Hi all
An open question please... I'm interested in finding out more about what progress has been made getting the NZ Topo series into OSM and what plans there are for the future - who should I contact?
Reuben Williams put together the NZ Topo series in http://www.nztopomaps.com see attached email. We've published a "guest blog" by Reuben on http://www.geospatial.govt.nz/nztopomaps-com-improving-access-to-nz-topo-series/.
I'd love to also promote what is being done with OSM. In particular, I'd love to post another "guest blog" that addresses questions for the reader, including:
* what have you done (if possible include a URL link)?
* how does OSM relate/compare to other initiatives, such as www.nztopomaps.com<http://www.nztopomaps.com>?
* what's been challenging/successful?
* who's funding/resourcing this project?
* how does this work relate to the Geospatial Strategy?
* next steps?
* who's involved?
* who would you like to work with/what are some things that other agencies could do to improve the service on offer to users?
* who can I contact to find out more?
If there's anything else you'd like to add feel free to offer this as well.
Many thanks!
John

It seems to be working. I just tested it using 3G mobile vodafone connection :-). Just see the layers.

Cadastral boundary imports is I think very useful for general public (e.g. agriculture, forestry, real estate developers, etc.)

Is the server cost or end user cost (download) in using the service?
If it is server cost, then probably host it somewhere cheaper.

OSM good data provider but just limited to roads, coastlines, POI.
Cadastral boundary would be good addition in the case OSM-NZ.
Thanks.

Hi Ben, Bruce et al,
For sure GeoNetwork supports ISO19119 services metadata. It also supports auto harvesting and building a service metadata record (and 19115 metadata records about any layers available from these services) from an OGC GetCapabilities URL for a variety of WxS (eg. WMS, WFS).
The original subject seems to be about finding out about available OGC WxS and in that context what might be nice for metadata managers (and perhaps others?) would be an ASDD service they could use to submit the URL of an OGC WxS service for listing in the ASDD. These could be held in a single metadata record or if important enough (how do we measure this? ASDD search stats?) their GetCapabilities info could be regularly harvested in order to build individual metadata records with more detail. (Of course the usefulness of the 'detail' in these harvested records depends on the people who manage these OGC services filling out the metadata fields so it can be harvested from the GetCapabilities request).
We have a similar problem to solve for Z3950 services searched by the ASDD but the situation is a little more constrained as we only plan to support the existing Z3950 nodes of the ASDD and Z3950 services are not self-describing (ie. no GetCapabilities) so the records will be hand crafted.
I'm working with John Hockaday on this so feel free to comment on anything here John.
Cheers,
Simon

Ben,
Perhaps we could list them via the new ASDD.
GeoNetwork will support services metadata in ISO 19119 format (with links ideally to the ASDD metadata describing the Service?s content).

Jodi and others,
I would be happy to host any list you develop on the new Gazetteer web site I mentioned in an earlier email. The new web site will be called OzMap and the gazetteer will be available under OzMap Places. We are already looking at providing a link to authoritative registers and vocabularies and so a list of WMS and WFS capabilities would also be very relevant.
Any thoughts on this?

This is actually a common question; perhaps one small thing we could do as a group is list WMS & WFS services available for the region on our wiki area?
