The Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) provides a Service Status Checker (SSC) web service to validate, test and score spatial web services. It returns a set of summary and test diagnostic information about the tests performed on each service.
The web service can and will perform health tests on spatial services that provide access to geospatial metadata and data. The service types include:

How Do I Get Started
The SSC web service can operate in 2 different modes - real time or Archive mode. Each mode is described below:
- Real Time Testing Mode: Requests can be made to the SSC web service and it will perform real time tests on each service and immediately return the results.
- Archive Testing Mode: Catalogs can provide their service lists to the SSC system and have it perform daily batch testing of all services. These results are saved in a database for quick retrieval and usage. Note: The U.S. Geospatial One-Stop (GOS) portal currently implements this method for providing a score for its search results.
