Hi Luis,<br>
You have some good material in place, and a good document structure.<br>
I haven't had time to do much more than a quick skim, but have
picked up on a couple of things.<br>
(Hopefully you were looking for feedback?)<br>
<br>
I'm looking at the WMS Introduction page:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://54.68.173.163/el/wms/text/basic-main.html">http://54.68.173.163/el/wms/text/basic-main.html</a><br>
<br>
The page is missing a date stamp. It would be useful for a reader to
know if this page is still current? Possibly add a "Last Updated"
tag or similar.<br>
<br>
Nice idea to have a History section.<br>
This would probably be best structured as a table with:<br>
<br>
<version number> <Release date> <Summary of what
changed since last release><br>
<br>
Somewhere, probably in a separate document, there should be a
detailed description listing everything which has changed since the
last release.<br>
This will help implementers answer:<br>
* If I upgrade a legacy system to a more recent OGC standard, what
extra functionality will I gain? What incompatibility issues might
be encountered, if any?<br>
<br>
<br>
I like the "Relation to other Standards" section.<br>
It is good to explain why WFS would be used instead of WMS. I
suggest it would be valuable to explain the opposite as well. Why
would you use WMS instead of WFS (or instead of WMTS)? <br>
<br>
Example:<br>
I notice the example references an external URL (
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://metaspatial.net/">http://metaspatial.net/</a> ). For OGC branded material, I'd suggest
that all examples or references maintained on OGC infrastructure,
and not rely on a third party which may have different terms of
service.<br>
In particular, I'd suggest that all training material should make
use of relative URLs for web services from training material. Ie,
instead of referencing
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.opengeospatial.org/">http://www.opengeospatial.org/</a><services>/wms.cgi<br>
reference ../../<services>/wms/cgi<br>
That way, the training material, along with all the examples can be
copied into a virtual machine or similar and used in a classroom, or
...<br>
(We follow this convention with the OSGeo-Live project).<br>
<br>
Warm regards,<br>
Cameron<br>

<div>We have made some progress developing OGC online training

<div>I have updated the wiki to reflect the latest. Here we have
the logical groupings we are thinking about in order to make the
standards easier to digest and explain, and maybe in the future
to provide professionals OGC certification. </div>

<div>The source [1] should be easily reusable. We have design it
in a way that the documentation can be easily incorporated in
other places (e.g. OCG Live).</div>
