National Weather Service Goes Digital

I’ve been uncovering more information. The NWS does have plans for Web services. Check out this PDF I found, page 4:

  • Machine to machine queries to retrieve a “slice” of the database – specific locations and elements
  • XML based queries, results in XML
  • Uses W3C standard protocols and formats: UDDI, WSDL, SOAP, XML
  • Currently in planning
  • Experimental services available spring/summer

I wonder where these bad boys are hiding… check out all the other PDF files hiding in the same directory. Also check out National Digital Forecast Database.
