a revised version of the paper be submitted as a "best practices
paper" or should the next step be to propose it as a WCS extension
standard?"

3. The 3 week deadline for submission of documents for voting at the
next TC meeting (Boston, June 22-24) is approaching.  Do we want to
submit the paper as a best practices or extension standard document for
consideration by the TC at that meeting?  Clearly there has not been a
lot of discussion as yet, but such a submission might be a catalyst.

 

Your thoughts and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

 

-- Ben
