Gml Validation Based on Norwegian Standard GML VALIDATION BASED ON NORWEGIAN STANDARD Heng Min BACKGROUND GIS plays an important part in people’s life. Geographic data quality matters. Data validation is one data quality measurement method. Hundreds of geographic data formats => One standard exchanging data format => GML. Different countries define different models on the geographic world, and have different requirements on geospatial data quality => Norwegian standard MOTIVATION AND BENEFIT Controlling geographic data Software developer needs the quality can optimize the usage processes of planning, of the data, improve the order implementation, testing, of the GIS market, and also documenting, deployment and make GIS industry more maintenance to develop a attracting. complete software. And Four benefit object groups: planning is one of the most Data maintainer, Software important processes, developer, Standard Standard association may association, and end user. consider to standardize GML Data maintainer has validation. responsibility to offer high- End users can received quality dataset to the users. dataset from unknown Dataset needs validation resource and with unknown before being saved, sent and quality. In addition, end users shared. can use this to find errors in the dataset and correct them. CONTRIBUTION Build up a GML validation framework that combines existing XML validation with additional “application- specific” rules. Help to bring GML in official use in Norway. Not only dataset received validation, but also service validation. E.g. validation to WFS-T. RESEARCH QUESTIONS What is data validation? The process of ensuring that a program operates on clean, correct and useful data. It uses routines, often called "validation rules”, that check for correctness, meaningfulness, and security of data that are input to the system. What are the processes of developing the validation system? Like developing any other software, the processes mainly include planning, implementation, testing and documenting, deployment and maintenance, despite what development model to use. When should the data validation be used? Data validation is used before saving datasets in database. And it should be done when the dataset is changed, the product specification changed or the real world is changed. METHODOLOGY AND STRUCTURE The goal of the project is to develop a GML validation system. And the system includes three specific goal: requirements determination, approach, and result reporting. So all the literature researches are aiming to reach the goals. The method is that first find all relevant resources, and then analysis and choose the suitable and best solution from them. The figure shows the main contribution that each subject gives to the final goal. METHODOLOGY Road network product specification Simple features Geodata Modeling GML Requirements determination Inconsistency problem Data quality Geodata Quality Approach Relevant ISO standards SOSI-Control Results Related handling Work ESRI AcrGIS GeoTools GEOGRAPHIC DATA MODELING Real world is complicated. A data model is a set of constructs for describing and representing parts of the real world in a digital computer system. The presentation of the real world in our computer is the simplified world. From the reality to the physical store, two modeling processes: conceptual modeling and logical/operational model are needed. Conceptual modeling extract proper elements from part of the real world, and structure them with conceptual model language, UML, explain the definitions and constrains in a document. Logical modeling uses certain rules to realize and express the content of conceptual modeling to be understandable by the computer. NORWEGIAN ROAD NETWORK PRODUCT SPECIFICATION The road network product specification is the conceptual model for road network domain in Norway. It includes UML model and certain descriptions of the objects definitions, and constrains, and value domain, etc. The product specification is regarded that it covers and represents the road network phenomenon in real life perfectly, which means that it is consistent between the real life and the product specification. Some constrains and content defined in product specification can’t be described by the logical model (GML schema). Product specification is important resource for defining GML validation requirements. SIMPLE FEATURES The simple features define a geometry object model to describe the geospatial element of the real world. SIMPLE FEATURES Simple features also define a serial of geometry class operations. GML The Geography Markup Language (GML) is the XML grammar defined by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) to express geographical features. GML serves as a modeling language for geographic systems as well as an open interchange format for geographic transactions on the Internet. GML uses Simple Feature geometries. Core schema – Application schema – GML instance structure. 28 different standard core schemas imply the capacities of GML, and are the necessary frameworks for creating application schema. Application schema is for special usage. Primitives: feature, geometry, coordinate reference system, time, topology, dynamic feature, coverage, unit of measure, etc. INCONSISTENT PROBLEM DATA QUALITY ---- ISO STANDARDS DATA QUALITY ---- ISO STANDARDS RELATED WORK ---- ESRI ARCGIS ESRI ArctGIS is an integrated collection of GIS software products. It provides a standards-based platform for spatial analysis, data management, and mapping. Here the topology rules defined by ESRI are very useful and contributive to my thesis. The topology rules cover a lot of topology rules that are common used in many applications, and also some topology rules that are only suitable for some certain applications. So these topology rules are kind of very complete. For instance: Two lines must not overlap: Requires that lines not overlap with lines in the same feature class. This rule is used where line segments should not be duplicated. RELATED WORK ---- SOSI-CONTROL SOSI-Control is the current data quality control software used in Norway for SOSI data format. It checks the SOSI dataset against certain rules from the product specification. It is a similar quality control system with my thesis. So it gives certain experiences of how should the GML validation work, how to report the validation result, and it is also a short-cut to discover the rules that validate the consistency between dataset and product specification. The GML validation is more than the SOSI-Control, because it conforms to the ISO standard, and extend it with more complete topology checking. RELATED WORK ---- GEOTOOLS GeoTools is a free software (LGPL) GIS toolkit for developing standards (OGC) compliant solutions. The JTS Topology Suite is the toolkit that contains a number of function classes for topology checking. It conforms to simple feature geometry classes and spatial relations. E.g. run the function overlaps(geometry1, geometry2) , and it will return Boolean value True or False. JTS topology checking and validation are between two geometries. So to develop the GML validation using JTS, the dataset must have some pre-implement that extract the information in the dataset, and restore it with geometry object as unit. RESULT ---- VALIDATION REQUIREMENTS Besides the XML validation requirements, there are some more requirements needed for GML validation. Not all the data quality elements defined in ISO standard can be validated. Logical consistency element can be. All topology rules should be included. Avoid requirements redundancy. RESULT ---- VALIDATION REQUIREMENTS The GML file is well-formed; (XML validation) The GML file is valid against its schema; (XML validation) The GML file is conformed to its production specification; 1. All coordinates in the GML file have to be in the boundary defined; 2. The segments of one road have to be continuous and consistent; 3. The serial number of each element has to be unique; 4. Can't mix 2D and 3D coordinates in one feature; 5. Find out all the blind nodes which are the end point of a road and doesn't connect to another road; Topological consistency rules. RESULT ---- APPROACH The approach consists of three parts: XML validation, JTS topology suit, and Java programming. XML validation not only validate the well-form of the GML file, but also other capacities. The topology validation is to develop upon JTS topology suit. Java programming is first being compatible to JTS, and second to realize the functions that are beyond JTS, and third do pre-implementation before using JTS. RESULT ---- VALIDATION RESULT HANDLING The validation result can be handled in two ways. One is the common text report that contain the statistic information about what kind of errors are found, how many errors, and where are the errors. The other way is to further report the result as meta attaches to the dataset. The report format should be conformed to the ISO standard. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK The thesis builds a framework of GML validation based on Norwegian standard. The framework includes determining validation requirements, realizing approach, and result handling. The GML validation can validate the GML file against GML schema and extra rules, and a validated GML file is consistent to the corresponding product specification and follows certain topology rules. During the process of building the framework, necessary discussions of choices making were stated. The future work could be 1. Developing the GML validation software based on Norwegian standard for all domains; 2. Developing the GML validation system based on other standards. 3. Developing validation system of other data formats. 4. Correction system after the GML validation process. THANK YOU! QUESTIONS?.

  • Gvsos: a New Client for Ogc® Sos Interface Standard
    GVSOS: A NEW CLIENT FOR OGC® SOS INTERFACE STANDARD Alain Tamayo Fong i GVSOS: A NEW CLIENT FOR OGC® SOS INTERFACE STANDARD Dissertation supervised by PhD Joaquín Huerta PhD Fernando Bacao Laura Díaz March, 2009 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank to professors Joaquin Huerta and Michael Gould for their support during every step of the Master Degree Program. I would also like to thanks the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship program for giving me the chance to be part of this wonderful experience. Last, to all my colleagues and friends, thank you for making this time together so pleasant. iii GVSOS: A NEW CLIENT FOR OGC® SOS INTERFACE STANDARD ABSTRACT The popularity of sensor networks has increased very fast recently. A major problem with these networks is achieving interoperability between different networks which are potentially built using different platforms. OGC’s specifications allow clients to access geospatial data without knowing the details about how this data is gathered or stored. Currently OGC is working on an initiative called Sensor Web Enablement (SWE), for specifying interoperability interfaces and metadata encodings that enable real‐time integration of heterogeneous sensor webs into the information infrastructure. In this work we present the implementation of gvSOS, a new module for the GIS gvSIG to connect to Sensor Observation Services (SOS). The SOS client module allows gvSIG users to interact with SOS servers, displaying the information gathered by sensors in a layer composed by features. We present the detailed software engineering development process followed to build the module. For each step of the process we specify the main obstacles found during the development such as, restrictions of the gvSIG architecture, inaccuracies in the OGC’s specifications, and a set of common problems found in current SOS servers implementations available on the Internet.

  • (Iso19107) of the Open Geospatial Consortium
    Technical Report A Java Implementation of the OpenGIS™ Feature Geometry Abstract Specification (ISO 19107 Spatial Schema) Sanjay Dominik Jena, Jackson Roehrig {[email protected], [email protected]} University of Applied Sciences Cologne Institute for Technology in the Tropics Version 0.1 July 2007 ABSTRACT The Open Geospatial Consortium’s (OGC) Feature Geometry Abstract Specification (ISO/TC211 19107) describes a geometric and topological data structure for two and three dimensional representations of vector data. GeoAPI, an OGC working group, defines inter- face APIs derived from the ISO 19107. GeoTools provides an open source Java code library, which implements (OGC) specifications in close collaboration with GeoAPI projects. This work describes a partial but serviceable implementation of the ISO 19107 specifi- cation and its corresponding GeoAPI interfaces considering previous implementations and related specifications. It is intended to be a first impulse to the GeoTools project towards a full implementation of the Feature Geometry Abstract Specification. It focuses on aspects of spatial operations, such as robustness, precision, persistence and performance. A JUnit Test Suite was developed to verify the compliance of the implementation with the GeoAPI. The ISO 19107 is discussed and proposals for improvement of the GeoAPI are presented. II © Copyright by Sanjay Dominik Jena and Jackson Roehrig 2007 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Our appreciation goes to the whole of the GeoTools and GeoAPI communities, in par- ticular to Martin Desruisseaux, Bryce Nordgren, Jody Garnett and Graham Davis for their extensive support and several discussions, and to the JTS developers, the JTS developer mail- ing list and to those, who will make use of and continue the implementation accomplished in this work.

Jan. 2008 bei der Universität der Bundeswehr münchen eingereicht. Tag der Mündlichen Prüfung: 13. Mai 2008 2 3 Abstract With the rapid development of the GIS world, spatial data are being increasingly shared, transformed, used and re-used. The quality of spatial data is put in a high priority because spatial data of inadequate quality is of little value to the GIS community. Several main components of spatial data quality were indentified by international standardization bodies such as ISO/TC 211, OGC and FGDC, which consists of seven usual quality elements: lineage, positional accuracy, attribute accuracy, semantic accuracy, temporal accuracy, logical consistency and completeness (two different names for similar aspects of quality are grouped in the same category). In this dissertation our work focuses on the data consistency issue of the spatial data quality components, which involves the logical consistency as well as semantic and temporal aspects. Due to complex geographic data characteristics, various data capture workflows and different data sources, the final large datasets often result in inconsistency, incompleteness and inaccuracy. To reduce spatial data inconsistency and provide users the data of adequate quality, the specification of spatial data consistency requirements should be explicitly described.

  • Development of a Query Language for GML Based on Xpath∗
    Development of a Query Language for GML based on XPath∗ Jes´usM. Almendros-Jim´enez,Antonio Becerra-Ter´onand Francisco Garc´ıa-Garc´ıa University of Almer´ıa Almeria, Spain fjalmen,abecerra,[email protected] Abstract Geography Markup Language (GML) has been established as the standard language for the transport, storage and modelling of geographic information. In this paper we study how to adapt the XPath query language to GML documents. With this aim, we have defined a semantic based XPath language which is not based on the (tree-based) syntactic structure of GML documents, instead it is based on the \semantic structure" of GML documents. In other words, the proposed XPath language is based on the GML schema. We have developed a system called UALGIS, in order to implement the approach. Such system stores GML documents by means of the PostGIS RDBMS. In order to execute semantic-based XPath queries we have defined a translation of the queries into SQL. Such translation takes into account the GML schema. Finally, the system allows to visualize the result. With this aim, the result of a query is exported to the Keyhole Markup Language (KML) format. 1 Introduction The Geography Markup Language (GML) [7, 20, 21, 8] has been established as the standard language for the transport, storage and modeling of geographic information. GML is a dialect of the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) [27], which adapts XML to Geo-spatial data. XML allows to describe the structure of Web data by means of a tree. The tree structure is used to describe relations between data: for instance, a paper tag contains author, title and publisher as subtree tags and the subtree publisher can be described by means of name of the journal, country, editors, etc.
