Service metadata validation in Spatineo Monitor Ilkka Rinne Spatineo Inc. INSPIRE MIG validation workshop JRC/Ispra, 15th & 16th May 2014 Spatineo Linnankoskenkatu 16 A 17 FI-00250 Helsinki +358 20 703 2210 Copyright Spatineo
Continuous availability monitoring for Spatial Web Services including alerting capabilities. Interactive visual tools for analyzing the Quality of Service of Spatial Web Services and their usage by user segments, data set, area of interest etc. Graphical and spreadsheet reports for trends in usage by service, data set, user country etc. Maintenance break planning and announcement for the service user community. Service metadata validation. Copyright Spatineo
Motivation for validation in Spatineo Monitor Provide and easy way for the data providers to check that they have configured their service instance correctly to serve the compliant service metadata. Not intended for validating the full metadata records for the service or the provided data sets for INSPIRE conformance. Not intended to be used for testing server products against the OGC specification compliance. Copyright Spatineo
Currently supported validation targets OGC Web Map Service 1.3 OGC Web Map Tile Service 1.0 INSPIRE View Services profile of ISO 19128:2005 (WMS 1.3) INSPIRE View Services profile of WMTS 1.0.0 (incomplete) Copyright Spatineo
Validator implementation Java code based on Apache XMLBeans: XML Schema -based validation Tests for the for specification s requirements coded directly in Java by pedantically following the specification / guideline texts. Test code is closed source code at the moment, but we d be delighted to move into using a reliable commonly agreed validator service. We ll continue to use our own UI integrated with the Spatineo Monitor requirement for a validator API. Copyright Spatineo
Current validator limitations Only validates the Capabilities files, not the referred external metadata. Does not test other operations than GetCapabilities (but the availability, capacity and performance are covered by other functionalities / products) No validation support for WFS Download Services. No validation support for Atom Download Services Copyright Spatineo
Development plans Spatineo validator development has been mostly on hold for the last year or so, partly because of on-going discussion about the common INSPIRE validator. The tool has been acclaimed by our customers, but we don t really want to duplicate code for the test suites: We d rather re-use the OGC CITE tests and contribute to the INSPIRE reference implementation provided that we can integrate it to the current application as a service.

Our workshop in the INSPIRE Conference Practical quality assurance of spatial web services Topic: Evaluating and improving the quality-of-service (QoS) level of the spatial web services as experienced the the end-users. Participants learn about the QoS requirements specified of the INSPIRE Technical Guidance documents for View and Download Services, and are engages in practical discussion on finding the best methods methods for evaluating all the three of the INSPIRE service QoS aspects: availability, performance and capacity. Learn how to use top-of-the-line existing software tools for evaluating WMS, WFS and WMTS availability, capacity and performance, and have a possibility to setup and run short online performance tests against their own spatial web services. Learn what the Spatineo Monitor and the new Spatineo Performance tools can offer for the data providers. Tuesday, June 17th 09:00-12:00 Badstuestræde 9/auditorium 1 Copyright Spatineo
