GEOSS Component and Service Registry - API Interface Version 2  

What's new in Version 2.2? (Deployed into operation on Oct. 28, 2011)

1. Merged components and services into resources.
2. Merged component registration form and service registration form into one registration page.
3. Service interfaces can be registered independently.
4. Updated resource category list.
5. Added resource sharing properties (GEOSS Data-CORE).
6. Added Earth Observation vocabulary (ontology reference).
7. Added Standards/Special Arrangements Reference Information for general resource registration.

 

What's new in Version 2.1? (Deployed into operation on March. 5, 2010)

Component record's id value has been updated to have "urn:geoss:csr:component:" in front of the previous unique identifier. Service record's id value has been updated to have "urn:geoss:csr:service:" at the beginning, followed by the previous unique identifier.
Those GEOSS Clearinghouses that have already harvested part or all of the CSR records are expected to perform a re-harvest. GEOSS Clearinghouses may take advantage of these two new URNs as a clue to identify these CSR records, among others harvested from different community catalogs.

 

What's new in Version 2? (Deployed into operation on Dec. 21, 2009)

1. Only approved records (Component or Service) will be retrieved.
2. Only standardIDs will be returned in the Service record.
Clearinghouses, Web Portals and other CSR clients need to issue a HTTP Get request to SIR to know the details about referenced standard(s).The exact HTTP Get KVP looks like:
http://seabass.ieee.org/groups/geoss/index.php?option=com_sir_200&Itemid=157&ID=STANDARDID
where STANDARDID needs to be replaced with the exact standardID returned in the response. Please check out "Response Example - for Service" section below for details.

 

Brief Introduction

The GEOSS registry exposes OGC CSW interfaces to be accessed by other applications, including GEOSS Clearinghouses, Web Portal solutions. The UDDI and OASIS ebXML-ebRS interfaces will be ready soon. Clearinghouse implementations can use the GEOSS registry to register and locate GEOSS catalog services as a basis for evaluation, configuration, harvest, and distributed query.

 

This OGC CSW Interface follows OGC 07-006r1: OpenGIS Catalogue Service Implementation Specification (Ver.2.0.2), HTTP Protocol Binding. It supports GetCapabilities, DescribeRecord, GetRecordByID, and GetRecords funtions.

 

Service Address

http://geossregistries.info:1090/GEOSSCSW202/discovery

 

GetCapabilities

The mandatory GetCapabilities operation allows CSW clients to retrieve service metadata from a server. The response to a GetCapabilities request shall be an XML document containing service metadata about the server. This subclause specifies the XML document that a CSW server shall return to describe its capabilities.

This GetCapabilities HTTP Get Request Example contains the following KVPs:

Request=GetCapabilities
Service=CSW
Version=2.0.2

 

DescribeRecord

The mandatory DescribeRecord operation allows a client to discover elements of the information model supported by the target catalogue service. The operation allows some or all of the information model to be described.

This DescribeRecord HTTP Get Request Example contains the following KVPs:

Request=DescribeRecord
Service=CSW
Version=2.0.2
NAMESPACE=xmlns(rim=urn:oasis:names:tc:ebxml-regrep:xsd:rim:3.0)

 

GetRecordById

The GetRecordById function returns the detailed information for some specific objects (Components and/or Services) of interest.

This GetRecordById HTTP Get Request Example contains the following KVPs:

Request=GetRecordById
Service=CSW
Id=urn:uuid:85fd419c-081b-4e69-8998-d1003b5d4489:1.4,urn:uuid:a9ad5a4b-1589-4876-a149-904fc5a9fef0:1.8

GetRecords

The mandatory GetRecords operation works as the primary mean of resource discovery in the HTTP protocal binding. It does a search and a piggybacked present. Only XML encoding is supported at this moment.
