titlePrinciple 4:

requires provision of Web service(s) to access or interact with digital resources (e.g. data, information, products) published using WIS.

Tip

BENEFIT:

  • Web services support 'machine-actionability' (i.e. the capacity of software systems to access, interoperate, and reuse data with little or no human intervention) because humans increasingly rely on computational support to deal with data as a result of an increase in volume, complexity, and velocity (i.e. creation speed) of data.

Tip

BENEFIT:

  • NMHSs develop their capacity to build and operate Web services, allowing them to extract more value from their data holdings through the delivery of higher value services to their users.

Note that the Manual on WIS (WMO-No. 1060) will be amended to specify the basic principles to which all Web services registered in WIS 2.0 shall conform. Based on the standards and conventions commonly used in their target user community (or communities), WMO programmes may identify particular technical specifications to which participating centres should conform in addition to the basic principles.
