Revise OGC service handling #25

Open roomthily opened 9 years ago

roomthily commented 9 years ago

Merging issues into one comprehensible thing.

Decision made: fork OWSLib, add WMS 1.3.0 (at a minimum), revise parsers to for OGC to use this lib (ignore remainders in that I don't actually think there will be any). We will still need to handle the endpoint definitions! and I will put together a parser for WMS 1.1.1 and one of the WFS/WCS versions (supported and we have an example for) to start to scope that out.

Tasks:

For OWSLib reference: these are the high priority (as of the last harvest, so grain of salt): image

OWSLib Version Support Notes

WMS GetCapabilities 1.3.0 & 1.0.0 :collision: (that's too bad - it can't handle most of the current arcgis services - 1.3.0) (see https://github.com/geopython/OWSLib/issues/25 for feature request from 2012) image

WMS GetCapabilities 1.1.1 :thumbsup: (just to demonstrate that it installed correctly, etc)

In [7]: wms = WebMapService('http://disc1.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/daac-bin/wms_trmm?service=wms&version=1.1.1&request=getcapabilities', version='1.1.1')

In [8]: wms.identification.title
Out[8]: 'Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Data from NASA Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC)'

Contributing back to owslib would mean handling any writes/posts as well as the reads we're most interested in. And they seem not to be merging pull requests for the larger needs (swe/sos implementation, etc). (they didn't merge the pull request but added sos 2.0 anyway so not sure what's going on with that.)

Somewhat related (but more about crawling than parsing) a python THREDDS service crawler - https://github.com/asascience-open/thredds_crawler and https://svn.oss.deltares.nl/repos/openearthtools/trunk/python/OpenEarthTools/openearthtools/io/opendap/opendapcrawler.py

Handling Version Support

Let's talk about the changes related to namespacing and default paths. I need to scope this out better (apologies).

_Update: _ the root element name changes are an easy patch (and that's been made, see https://github.com/b-cube/semantics-preprocessing/commit/8f14e4e14d4665b95a11e49905bd2a1b9c293959).

WMS

1.0.0:

1.1.1:

Root node identification issues here:

<!DOCTYPE WMT_MS_Capabilities SYSTEM "http://schemas.opengis.net/wms/1.1.1/WMS_MS_Capabilities.dtd"
 [
 <!ELEMENT VendorSpecificCapabilities EMPTY>
 ]>  <!-- end of DOCTYPE declaration -->

<WMT_MS_Capabilities version="1.1.1">

1.3.0: not using the OWS schema (retains a very similar structure to earlier versions). The format lists are, finally, well structured and not relying on element names.

WFS

1.0.0: Uses the element tag as format (or other parameter) value. Mix of "standard" values and controlled vocab-like terms.

1.1.0: Switches to the OWS structure with normalized Format (or other parameter) value lists.

WCS

1.0.0: uses the "older" standard of WxS_Capabilities as the root node.

1.1.2: Oddly, does not use WxS_Capabilities as the root node (just Capabilities) and is using the OWS namespace after root. This is an outlier across the services
