hi, The January edition of Pixel 2 People, the internal newsletter of the National Remote Sensing Center, ISRO's center for remote sensing has some interesting points about Bhuvan, a portal that it uses to "showcase" India's remote sensing data. The edition can be found here - http://www.nrsc.gov.in/assets/doc/ptop/P2P_JAN12.pdf
It claims: 1. Services of Bhuvan has now been enhanced with the new facilities like NRSC Open EO Data Archive (NOEDA) which facilitates the users to download IRS Data and Products coarser than 24 m with Metadata as per NSDI 2.0 and the thematic Services facilitate the users to access, query and utilise all these datasets as OGC web services. 2. Bhuvan services are OGC compliant such as WMS (Web Map Service), Web Map Tile Service (WMTS), WFS (Web Feature Service) and KML towards Interoperability. 3. Bhuvan also enables users to share and overlay maps and feature data through interoperability that implement the OGC WMS and WFS Interface and KML encoding standards. For instance, the Andhra Pradesh Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan is using Bhuvan services to show school information. 4. On other hand, Linux user group has brought out the Andriod app to access Bhuvan.
