GEOSS Architecture Implementation Pilot, Phase 2 (AIP-2) George Percivall, Open Geospatial Consortium GEO Task AR-09-01b Task POC 2 February 2009

GEOSS connects Observations to Decisions 2 2

Group on Earth Observations: GEO EO Summit: Ministers of countries; established GEO as an organization, endorsed GEOSS 10 year plan GEO Plenary: Members (national bodies and the EC) and Participating Organizations GEO Secretariat: Director and staff GEO Committees: Capacity Building (CBC), Architecture and Data (ADC), Science and Technology (STC), User Interface (UIC), and the C4 GEO Work Plan and Tasks

Operational Capability Operational Capability User Needs, Scenarios User Needs, Scenarios Design, Develop, Deploy Design, Develop, Deploy Architecture Implementation Pilot (AIP) Task AR-09-01b GEOSS Common Infrastructure (GCI) Task AR-09-01a support persistent implementation requirements SBA Tasks, UIC Elaboration of GEOSS Architecture

GEOSS Interoperability Arrangements - From the GEOSS 10 Year Plan Reference Document - Interoperability through open interfaces –Interoperability specifications agreed to among contributing systems –Access to data and information through service interfaces Open standards and intellectual property rights –GEOSS adopting standards; agreed upon by consensus, preference to formal international standards –GEOSS will not require commercial or proprietary standards –Multiple software implementations compliant with the open standards should exist –Goal is that at least one of the implementations should be available to all implementers "royalty-free"

Slide 6 GEO Task AR-09-01b Architecture Implementation Pilot Lead incorporation of contributed components consistent with the GEOSS Architecture… …using a GEO Web Portal and a GEOSS Clearinghouse search facility …to access services through GEOSS Interoperability Arrangements …in support of GEOSS Societal Benefit Areas

Slide 7 AI Pilot has broad international participation that could only have occurred with GEO. High interest & momentum to support GEOSS. AIP Phase 1 Results – Early 2008 Elements of the GEOSS Common Infrastructure (GCI) – Initial Operating Capability established Effective development process for GEO –CFP, Kickoff, Execution, etc. –Approximately 120 organizations participated –Methods for international coordination Prepared “Architecture Implementation Report” 10 Demonstrations of Initial Operating Capability10 Demonstrations

AIP Phase 2 Themes Augment the GEOSS Common Infrastructure Emphasize SBAs identified by UIC/ADC collaboration Develop "persistent exemplars” Elaborate GEOSS Architecture –Scenarios and Use Cases –Service and Component types –Interoperability Arrangements Slide 8

Scenarios and Use Cases Transverse Use Cases support Community Scenarios Scenarios: end user view of the value of GEOSS –Focused on topics of interest to a community –Occur in a geographic Area of Interest (AOI) –Steps in a scenario are Use Cases –Scenarios developed by Community WGs Use Cases: reusable service oriented architecture –Use cases for discovery, data access, etc –Utilize Interoperability Arrangements –Use Cases developed by Transverse Technology WGs

AIP-2 Community Scenarios Air Quality and Health: Wildfire & Smoke –Policy-maker, AQ compliance manager, and the public Climate Change and Biodiversity –Pika Distribution –Polar Ecosystems –Arctic Food Chain Disasters –Flood Analysis –Disaster Management Renewable Energy: Facility Planner –Site selection process for solar and wind energy
