Our work Finding OGC Web Services in the Digital Earth will be presented during the DE2010 workshop (Towards Digital Earth: Search, Discover and Share Geospatial Data) at Future Internet Symposium which takes place in Berlin next Monday, 20th Sept. 2010.
Abstract. The distribution of OGC Web Catalogues (CSW) across professional communities, the expert profile of the catalogue user and also the low coverage of OGC Web Services (OWS) in standard search engines reduce the possibility of discovery and sharing geographic information. This paper presents an approach to simple spatio-temporal search of OWS retrieved from the web by a specialized crawler. The Digital Earth could benefit from this solution as it overcomes technical boundaries and solves the limitation of CSW acceptance only within professional community.
