GEO Task IN-05GEOSS Design and InteroperabilityRelated GEOSS Strategic Targets•Architecture: Deployment, population, and enablement of sustained operations and maintenance of a user-friendly and user-accessible GEOSS Common Infrastructure (GCI), including the core components and functions that link the various resources of GEOSS.

Description•Manage the evolutionary technical architecture (design) of GEOSS and contributed Earth observation data and service resources. •Promote GEOSS interoperability principles. •Enable a sustainable GEOSS of value to the user – supporting the development of the GEOSS Common Infrastructure (GCI) and GEOSS communication networks for the access to, and use of, Earth observations and related services.

GEO Task IN-05GEOSS Design and Interoperability

C1 GEOSS Design and Interoperability

Status•Based on existing status of AIP and SIF•Details to follow

Priority Actions•Technical Design of GEOSS and Contributed Resources•GEOSS Interoperability Analysis and Support•GEOSS Research and Prototyping

GEO Task IN-05GEOSS Design and Interoperability

• Transition Issues– Implementing task team telecons– Introducing more than one component to IN-05– Establishing management guidelines for the task

and components– Establishing reporting requirements with the IIB– Establishing working arrangements with IN-03– Community outreach

AIP-4 Primary ResultsClient Components for data exploitation

Areas of Coordination with the GCI

• Registration of the clients– Specification of supported ServiceTypes and

DataTypes during Registration– Impacts on CSR and SIR (list of mime types,

association between services and mime types)• Capture of parameters for invoking clients from GWP• Integration testing with GWP• Categorization of Processing Services to increase

reuse

AIP-4 Recommendations

• More exploitation clients and enabler components needed to fully achieve potential of GEOSS

• Continue to improve and evolve the GCI– Process for influencing features in the next release– Further automation of resource registration– More focus on resource monitoring

• Build on the success of AIP– Increase awareness of the value of contributing to GEOSS– Increase coordination with interdependent tasks– Continue development of tutorials– Distinguish between operational and development

contributions

Planning for AIP-5

• Scenario Driven Development as in AIP-3 and AIP-2

• Draft Schedule– Release CFP: February 2012– Kickoff Workshop: May 2012– Integration begins: September 2012– Results for GEO Plenary in 2012

• Routine Telecons on Tuesday

AIP-5 SBA Themes - Draft

• Disaster Management • Health: AQ and Waterborne • Water Resource Observations• Agriculture• (Biodiversity?)

AIP-5 Tech Themes - Draft

• User management and access services• Data access metrics• Data licensing support• Mobile clients• Coordinate Reference System IDs• Quality Assurance, Uncertainty, Provenance • (Ontology registry/Semantics?)• OpenSearch GEO • Capacity building repository• Continued tutorial development led by SIF

SIF 2011 Primary Results

• GEOSS Interoperability Assessment– Many GCI recommendations were implemented during StP– Pilot survey with communities

• Sprint-to-Plenary tutorial activity– Used the BPW as the development platform and publishing

platform– Formally worked in conjunction with AIP-4– This is an ongoing effort

• 3rd annual GEOSS Interoperability Workshop– Had many presentations by groups wanting to establish or

improve their relationships with GEO/ GEOSS– Discussed ways to improve GEOSS interoperability and

community engagement

Assistance for bringing more services online

• Led by SIF • AIP-4 Tutorials

– WFS: CREAF, enviroGRIDS, UAB– WCS: GMU, Jacobs University, CSISS, CREAF…– WMS: enviroGRIDS– SOS: EO2HEAVEN– WPS: Mines ParisTech– ‘Quality of data’ visualization: GeoVIQUA– Resource registration: SIF, GMU

• WCS software available– EOX/Rasdaman– GMU
