This document will serve as a guideline that shows a common set of rules to help CEOS Agencies implement an OpenSearch service aligning with CEOS best practices, with the goal of achieving better interoperability among CEOS Agencies. Also, this document will be of benefit to those using CEOS portals or any client developer who is interested in CEOS satellite data and wants to make use of the satellite data catalogs in their application.
The CEOS OpenSearch Team is developing the CEOS OpenSearch Best Practices Guideline Document. This document will also include CWIC OpenSearch Best Practices information and standards for interoperability to facilite doscoery and access of data. The Best Practice Document draft was issued October 2014, during the WGISS-38 meeting and is available at http://www.ceos.org/images/WGISS/OpenSearch/CEOSOpenSearchBestPracticeDocument-draft.pdf
