Hi Luis,
Yes, I think that this OGC E-Leaning material would be an excellent
candidate for including in OSGeo-Live documentation, once the
documentation is suitably mature, and any packaging tweaks are addressed.
I'm CCing the OSGeo-Live email list to see if there are others within
the OSGeo-Live community with suggestions.
Luis,
Do you have a timeframe in mind for a "version 1" of this training
material? Where version 1 would have sufficient content and quality to
be considered production worthy and something that we would consider
worthy of including in OSGeo-Live. Version 1 might not include all
standards, but would probably include quality descriptions of the most
used standards.
Cheers, Cameron

Hi Cameron
I appreciate very much your great feedback. I have created 4 issues
[1] in GitHub with your 4 concerns. We will be commenting on those as
we make progress.
Question: Can you use the materials with the current structure for
OSGeo-Live?

Hi Luis,
You have some good material in place, and a good document structure.
I haven't had time to do much more than a quick skim, but have picked
up on a couple of things.
(Hopefully you were looking for feedback?)
I'm looking at the WMS Introduction page:
http://54.68.173.163/el/wms/text/basic-main.html
The page is missing a date stamp. It would be useful for a reader to
know if this page is still current? Possibly add a "Last Updated" tag
or similar.
Nice idea to have a History section.
This would probably be best structured as a table with:
<version number> <Release date> <Summary of what changed since last
release>
Somewhere, probably in a separate document, there should be a
detailed description listing everything which has changed since the
last release.
This will help implementers answer:
* If I upgrade a legacy system to a more recent OGC standard, what
extra functionality will I gain? What incompatibility issues might be
encountered, if any?
I like the "Relation to other Standards" section.
It is good to explain why WFS would be used instead of WMS. I suggest
it would be valuable to explain the opposite as well. Why would you
use WMS instead of WFS (or instead of WMTS)?
Example:
I notice the example references an external URL (
http://metaspatial.net/ ). For OGC branded material, I'd suggest that
all examples or references maintained on OGC infrastructure, and not
rely on a third party which may have different terms of service.
In particular, I'd suggest that all training material should make use
of relative URLs for web services from training material. Ie, instead
of referencing http://www.opengeospatial.org/<services>/wms.cgi
reference ../../<services>/wms/cgi
That way, the training material, along with all the examples can be
copied into a virtual machine or similar and used in a classroom, or ...
(We follow this convention with the OSGeo-Live project).
Warm regards,
Cameron

All,
We have made some progress developing OGC online training material.
I have updated the wiki to reflect the latest. Here we have the
logical groupings we are thinking about in order to make the
standards easier to digest and explain, and maybe in the future to
provide professionals OGC certification.
https://github.com/opengeospatial/e-learning/wiki/Content
The source [1] should be easily reusable. We have design it in a way
that the documentation can be easily incorporated in other places
(e.g. OCG Live).
For example
- introduction to OGC can be found here in the intro-ogc.rst file [2]
- introduction to WMS 1.3 [3]
We also have demo server with the content created so far:
http://54.68.173.163/el/
Help, feedback and comments are appreciated.
