WGISS26 Boulder, CO, USA Sep. 25, 2008 2 Current Structure Project & Applications Subgroup Chair: Karen Moe/NASA Vice Chair: Satoko Miura/JAXA Interest Groups (IG) and Projects WTF-CEOP Project - Satoko Miura (closing) Global Datasets IG - Lorant Czaran Land Surface Imaging Constellation IG- Lyn Oleson LSI Constellation Portal Project - Lyn Oleson New Atmospheric Composition Constellation IG Precipitation Constellation Liaison WGISS26 Boulder, CO, USA Sep. 25, 2008 2

WGISS26 Boulder, CO, USA Sep. 25, 2008 3 WTF-CEOP WTF-CEOP project completed successfully Software from NASA prototype available as open source Potential for outcomes of WTF-CEOP to contribute to DA-07-01 as WGISS supporting role 2 lessons learned documents input to GEOSS AIP (AR-07-02) 4 lessons learned documents to be posted on WGISS web site JAXA prototype lessons learned Data provenance lessons learned (NASA prototype) 2 documents on OGC WCS & CS/W standards maturity and interoperability issues (NASA prototype) WGISS26 Boulder, CO, USA Sep. 25, 2008 3

Global Datasets Interest Group Coordinate WGISS contributions to core global datasets Request WGISS participation and create email distribution list Work with GEO task leads to refine DEM interoperability requirements and scope of WGISS contribution Present status of DEM Interoperability requirements and recommend actions at WGISS 27 WGISS26 Boulder, CO, USA Sep. 25, 2008 4

Atmos Composition Constellation Recommend ACC Interest Group to be formed Suggest WGISS Lead be Stefan Falke Suggested WGISS ACC IG activities Participate in ACC Workshop sponsored by SEO at GISS in Oct 15-17, 2008 (CAT 1, CL-06-02_13) Collaborate with ACC members to Draft recommendations for a ‘value-added’ ACC portal Evaluate extension of AIP Air Quality prototype for a Smoke Monitoring Sensor Web proposal (CAT 2 WGISS supporting role to HE-06-03_2) Present status at WGISS 27 WGISS26 Boulder, CO, USA Sep. 25, 2008 5

Precipitation Constellation WGISS and PC want to better understand the scope of each group’s respective contributions to CEOS and GEOSS Recommend WGISS collaboration with PC’s GPM Data Working Group (GDaWG) Suggest action item for WGISS to work with Erich Stocker/NASA and Satoko Miura/JAXA to identify liaison candidates and report at WGISS 27 PC contributions of data to sensor webs under consideration WGISS26 Boulder, CO, USA Sep. 25, 2008 6

WGISS26 Boulder, CO, USA Sep. 25, 2008 7 WGISS Lessons Learned WGISS25-6 Recommendations on capturing lessons learned/best practices: When a project is presented at WGISS, always include a WGISS Lessons Learned assessment Project, POC, date, [project/SIG] Keywords Lessons learned list Links to relevant files or web sites WGISS web site update would include a page for searching on WGISS Lessons Learned. Purpose is to complement the WGISS Handbook Target audience? WGISS members CEOS, GEOSS WGISS26 Boulder, CO, USA Sep. 25, 2008 7

Project & Applications New project proposals should provide consideration for sustaining successful prototypes beyond demonstration Clarify the purpose and expected outcome (lessons learned only, or potential GEOSS component) If a sustainable component, what resources are needed Recommend WGISS project documents reflect this need Project proposal template Project closeout template WGISS26 Boulder, CO, USA Sep. 25, 2008 8
