The team receive the URL and credentials from Alicia Hogue on July 23rd, 2019 and two different Proofproof-of-concepts were developed to publish data to EGIS Portal.

GeoEvent Server
The GeoEvent Server approach was defined as the way to go for publishing AIS data since it can handle live and historical data.
A .Net script is being used to pull and data from the AIS feed. The script runs every 5 minutes triggered by the task scheduled on the server (EGIS-PLT-EVT). The records are processed, splinted in two CSV files, based on the data source (Maerospace and Costal), and stored in the Azure SQL Service.
The GeoEvent consumes the two CSV files as input, massages the data generating the featured services as the output. The services are published on the portal.
EBIDA Integration
The Data Lake provided by the EBIDA team pulls data from the DND source, storing the data in raw format (CSV). The data is made available to EGIS team trough Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer, however to consume the data using the .Net script the Data Lake must have hierarchy call enabled. The EBIDA team is analyzing the impact of this change in the current Data Lake infrastructure.
Another challenge for the integration is to set a data layout that fits the EGIS needs. A prepossessing may be required. However, EBIDA project is on the proof-of-concept stage and the plans are to go live on the beginning of next fiscal year, April 1st. The final state aimed by both teams is to feed from the data lake and publish the feature layers on EGIS portal.
Current Services Available
Currently the AIS feed is publically publicly available on Sandbox in the following link: https://sbxweb.tcgis.ca/portal/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=9b657e410e654331b0bb084ee9567b50
