FYI: OGC® OWS-10 Provenance Engineering Report

Dear Group -

The OGC recently completed OGC Web Services Test Bed 10. One of the “threads” was on cross community interoperability with a focus on provenance. There is now a public engineering report here:

https://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=59673

Abstract: The provenance activities reported in this document were part of the OGC Web Services 10 Cross Community Interoperability (CCI) thread. This OGC® document gives guidelines for the capture and documentation of provenance information at dataset, feature and attribute level. It only considers vector features (mainly, points and lines) and does not elaborate on the coverage data model (so it does not talk about provenance of raster information). It proposes an approach to use the W3C PROV standard with geospatial information that can come from different sources and are integrated through different processing steps. It also reviews the applicability of ISO19115 and ISO19115-2 lineage.

Thought this might be of interest.

Cheers
