Standards & interoperability

Kenya NFMS-FIP shows a tick only where conformance has been tested and documented. Everything else is stated as it is.

✓ TestedImplemented, not yet conformance-testedDesigned forPlanned

AreaStandard / frameworkStatusEvidence
Web APIsOpenAPI 3.1✓ TestedGenerated by FastAPI at /api/openapi.json; exercised by the API test suite.
AuthenticationOAuth 2.0 / OpenID ConnectImplemented, not yet conformance-testedKeycloak realm with RS256 JWT validation in the API. Not yet independently tested.
Access controlRBAC + ABAC✓ TestedRole ladder and county scope unit-tested; workflow guards enforced in the database and tested.
Data provenanceW3C PROV-aligned lineageImplemented, not yet conformance-testedProduct → algorithm version → processing job → validation chain; exposed by the Why? panel.
Audit trailAppend-only audit log✓ TestedUPDATE/DELETE on audit.log blocked; verified on PostgreSQL 16.
Coordinate referenceEPSG:4326 storage, EPSG:21037 / 32737 analysisImplemented, not yet conformance-testedGeometries stored in WGS 84; areas via geography; zonal statistics require a projected CRS.
Web GIS APIsOGC API – Features & TilesImplemented, not yet conformance-testedPublic tile views served by tipg. Conformance classes not yet run through OGC TEAM Engine.
EO catalogueSTAC 1.1 / STAC API 1.0Implemented, not yet conformance-testedpgSTAC + stac-fastapi; pipeline publishes items. STAC validator not yet run in CI.
Map servicesOGC WMS / WMTS (GeoServer)Designed forGeoServer in the compose stack; layer publication scripted but not validated.
MetadataISO 19115 / 19139 (GeoNetwork)PlannedCatalogue fields map to ISO 19115 core; GeoNetwork harvest not yet built.
Data exchangeGeoJSON, GeoPackage, COGImplemented, not yet conformance-testedGeoJSON from the API; COG required for raster products in object storage.
National forest monitoringFAO VGNFMDesigned forArchitecture follows the guidelines; requires institutional assessment, not a software test.
Forest carbon / MRVGFOI MGD, IPCC 2006/2019Designed forConfigurable methodologies, IPCC pools and uncertainty fields. No official KFS method loaded yet.
Climate reportingUNFCCC / REDD+PlannedReporting products follow once the carbon engine is approved.
AccessibilityWCAG 2.2 AA (target)Designed forSemantic markup, keyboard focus and contrast tokens; no audit performed yet.
SecurityISO/IEC 27001-aligned controlsPlannedPenetration testing and hardening scheduled for Phase 17.

Status as of platform v0.8.0. An automated conformance test (spec §96) will generate this page from test results.
