9. Expected milestones 2008 Progressing in CB gap identification for all SBA’s (using existing data + complemented 2008) –e.g. Joannes Berque (UNESCO-IOC), EO oceans… CB Best Practices Register <- provider- based –Ref. Jay Pearlman (ADC, IEEE…) CB Needs inventory <- end user-based GEO CB Services activated through GEO Portal, GEONETCast system,…

10. Working methods GEO CB on-line survey v.2008 –End-user / value adding Comp, academic institutions, int’l orgs., –Government Agencies, int’l agencies, GEO part.orgs, etc.. Or other data gathering methods: wiki,..? (for discussion) Coordinating meetings (calls) with other CB task leads & main contributors Reporting Organize CB (“do”) workshops (side events) at int’l prof. events (e.g. AARSE Oct, 2008, Accra, Ghana, EUMETSAT User Conf,…) on use of GEOnetcast (data access, sharing) – Open Source (freeware); = gaps & need evaluation in practice in regions

11. Role's of task contributors Role definitions of contributors? (see list) Example of contribution to task: –client, respondent identification in regions, survey partner, –Science a/o CB expert in a SBA… –contributors in world regions (5) e.g. SAM, NAM, EUR, AFR, ASIA, PAC,? –Reporting to GEO community (writing group) –Other tbd Co-organizer CB “hands-on” workshops…

12. Coordination with other tasks CB 07-01b has “Feeder role” to GEO Portal & Geonetcast CB Services and BP Registry Close coordination requested with: –GEO Portal – CB Services entries AR-07-02 –Open Source CB task CB-07-01e –GEONETCast Education channel CB-06-04 –GEO Best Practices Registry DA-06-07 –Resource Mobilization, donors CB-07-01a –CB activities in SBA themes CB for Water Resources Mgt. e.g. WA-06-07,.. CB for Disaster Mgt. & Knowledge Network CB-07-02 Others, NWP cap. building, ADC (SDI aspects),..

13. Expected products - dates On-line Gaps & needs survey (results) Survey Analysis report Support BP Registry initiation (DA-06-07 objective) Support GEO Portal CB Service Provider Regional CB workshops (+gaps & needs surveying)..

14. Other ITC GEO CB in pipeline CB Training Workshop(s): AARSE 2008, pre/post event: Hands-on GEONETCast global data system using Open Source ware. O ther locations tbd. 52North/ILWIS Open Source system development, ITC’s free software environment for Geonetcast data reception and application development, visualization –E.g. used in EU FP7 DEVCOCast, EU FP7 CEOP- AEGIS projects, etc. E-learning module (ITC), under design & development: GEONETCast for Water Security & Governance (and other SBA areas…);

15. EU FP7 – GEOSS - CB Current (ITC) involvement in: Science packages, Capacity Building (training materials & delivery) and Dissemination packages of medium large IP’s: –DEVCOCAST (JRC, VITO, ITC) -> focus AFRICA, SOUTH AMERICA –CEOP-AEGIS (China, India, France, NL, Spain,...) -> focus Tibetan Plateau – ASIA Excellent mechanism for linking scientific EO & SDI research to CB and dissemination (end- users)..

16. CBC & GEO support CBC support: coordination with other tasks GEO secretariat: across GEO committee boundaries, liaisons, information, network support -> Presentations on –CB – Oceans: Joannes Berque – CB Best Practices Wiki: Jay Pearlman -> Discussion, questions,…
