Dear all,In myOcean poject, we are looking for a "light discovery interface" on our data servers (THREDDS Data Server being the main software used for data dissemination).
I am wondering if providing opensearch interface on THREDDS catalogs is something which may be considered in future releases of THREDDS Data Server.
I have seen different documentations about software which provide opensearch interface with THREDDS catalogue inputs :
GI-CAT : http://essi-lab.eu/cgi-bin/twiki/view/GIcat/THREDDSGuide A slide show about THREDDS+opensearch : http://vimeo.com/30452893An opensearch interface directly provided by THREDDS Data Server would prevent data providers from installing and maintaining additional software.
Besides THREDDS provides metadata/search protocols which we could use : http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/THREDDS/tech/tds4.2/reference/ncISO.html But the iso19115 is not the kind of metadata service we are searching for.An OGC/CSW with Dubin-core metadata may also be an interesting alternative to opensearch.
Have you any update plans for this ncISO services ?We might also use the THREDDS XML but an overall search interface on which criteria could be applied could be interesting.
Thanks very much, Thomas -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Thomas LOUBRIEU IFREMER IDM/ISI BP70 29280 Plouzane FRANCE email: Thomas.Loubrieu@xxxxxxxxxx WWW : http://www.coriolis.eu.org/cdc Tel.: (+33) (0)2 98 22 48 53 Fax: (+33) (0)2 98 22 46 44 -------------------------------------------------------------
