Workplan (see CBS-MG-17 final report, pages 86, OPAG-ISS Work Plan, TT-eWIS01 and TT-eWIS02)
WIS documentation
Manual on WIS (WMO-No. 1060) PART III. §3.5, §3.6 and §3.7; functional requirements of a GISC, DCPC and NC respectively. However, participants should be aware that WIS 2.0 will like change how some of the functions of WIS are delivered - in particular, recognising that moving files from place to place is just one form of data access. The functional requirements in 3.5-3.7 must be reviewed to determine whether they continue to be appropriate. Similarly, a working knowledge of Manual on WIS (WMO-No. 1060) APPENDIX D WIS TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS and Guide to WIS (WMO-No. 1061) APPENDIX B. WIS TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS – USE CASES would also be beneficial.WIS 2.0 strategy (§4.1.8) draw heavily on standards and recommendations from the W3C and OGC. The following documents provide a foundation upon which WIS 2.0 can build. Templates for submissions
