DESCRIPTION:ETF is an open source testing framework for validating data and
  APIs in Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs). It is used by software solut
 ions and data providers to validate the conformity of geospatial data sets
 \, metadata and APIs.\n\nFor example\, ETF is the underlying framework use
 d by the INSPIRE Reference Validator to validate INSPIRE metadata\, datase
 ts and services against the requirements of the INSPIRE Technical Guidelin
 es. ETF is also used extensively in Germany by the Surveying Authorities o
 f the Laender to validate their datasets. This includes Real Estate Cadast
 ral data\, Topographic data\, Control Points\, 3D Building Models\, House 
 Coordinates and Building Polygons. In the test environments of the German 
 Laender\, a comprehensive series of attributive\, relational\, geometric\,
  and topological tests are performed on the data\, in addition to interact
 ing with APIs and checking for errors in the interface contracts. Other Eu
 ropean Union (EU) Member States are also reusing ETF to allow their data p
 roviders to test resources against national requirements. Finally\, some s
 oftware tools such as GeoNetwork open source include validation based on t
 he ETF API in their workflow.\n\nGoals in designing the ETF software were 
 to create test reports that are user-friendly and self-explanatory as well
  as to be able to validate large amounts of data\, which can be several hu
 ndred GB in size. In order to cover different validation tasks and present
  them in a unified report\, the architecture is modular and different Test
  Engines can be used. Currently the following Test Engines are supported: 
 SoapUI for testing web services\, BaseX database for testing XML data\, Te
 am Engine to validate WFS and OGC Web APIs using the OGC CITE tests\, NeoT
 L Engine for testing WFS\, OGC Web APIs and datasets. \n\nAs a horizontal 
 and reusable tool\, which could be extended to satisfy the needs of differ
 ent communities and domains\, ETF is currently considered as a component o
 f the so-called Common Services Platform under the new Digital Europe Prog
 ramme of the European Commission. Within this context\, activities are pla
 nned in 2022 to: i) include the ETF in the OSGeo Live v.15\, and ii) submi
 t the ETF as an OSGeo Community Project.\n\nIn this talk\, we will introdu
 ce the ETF testing framework\, the deployment scenarios and address the cu
 rrent and future technical developments.
