The aim of this study is to understand how open GIS technology and standards can be used to manage, process, and stream the geospatial content of the PSA archive across the Internet into existing mapping applications and software libraries. To support this goal, we will design and develop an OGC-compliant web mapping service prototype providing a specific interface for client applications to search, process, retrieve and visualise the Mars Express/ OMEGA mapping spectrometer data [6] currently available in the PSA. The interface will be designed to accommodate future needs as additional planetary surface data become available or additional functionalities are required. It is anticipated that this web mapping service will provide a practical open framework contributing to the international efforts to define an extension of the PDAP data model for planetary surface data [7][8]. Although it has been demonstrated that OGC web mapping standards can be applied to the planetary science domain, they have limitations that currently prevent the use of their full capability. This study will document such limitations and feed potential recommendations into the Planetary OGC Interoperability Experiment (Planetary IE), an international initiative coordinated by USGS Astrogeology Science Center to ensure that the planetary community will properly leverage future OGC specifications [9].
