[Incubator] Application for OSGeo Community Project - ETF testing framework

MINGHINI Marco Marco.MINGHINI at ec.europa.eu
Wed Jul 6 01:48:04 PDT 2022 

Dear Jody,

thanks a lot for the work, the page is live and looks nice!


If I understand correctly, the next step for the ETF to become an OSGeo Community Project is the approval from the OSGeo Board. Do you know when this could happen? We remain available in case any additional information or action is needed from our side.


Kind regards,

Marco - on behalf of the ETF Steering Group

Asked for some help, there were three validation errors - the "info sheet" links were missing URLs (for example).
Please have a look the page should be live now :)

Thanks! Published -

Note I changed the project type to none, as your project has not yet been reviewed and recommended to the osgeo board for acceptance to that program. Now that your project is on the website we should be able to review...

Dear Jody,

thank you for getting back to us.


  1.  Logo was changed, please let me know if this is ok.
  2.  I removed "open source" (which was obvious) and now the initial sentence "ETF is a testing framework for validating data and APIs in Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs)" should (almost) all be visible, which is great because it tells what the sw does. Thanks for the hint.
  3.  We would leave it as is now, but good to know (for future updates).

Please let us know if anything else is needed from our side.

Best regards,
Marco

Checking your page:

1. Nice logo :) Please use the white background to construct a tile of the appropriate size (if not our website does not look good)
2. The initial blurb may be too long for the project summary page (see https://www.osgeo.org/projects/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.osgeo.org/projects/__;!!DOxrgLBm!A42ERRV71VmuN7AfYnNu37JVZzFFdkekBm3POx8h8Df6MhhmfnZv_NGD_UWW3-MlT98pLsd3v_gt29pJn_DVwvyTlLdG2Q$> for example). Try for a sentence fragment or tagline - you do not even have enough space for a sentence.
3. Love the screen shot, it is so important for folks to see what they are going to be doing. If appropriate you can surround in a browser frame or laptop frame similar to (https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/tree/master/marketing/photos<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/tree/master/marketing/photos__;!!DOxrgLBm!A42ERRV71VmuN7AfYnNu37JVZzFFdkekBm3POx8h8Df6MhhmfnZv_NGD_UWW3-MlT98pLsd3v_gt29pJn_DVwvxPLKeunw$>).

If you can fix the logo I am happy to publish.

Dear Jody, all,

the page about the ETF on the OSGeo website is now ready for review and publication. You can find it as a draft page in the Projects section (permalink: https://www.osgeo.org/projects/etf/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.osgeo.org/?post_type=project&p=18897&preview=true__;!!DOxrgLBm!A42ERRV71VmuN7AfYnNu37JVZzFFdkekBm3POx8h8Df6MhhmfnZv_NGD_UWW3-MlT98pLsd3v_gt29pJn_DVwvyZxGHuMg$>). The guide you suggested was useful!


>From the discussion with the ETF Steering Group on the creation of this page, I collected some suggestions for potential improvement:


- in the list of options under the menu Topic, you may want to add somewhere "Validation" (for example under Analysis and Processing). This would be also useful for the TEAM Engine, which is already an OSGeo Project;


- in the list of Standards, you may want to add "ISO 19105" under the ISO menu.

Finally, I'm happy to share with you that the talk on the ETF we submitted to FOSS4G 2022 was included in the main program that has just been published (on Friday 26 August at 11:30).

Please let us know if any change or additional information is needed from us.

Best regards,
Marco - on behalf of the ETF Steering Group

Excellent, you should be able to create a page now, let us know when it is ready and we can review and publish.

I am sorry there are not any great guides on how to make a page; the best I have is this one for setting up a service provider: https://www.osgeo.org/community/getting-started-osgeo/add-service-provider/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.osgeo.org/community/getting-started-osgeo/add-service-provider/__;!!DOxrgLBm!BWR_GtUuaY1I8yUZ-qL6McHKXcwYhLLfdKSXOwwpcEs_-8tmMlSadFljFny0KR-ouhcyoZW8yW-_ZjtuNBrFx8z0zadajw$>

Dear Jody,

apologies for the late reply. Yes, I have an OSGeo user id from the past: "MarcoMinghini". Could you grant permissions and send me some instructions on how to create the project page?


Thank you and best regards,

Marco

Thank you for the clear well prepared proposal.

Let's start with getting listed on the osgeo website do you have an osgeo user id (please create one here<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://id.osgeo.org/ldap/create__;!!DOxrgLBm!ATzLoBqhKGychF44YSJ8XI-z88iWXEe1GPR0nyn1DOoSDlTdfDHrSumBRyVBcOgiMbQjuQ0QCQlrOh6qNFU8tyNDqWxeXA$>, and login to the osgeo.org<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://osgeo.org__;!!DOxrgLBm!ATzLoBqhKGychF44YSJ8XI-z88iWXEe1GPR0nyn1DOoSDlTdfDHrSumBRyVBcOgiMbQjuQ0QCQlrOh6qNFU8tyMpbAWkug$> once, then reply to this email with your osgeo user id, then we can grant permissions to make a project page).

Dear OSGeo Incubation Committee,


I am happy to contact you to propose a new project, the ETF testing framework, as an OSGeo Community Project.


The ETF testing framework [1,2] is an open source testing framework for validating spatial data, metadata and web services in Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs). The concepts in ETF are based on ISO 19105 and the OGC Specification Model which underpin the standards used in SDIs. Tests are organized in Executable Test Suites (ETS), which can be developed and executed using different tools to support all kinds of resources. Currently supported ones are SoapUI for testing web services, BaseX for testing XML documents, and TEAM Engine for re-using OGC tests. The ETF can be used via a predefined UI or via a REST API.


Many implementations of the ETF are currently available. The most popular is probably the INSPIRE Reference Validator [3], which makes use of the ETF to execute INSPIRE-specific ETS. Several EU Member States are also using the ETF (at different levels: national, regional and local) to replicate the INSPIRE-specific tests and/or extend them with other tests based on national or other requirements.


The ETF has been already presented at FOSS4G conferences:

  *   FOSS4G 2019: INSPIRE Reference Validator: status and next steps by Marco Minghini, Michael Lutz, Clemens Portele, Jon Herrmann, Enrique Soriano, Carlos Palma, Iñaki Díaz de Cerio Paniagua, Belén Sáez, Lorena Hernandez, Daniele Francioli, Fabio Vinci
  *   FOSS4G 2021: Open source geospatial software powering policy implementation: the INSPIRE central infrastructure components by Marco Minghini, Alexander Kotsev, Vlado Cetl, Lorena Hernandez, Michael Lutz, Daniele Francioli, Davide Artasensi, Emanuela Epure, Fabio Vinci, Fabiano Spinelli, Lukasz Ziemba (https://callforpapers.2021.foss4g.org/foss4g2021/talk/ZKRWYN/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://callforpapers.2021.foss4g.org/foss4g2021/talk/ZKRWYN/__;!!DOxrgLBm!ATzLoBqhKGychF44YSJ8XI-z88iWXEe1GPR0nyn1DOoSDlTdfDHrSumBRyVBcOgiMbQjuQ0QCQlrOh6qNFU8tyME_6fb9A$>)
  *   FOSS4G 2022: ETF testing framework: past, present and future by Jon Herrmann, Marco Minghini, Clemens Portele, Michael Lutz (submitted and currently under review)

We are also preparing an application to include the ETF in the next version of the OSGeoLive.


Regarding the checklist for OSGeo Community Projects [4]:

1. The project is geospatial, see the project description at [1] and [5].

  *   the project does not yet have a page on the OSGeo website, we understand that this is the first step
  *   the project provides documentation for users [6] administrators [7] and developers [8].

2. The project is licensed under the EUPL v.1.2, see [9].
3. The project welcomes participation and new contributors:

  *   contribution policy: [10]
  *   history of bug reports and pull requests can be found on the repositories under [2], especially on [5].
  *   code of conduct: [11]

We are available to answer any question and provide any useful information to proceed with the next steps.


Best regards,

Marco - on behalf of the ETF Steering Group
