[OWSLib-devel] WaterML2.0 support [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Dominic Lowe]

Hi Alex,

The WaterML support is a bit of an anomaly in OWSLib as it doesn't really access an OGC service, but instead just parses WaterML XML files.

That aside I reckon it would be fairly straightforward to modify/copy the 1.1 code here to support 2.0:
https://github.com/geopython/OWSLib/tree/master/owslib/waterml

It basically just parses the WaterML and looks for certain elements/attributes. 

See here for a usage example:
https://github.com/geopython/OWSLib/blob/master/tests/doctests/wml11_cuahsi.txt 

(What would be really cool though would be to specialise the SOS code to make a WaterML 2.0 aware SOS client.)

Cheers,
Dom

Subject: [OWSLib-devel] WaterML2.0 support

Dear all,

my name is Alex Kmoch, and I am a student in New Zealand, working with OGC stuff, particularly hydro-climate time-series data federation with research institutes and governmental agencies (GNS, NIWA, regional councils ...).

I have some Java background and worked a bit on and with the 52N SOS server (3.5, 4.0.0), but also did some custom developments for local hydro-climate and groundwater time-series legacy databases.

Now I am getting to the point where I'd like to ingest those services and do some basics statsitcs, but later also geostatistics etc. I found python could probably provide the most handy toolset (for my OO Java background, still knots in brain when looking at R :-) ).

So I found owslib already lists support for WaterML1.1.

My actual question is, is there WaterML at .0 support on the agenda? would you reckon, I could support that somehow?

Best regards,
Alex
