OGC Publish/Subscribe Interface Standard 1.0 - SOAP Protocol Binding Extension

Publish/Subscribe 1.0 is an interface specification that supports the core components and concepts of the Publish/Subscribe message exchange pattern with OGC Web Services. The Publish/Subscribe pattern complements the Request/Reply pattern historically specified by many OGC Web Services. This specification may be used either in concert with, or independently of, existing OGC Web Services to publish data of interest to subscribers. Publish/Subscribe 1.0 primarily addresses subscription management capabilities such as creating a subscription, renewing a subscription, and unsubscribing. However, this standard also allows Publish/Subscribe services to advertise and describe the supported message delivery protocols such as SOAP messaging, ATOM, and AMQP. Message delivery protocols should be considered to be independent of the Publish/Subscribe 1.0 standard. Therefore OGC Publish/Subscribe only includes metadata relating to message delivery protocols in sufficient detail to allow for different implementations of Publish/Subscribe 1.0 to interoperate. This specification defines an extension to the OGC Publish/Subscribe (PubSub) 1.0 Core to allow for Publish/Subscribe communications using the SOAP protocol.
