WIS 2.0 will phase out the use of routing tables and bulletin headers

BENEFITS:

  • Simplified message switching operations for all Members because routeing table maintenance no longer required.

  • Faster setup of new data-sharing arrangements as there is no need to wait for intermediate nodes to update their routeing table configuration.

With the elevation of Web services to a primary concern of WIS 2.0, the WIS Catalogue and the WMO Core Metadata specification[1] needs to be updated.
