Discussion topics
Item | Item | Presenter | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Core vs. recommended (decision) Three categories of data to be exchanged:
To discuss and decide whether data, other than those core data specified in Manuals on the "core" topic; and whether those data will be cached by the Global Cache | Tom & All | https://github.com/wmo-im/wis2-guide/issues/7 Decisions:
Question: When ECMWF data is available on WIS2? (Baudouin) Local broker is running on Docker. Next step is to have a peer. (Rémy) The next step is ECMWF to provide the connection details (including Host/User/Password) to Secretariat, then GB (Météo France & CMA) to subscribe to the wis2node. GC (DWD & JMA) to cache the data. Contact focal points: Rémy from Météo France and Peng from CMA. |
2 | Transition Gateways (decision)
| Hassan & All
| Question: DWD forwards all the GTS traffic (Essential data) and messages publishes under Cache/a/gts/, are we going to use GTS headers in the TH (Topic Hierarchy)? Question: Who will be operating the Gateways? Action: (Hassan) to confirm with both DWD and JMA their willingness to play this role although apparently DWD is acting as GTS-to-WIS2 Gateway now. Question: GTS compiled bulletins vs small single message?
Question: GTS message should follow WIS2 TH?
Question: WIS2 to GTS Gateway (Enrico) When a center completes a list with GTS headers mapped to WIS2 TH, to be sent to Secretariat, and to be used by the WIS2 to GTS gateway, it can transit from GTS to WIS2 (Rémy) a static mapping list of GTS headers to WIS2 TH in migration, to be sent to Secretariat (Enrico) GTS headers vs TH mapping is not 1 vs 1, could be many vs 1 or 1 vs many. Question: who will be running WIS2 to GTS Gateway? Answer: (Hassan) During transition, maybe a simple and efficient solution is to add TTAAii to the message will make it easy for gateways to do the mapping from WIS2 to GTS.
Question: ICAO GTS headers usage concern? Discussion: (Enrico) they use GTS headers on SWIM, for MSS for a long time. Difficult to change their current working way. They are sending new data using GTS headers. Solution could be to extract the GTS headers from GTS manual and freeze the headers list. And it would be reserved only for ICAO users for update. (Rémy) Solution: to add TTAAii and relevant GTS information into property in notification message, to be read by the system and then send to GTS. (Enrico) Topology is different as the GTS. (Hassan) RTH does the mapping from GTS to WIS2 and send the data to the GTS. Agreed that, at INFCOM-3, we will inform all the centers to start transiting from GTS to WIS2 from 2024 to 2025. If not, the centers need to create a new channel to the Gateway. Question: who will be running the Gateway? (Enrico) Some RTH could play such roles. Potential solution: create an issue, describe the producing centers need to do, One or two (ideally) Gateways each way is needed.

3 | Notification mechanism on updated data (decision) |
| (Proposed solution): to create a new field in the property in message, value= create/update/delete , if multiple update messages are received, compare with pub_time Question: Any use cases of a new/updated message with same data_id with correction arriving?
