“The distribution of OGCWeb Catalogues (CSW) across professional communities, the expert profile of the catalogue user and also the low coverage of OGCWeb Services (OWS) in standard search engines reduce the possibility of discovery and sharing geographic information. This paper presents an approach to simple spatio-temporal search of OWS retrieved from the web by a specialized crawler. The Digital Earth could benefit from this solution as it overcomes technical boundaries and solves the limitation of CSW acceptance only within professional community.”
