Document Title (click to download) Version Document # Editor Date
07-092r1 Change Proposal--Add urn values for nil definitions  1  08-039  David Burggraf  2008-03-06
08-020 SPS Change Request  1  08-020  Ingo Simonis  2008-02-22
Catalogue (CSW) 2.0.2 CR: ElementName schema declaration contradicts specification  1  08-117  R. Martell  2008-08-07
The csw:ElementName declaration in the CSW-discovery.xsd schema assigns the type xsd:QName. However, this prohibits the use of XPath expressions as described in cl. 10.8.4.9 and invalidates Example 1.
Catalogue (CSW) 2.0.2 CR: Filter_Capabilities element is mandatory  1  08-099  R. Martell  2008-07-21
The element that is introduced as an extension element in csw:CapabilitiesType is required; this is inconsistent with the other top-level elements defined in OWS Common (OGC 05-008), all of which are optional in order to permit selective retrieval using the ‘sections’ parameter.
Catalogue (CSW) 2.0.2 CR: Service & version request parameters have fixed values  1  08-098  R. Martell  2008-07-21
The service and version request parameters defined in the CSW part (cl. 10) have fixed values (“CSW” and “2.0.2”, respectively) that prohibit profiling.

Filter 1.1 CR: Missing geometry types in GeometryOperandType definition  1  08-100  R. Martell  2008-07-21
The enumerated type ogc:GeometryOperandType incompletely covers GML 3.1 geometry types and omits several rudimentary types allowed by the GML Simple Features Profile (GMLSF 1.0, OGC 06-049).

GML CR - add temporal aggregates  1  08-108  Simon Cox  2008-08-02
A small number of temporal aggregate types are missing from GML, so had do be defined in SWE Common. GML should assume ownership of these.
GML CR - allow "double" in TimePositionUnion  1  08-106  Simon Cox  2008-08-02
Representation of time position in GML does not allow the scientific "e" notation. This is inconsistent with the rest of GML where "xs:double" is the generic numeric form.

GML CR - clarify identifier usage  1  08-110  Simon Cox  2008-08-02
GML provides gml:id, gml:identifier and gml:name for labels and identifiers. This CR proposes to add more guidance about how to use these.
GML CR - deprecate various components  1  08-114  Simon Cox  2008-08-03
Some components in GML are immature, redundant, or would be better implemented outside the GML namespace. This CR identifies a number of those and recommends that they be marked "deprecated" pending them being refactored in a future version of GML
GML CR - encoding rule for association class  1  08-109  Simon Cox  2008-08-02
A simple encoding rule for association classes is shown. This works by converting an association class into an equivalent intermediate class, then following the standard encoding rule.
GML CR - encoding rule for UML redefine  1  08-112  Simon Cox  2008-08-02
UML redefine (override) is not currently implemented as a GML encoding rule. This CR proposes a solution, which requires one new tagged value, and Schematron.
GML CR - replace dictionary schema with SKOS  1  08-111  Simon Cox  2008-08-02
The GML dictionary schema was a stop-gap pending the emergence of more standardized solutions. SKOS from W3C is a functional replacement.
GML CR - replace dictionary schema with SKOS  1  08-111r1  Simon Cox  2008-08-03
Dictionary and definition components were included in GML as a stop-gap, pending the appearance of standarized mechanisms. W3C SKSO is now available and provides a functional replacement.

SOS InsertResult Change Request  1  08-177  Kuo-Yu slayer Chuang, Hsu-Chun Yu  2008-11-05
The GetResult operation allows a client to repeatedly obtain sensor data from the same set of sensors. But there is no corresponding InsertResult operation that allows a client to repeatedly upload sensor data.

Add the InsertResult operation to the transaction operations profile or the enhanced operations profile. A client has to upload the observation template only in the first time, and then it can upload sensor data without format description, so as to reduce network bandwidth usage and increase uploading efficiency.

SPS_Change_Request_02_2008  1  08-020r1  Ingo Simonis  2008-02-23
SPS_WPS Change REquest  1  08-037  Pat Cappelaere  2008-03-03
This is a change request to dissolve the SPS and WPS specifications to treat them as workflows under the Business Process Management definition.
SOAP bindings have been defined for workflows (see the Workflow Management Coalition work of Wf-XML) which also address WS-Notification and WS-Addressing. A RESTful approach has been proposed as part of OWS-5: WfXML-R.

The final product of this change request ought to be the official release within the OGC and WfMC communities in June 2009 of WFXML and WfXML-R with any enhancements if needed.
