Frequently asked questionsFrequently asked questions
Q1: Will there still be a GTS data exchange mechanism as we know it today?
A1:A1: Yes, but more flexible and based on WMO TDCFYes, but more flexible and based on WMO TDCF
Q2: With several NCs within a country, what is the role of the NMC/RTH?
A2.1:A2.1: Only the NMC/RTH manages the GTS traffic Only the NMC/RTH manages the GTS traffic according to the WMO Manual on the GTSaccording to the WMO Manual on the GTS
A2.2:A2.2: The NMC/RTH is the network coordinator for The NMC/RTH is the network coordinator for connection and access rights of the “other” NCsconnection and access rights of the “other” NCs
Q3: Who are the so-called “other” NCs in a country?
A3:A3: Examples are national or international data centres, Examples are national or international data centres, academia, research institutions, commercial service academia, research institutions, commercial service providers if permitted according to A2.2providers if permitted according to A2.2
Q4: What can a NC gain through the connection to (F)WIS?
A4:A4: Cost-effective, standardized access to a wealth of Cost-effective, standardized access to a wealth of national and international data archives and data national and international data archives and data bases of the GEOSS; in reverse, the international user bases of the GEOSS; in reverse, the international user community can obtain access to the data bases and community can obtain access to the data bases and archives of the NC in conformity with established archives of the NC in conformity with established data policiesdata policies
Q5: Is there a financial and administrative burden on the NMC/RTH?
A5.1:A5.1: Financial - That depends how the national network is Financial - That depends how the national network is organized;organized;
if the “other” NCs are directly connected to the if the “other” NCs are directly connected to the Network Service Provider: NO!Network Service Provider: NO!
if their data flow through the NMC/RTH: YES!if their data flow through the NMC/RTH: YES!
A5.2:A5.2: Administrative – NO! at least not more than in the Administrative – NO! at least not more than in the current GTS/RMDCN situationcurrent GTS/RMDCN situation
Frequently asked questionsFrequently asked questions
Q6: Will the (F)WIS in conformity with the WMO data policy (e.g., Res. 40 (Cg-XII) and Res. 25 (Cg-XIII), and is it flexible enough to permit an evolution of the WMO data policy?
A6.1:A6.1: Yes, the management and practices related to Yes, the management and practices related to essential and additional data and products and essential and additional data and products and related conditions will remain unchangedrelated conditions will remain unchanged
A6.2:A6.2: Procedures for the management of access rights, Procedures for the management of access rights, control of data retrieval, registration and control of data retrieval, registration and identification of users, etc. can be defined as and identification of users, etc. can be defined as and when requiredwhen required
A6.3:A6.3: Anonymous downloading is technically possible, but Anonymous downloading is technically possible, but depends on whether a NC permits that featuredepends on whether a NC permits that feature
Frequently asked questionsFrequently asked questions
Q7: Are there implications in connection with relevant international law, convention, such as copyright, patent, etc.?
A7:A7: (F)WIS has no inherent or system-specific features (F)WIS has no inherent or system-specific features that would violate international legal frameworks; the that would violate international legal frameworks; the control procedures are fully within the responsibility control procedures are fully within the responsibility of the NMCs/RTHsof the NMCs/RTHs
