6. Helping the World to Communicate Geographically GEOSS Demos Lessons Learned Application-specific demos are a great way to engage with user communities that would not necessarily look to OGC standards. Emphasize message about using distributed components with open standards vs. standalone application Tremendous enthusiasm and commitment of agencies and research groups to collaborate Demo provides a fast-track to skills development and knowledge transfer. Live demo is compelling but dependent upon communications networks that may not be reliable at workshops Live demo should be accompanied by a pre-recorded demo Presentation of the demo works best with two projectors: one for the client application, the other for a powerpoint presentation explanation Start early to get satellite data Desirable to involve participants from the local region Keep it simple, focus on the magic of interoperability GEOSS Demos are persistent using OGC Network –http://www.ogcnetwork.net/GEOSSdemos

Helping the World to Communicate Geographically OGC Demo at ISRSE GEOSS Workshop NASA Ames Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Ames conducing a UAS workshop at the beginning of the conference. –UAS workshop results are compatible with GEOSS workshop at the end of the week UAS Workshop –Predator-B UAV to fly over coffee fields in Costa Rica to support sustainable agriculture –Don Sullivan, Ames, installing servers and network to support UAS workshop –GEOSS demo to access UAV coffee data via WMS, WCS located at conference SPS?

11. Helping the World to Communicate Geographically OGC Demo at ISRSE GEOSS Workshop Client platforms and Applications Platform Independent –Web-based WMS viewer: under development at EDAC as a multi- server WMS data viewer Linux/OS X/Windows –uDig: open source desktop GIS application with support for OGC WxS services

12. Helping the World to Communicate Geographically GEOSS Societal Benefit area goal: 4.1.8 - Agriculture Supporting sustainable agriculture and combating desertification Issues addressed by GEOSS will include: –crop production; livestock, aquaculture and fishery statistics; food security and drought projections; nutrient balances; farming systems; land use and land-cover change; and changes in the extent and severity of land degradation and desertification. GEOSS implementation will address the continuity of critical data, such as high-resolution observation data from satellites. A truly global mapping and information service, integrating spatially explicit socio-economic data with agricultural, forest, and aquaculture data will be feasible, with applications in poverty and food monitoring, international planning, and sustainable development.
