Executing<br> these validations may increase the level of interoperability<br> of SDIs by improving the compliance of geospatial data,<br> metadata and services.<br> o *Does the application make use of OGC standards? Which versions<br> of the standards? Client or server? You may wish to add comments<br> about how standards are used. *<br> + The ETF testing framework allows GIS data providers and<br> solution providers to check whether data sets, network<br> services and metadata meet the requirements defined on<br> specific Abstract and Executable Test Suites. The concepts<br> in ETF are based on ISO 19105 and the OGC Specification<br> Model which underpin the standards used in SDIs.<br> + Validation capabilities span a wide range of OGC standards.<br> For example, tests to validate WMS, WMTS, WFS, WCS, SOS and<br> CSW are available, which are also partially reusing the OGC<br> TEAM Engine suite.<br> o *What language is it written in? *<br> + Java, HTML, JavaScript, CSS<br> o *Which version of the application should be included in the next<br> OSGeo-Live release? *<br> + ETF 2.0<br><br> * *Stability is very important to us on OSGeo-Live. If a new user<br> finds a bug in one application, it will tarnish the reputation of<br> all other OSGeo-Live applications as well. (We pay most attention to<br> the following answers): *<br> o *If risk adverse organisations have deployed your application<br> into production, it would imply that these organisations have<br> verified the stability of your software. Has the application<br> been rolled out to production into risk (ideally risk adverse)<br> organisations? Please mention some of these organisations? *<br> + European Commission, Joint Research Centre (use of the ETF<br> testing framework as the core component of the INSPIRE<br> Reference Validator)<br> + Organisations in several EU Member States at the national<br> and regional level (using the ETF testing framework to<br> replicate the tests of the INSPIRE Reference Validator<br> and/or extending these tests to include tests to check<br> compliance with national requirements)<br> o *Open HUB<br> <<a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.openhub.net/__;!!DOxrgLBm!UvR1kftQcLgI0pIHnKKusY23bweSMhF9CdWZjAsWPgY49H9cK9Rs5HIqNIO4Ob1OtMqComw$">https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.openhub.net/__;!!DOxrgLBm!UvR1kftQcLgI0pIHnKKusY23bweSMhF9CdWZjAsWPgY49H9cK9Rs5HIqNIO4Ob1OtMqComw$</a>> <br><br> provides metrics to help assess the health of a project.

What is the Open HUB URL<br> for your project? *<br> + <a href="https://www.openhub.net/p/etf-validator">https://www.openhub.net/p/etf-validator</a><br> o *What is the size of the user community? You can often answer<br> this by mentioning downloads, or describing a healthy, busy<br> email list? *<br> + There is a mature user community developed around the main<br> implementations of the ETF testing framework. For example,<br> the number of downloads of the INSPIRE Reference Validator<br> (the most popular implemetation of the ETF) is approximately<br> between 1 and 3 hundreds for each release (see<br> <a href="https://hanadigital.github.io/grev/?user=etf-validator&repo=etf-webapp">https://hanadigital.github.io/grev/?user=etf-validator&repo=etf-webapp</a><br> <<a href="https://hanadigital.github.io/grev/?user=etf-validator&repo=etf-webapp">https://hanadigital.github.io/grev/?user=etf-validator&repo=etf-webapp</a>>) <br><br> and the discussions in the issue tracker demonstrate the<br> healthy and busy user community (see<br> <a href="https://github.com/INSPIRE-MIF/helpdesk-validator/issues/">https://github.com/INSPIRE-MIF/helpdesk-validator/issues/</a><br> <<a href="https://github.com/INSPIRE-MIF/helpdesk-validator/issues/">https://github.com/INSPIRE-MIF/helpdesk-validator/issues/</a>>).<br> o *What is the size of your developer community? *<br> + Currently, the developer community is mainly limited to the<br> two organisations which are funding the development of the<br> ETF, i.e. the European Commission and interactive<br> instruments (<a href="https://www.interactive-instruments.de/en">https://www.interactive-instruments.de/en</a><br> <<a href="https://www.interactive-instruments.de/en">https://www.interactive-instruments.de/en</a>>). Sometimes,<br> developers from organisations deploying the ETF at their<br> premise contribute code with ad hoc pull requests. Funding<br> to improve the developer community is currently available<br> and the submission of the ETF to the OSGeoLive is one of the<br> steps to increase such community.<br> o *Do you have a bug free, stable release? *<br> + Yes, ETF 2.0 is the latest stable release:<br> <a href="https://github.com/etf-validator/etf-webapp/releases/tag/2.0.0">https://github.com/etf-validator/etf-webapp/releases/tag/2.0.0</a><br> <<a href="https://github.com/etf-validator/etf-webapp/releases/tag/2.0.0">https://github.com/etf-validator/etf-webapp/releases/tag/2.0.0</a>><br> o *Please discuss the level of testing that your project has gone<br> through. *<br> + The ETF has a continuous integration cycle established in<br> the GitHub repository, where contributions to the source<br> code (which have to adhere to the contribution guidelines<br> <<a href="https://github.com/etf-validator/governance/blob/master/TOR/Contribution.md">https://github.com/etf-validator/governance/blob/master/TOR/Contribution.md</a>>) <br><br> pass through automatic validations. Subsequently, the<br> changes are manually reviewed and approved by the ETF<br> Technical Committee<br> <<a href="https://github.com/etf-validator/governance/blob/master/TOR/Technical_Committee.adoc">https://github.com/etf-validator/governance/blob/master/TOR/Technical_Committee.adoc</a>>. <br><br> o *How long has the project has had mature code. *<br> + The project is active since 2007 (see<br> <a href="https://github.com/etf-validator/etf-webapp/releases">https://github.com/etf-validator/etf-webapp/releases</a><br> <<a href="https://github.com/etf-validator/etf-webapp/releases">https://github.com/etf-validator/etf-webapp/releases</a>>); the<br> latest stable release (v.2.0) was released in 2019.<br><br> * *OSGeo-Live is targeted at applications that people can use rather<br> than libraries. Does the application have a user interface (possibly<br> a command line interface) that a user can interact with? (We do make<br> an exception for Incubated OSGeo Libraries, and will include Project<br> Overviews for these libraries, even if they don't have a user<br> interface.) *<br> o Yes, the ETF testing framework has a user interface.<br><br> * *We give preference to OSGeo Incubated Projects, or Projects which<br> are presented at FOSS4G<br> <<a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://foss4g.org__;!!DOxrgLBm!UvR1kftQcLgI0pIHnKKusY23bweSMhF9CdWZjAsWPgY49H9cK9Rs5HIqNIO4Ob1OHj1k4aA$">https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://foss4g.org__;!!DOxrgLBm!UvR1kftQcLgI0pIHnKKusY23bweSMhF9CdWZjAsWPgY49H9cK9Rs5HIqNIO4Ob1OHj1k4aA$</a>> <br><br> conferences.

This volunteer will be responsible for<br> ensuring the install scripts and English documentation are updated<br> by someone for each OSGeo-Live release. Also test that the installed<br> application and Quickstart documentation works as expected on<br> release candidate releases of OSGeo-Live.
