Ensure Proper Access to Data:Free and Open, Easy to Use

and Coordinated

© GEO Secretariat

• Data and Products at Minimum Time delay and Minimum Cost

• Free of Charge or minimal Cost for Research and Education

GEO Data Sharing Principles

• Full and Open Exchange of Data, recognizing Relevant International Instruments and National Policies

© GEO Secretariat

Led to Free and Open Access to the LANDSAT Archive (USGS - USA)

© GEO Secretariat

Registries, Clearinghouse and Portal

Contributors register observation systems, data sets and services

Users discover

and exploit resources

Represents a COLOSSAL

investment by GEO Members &

PO in EO systems

Delivers major societal benefits to USERS, such as policy makers

& citizens

Enables GEOSS resources to be

readily discovered and accessed

Appropriate interoperability
