Implemented as a component of a web services-oriented architecture this product nicely integrates into Spatial Data Infrastructure implementations. These implementations are often characterized by their web portal applications supporting the discovery of meta-data about geo-spatial data and geo-processing services. CubeWerx® WRS supports the discovery and binding to these web resources using the latest OGC Catalog version 2.0 Specification adopted by the OpenGIS® Consortium in August 2004.

“This new product is part of the CubeWerx mandate to respond to Spatial Data Infrastructure requirements using web-enabled and interoperable specifications,” said Edric Keighan. “CubeWerx continues to be in the right place at the right time responding to SDI requirements and anticipating how geo-spatial standards will evolve. Designed and implemented as a standalone information retrieval specification the OGC Catalog 1.0 has evolved into a true web-based specification presented as an integrated element to a services-oriented architecture.”

CubeWerx and its distributors, Geoleaders in the U.S. and MapWerks in Australia invite organizations that have implemented geo-data discovery capabilities to discover the cost benefits of evolving your current implementation using a web services-oriented architecture. Some benefits include the ability to cost effectively support one or more meta-data models including changes to these meta-data models over time, ability to support meta-data discovery across meta-data models using the concept of core properties, ability to support search and discovery of OGC web services meta-data in addition to well known meta-data about geo-spatial data, ability to support associations between meta-data objects, ability to categorize meta-data objects, and the ability to dynamically support web-enabled meta-data transactions in a dynamic SDI environment etc…

As a result of CubeWerx’s direct involvement in the development of the recently approved OCG Catalog 2.0 Specification, the CubeWerx® Web Registry Server is now available and one of the very few SCOTS products that will conform to the new OGC Catalog 2.0 Specification.
