Four scenarios under evaluationFour scenarios under evaluation
• User accesses dataset from a single source• Overlaying datasets from multiple sources• Joining datasets from multiple sources• Derived product – adding content• GeoDRM Reference Model document being written as a
result of investigations into applying existing IP management technology in a geospatial context
• OGC Web Services (OWS) 3.0 has a GeoDRM thread supported by requirements from GeoConnections Canada to test click-through licensing

Project GeoDRM.LicenseProject GeoDRM.License
• SDI Joint Project:– German: Nutzungsbedingungen
– Goal: SDI Application “tim-online” with interoperable License Click-Through, (www.tim-online.nrw.de, was rated #1 of 25 projects last year, very large web access numbers)
– Based on geoDRM.OWS3 – Run by state NRW– License Click-through was recommended at the EuroSDR&eurogi
meeting in February by policy makers– 6 Member institutions

OWS-3 Status & HighlightsOWS-3 Status & Highlights
• Status– Nearly all service implementations on-line– Integration testing underway– Interoperability Program Reports (IPRs) being drafted– Demo planning and data management in high gear
• Highlights– SensorML and TransducerML blending– OpenLS Thread is independent, except for demo– Portrayal requires interaction of several OWS services– Start up of a new service GeoVideo
