History of CITE
CITE-1, the first in the series, developed a planning and feasibility study that helped to refine the existing Compliance Testing Program. CITE-1 developed a scriptable compliance testing engine and tests for WMS 1.1.1 and WFS 1.0.0, as well as a validation capability for GML 2.1.2. The CITE-1 initiative also developed reference implementations for WMS and WFS and this important portal resource.
OWS-2 developed a compliance test suite and reference implementation for WCS 1.0.0.
OWS-4 integrated a new open source engine that can be run from the command line or web interface, developed a new Compliance Test Language (CTL), migrated the existing WFS 1.0 and WMS 1.1.1 test suites to the new engine, and developed new test suites for CSW 2.0.1, WFS 1.1, WMS 1.3. In addition, the new engine will validate Web Map Context (WMC 1.1.0) instance documents. A GeoRSS feed validator was also created during this timeframe.
