Documents related to WIS 2.0 to be submitted to INFCOM-2
A demonstrator project workshop will take place in September and the report from the workshop will be used as the basis for the INFCOM-2 document.
WIS 2.0 Architecture and transition. Not ready to be published in Manual on WIS. Draft to be reviewed in 2022 and finally submitted to CG-19 (2023)
Real-time data exchange (GTS replacement)
Overall architecture. How many brokers? where? what for?
Organise transition from GTS to WIS2. Eg. RTHs could implement a GTS to WIS2 “interface” and when receiving data on their FTP server, publish the data using pub/sub and allow the direct download.
Catalogue and Search
Analysis of current WIS catalogue content
New experimental catalogue requirements and technical specs.
Proposal for catalogue migration
GISCs and other WIS Centers roles and services sharing
Considering the current functions in GISCs/DCPC/NC do a gap analysis
KPIs for WIS to WIS2 transition

Topic structure
Message structure
Filename and file content. With the new way of exchanging data and the growing number of higher frequency data, we need to consider retiring the practice of having several subsets (for different stations) in the same BUFR message. In some projects, we are already adopting an approach of having different files for each station and observation (still one BUFR per file).
