| No Comments

Southampton, UK, February 22, 2006: Snowflake Software takes pleasure in announcing that its GO Publisher product has recently been officially awarded confirmation that it is compliant with the OpenGISŪ Web Feature Service Implementation Specification Version 1.0.

Snowflake Software's GO Publisher WFS product has passed all compliance testing with the Open Geospatial Consortium. This makes Snowflake Software one of just 7 companies in the world able to claim that it meets the stringent compliance testing for the OpenGIS Web Feature Service Implementation Specification, Version 1.0.

GO Publisher v 1.2 is the first release of the GO Publisher product suite to include the WFS features and was only released in January this year. "To achieve the accolade within the first months of the product's lifespan is especially rewarding," explained Eddie Curtis , CTO of Snowflake Software. "The certificate itself is further proof of Snowflake's continued commitment to Open Standards and our support for interoperability initiatives on both a national and international level."

GO Publisher WFS is a Translating Web Feature Server that provides real time on-demand access to your data via the web through internationally recognised ISO and OGC standards. Utilizing the same advanced graphical configuration interface as GO Publisher Desktop, GO Publisher WFS provides an easy migration path to enterprise web publishing by reusing all setup and configuration options available in the desktop version.

As a Translating Web Feature Server, GO Publisher WFS plays an integral part in the proposed infrastructure for Country-wide, European and International legislations demanding the availability and sharing of data across government bodies and organisations. The SDI infrastructure is a prime concern in allowing organisations to better address social, economic, and environmental issues of critical importance.
