4. Helping the World to Communicate Geographically GeoWeb Portal Candidate Presentation Committed to Standards Our Vision of the GeoWeb Portal The Compusult WES GeoWeb Portal A suite of applications providing a real-time, web-based, geospatially enabled portal to provide centralized interoperability, discovery, collaboration, sharing, access and management over highly disparate information. How WES is Currently Used –Selected Organizations using Web Enterprise Suite WES GeoWeb Portal Architecture Overview WES supports the following standards: WES Platform Independence –WES X software components have been designed and implemented to operate across multiple platforms. Operating Systems currently supported: WES: The Total Geospatial Portal Solution GeoWeb Portlets included in WES –Discovery, Discovery agents, Viewer, Publisher, Administration, Colaboration, Other Benefits of a WES GeoWeb Portal Demonstration/presentation by Robert Thomas

5. INFORMATION GÉORÉFÉRENCÉE EN LIGNE LOCATION-BASED INFORMATION ONLINE Overview of biodiversity demonstrations Paula Rojas (Final presentation to be developed)

6. Demonstration overview 1st role - need for study - development in a region  initial problem scoping with focus on discovery of data sets, establish AOI and saving as context  Could start with news story report using geoRSS  Sends context document to analyst/researchers 2nd role: relation of development to caribou  accepting context document, adding additional data and layers to help evaluate problem statement.  something like how might caribou migrations be affected by changes in permafrost, roads, etc.  be sure to include polar projections 3rd role: butterfly biodiversity  Existing demo from INAA-CNR

7. See last weeks telecon for the full set of slides from Terry http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=23122 Response from subject matter expert to the scenario in this presentation: Good stuff. Is there a way to change the projection so that the North is not so distorted... changing projection will greatly help grab the northern audience... Cheers Dr Suzanne Carrière Ecosystem Management Biologist Environment and Natural Resources Government of the Northwest Territories

11. Helping the World to Communicate Geographically News Trigger for Discovery Receive RSS news report on potential oil discovery and pipeline plans for northern NWT via GEOSS GeoWeb Portal.

12. Helping the World to Communicate Geographically Define AOI and Geology Discovery Use Portal Viewer to Define AOI based on news report and perform geology discovery and send Context to Greg

13. Helping the World to Communicate Geographically Add Pipeline and Climate Data??? Use SEDAC Map Client to add pipeline and other Climate/Ecology data. View in Polar Projection if available Save context and return back to GEO WebPortal.

14. Helping the World to Communicate Geographically Geology and Fictional Gas Find

15. Helping the World to Communicate Geographically Fictional Find and Caribou Data

16. Helping the World to Communicate Geographically Add Caribou Migration and Snow Data Use Portal Viewer to perform Caribou data discovery and snow/ice data.

17. Helping the World to Communicate Geographically Add Additional Data Create several contexts that can be saved to the portal using additional data from other disparate sources that can provide analytical linkages to Biodiversity theme. Identify snow cover, surface temperature, and vegetation patterns relative to the migration of the caribou. Are there cause-effect patterns or pressures on the migration?

18. Helping the World to Communicate Geographically Show Google Earth Interoperability Show push button interoperability with discovery results being displayed in Google Earth as well as Geo WebPortal viewer.

19. Helping the World to Communicate Geographically Wiring Diagram of Services Used Diagram showing various services being pulled together from disparate sources. WMS Polar Clients WMS Caribou Tracks Canadian topo (layers) GeoConnections NRCan NSIDC Compusult WMS (layers) CIESIN IMAA-CNR DRAFT

20. Helping the World to Communicate Geographically Conclusions Draw possible conclusions from maps created and discovery performed. –1 i.e. how might caribou migrations be affected by changes in permafrost, roads, etc. –2 –3 –4

26. nativi@imaa.cnr.it Adopted solutions 1.Write a formal and expanded use scenario 2.Use GBIF portal web services to access and retrieve the biodiversity data 3.Access and retrieve NCAR Climate Change data via OGC WCS 4.Interoperability with GBIF and Climate registries using GI-go/GI-cat federated catalog and Mediation Server (mapping to the ISO 19115 core metadata) 5.Use the Open Modeller ENM framework through its SOAP functionalities 6.Put together an AJAX based demonstrator user interface

27. nativi@imaa.cnr.it 1. Write a formal and expanded use scenario Modeling the impact of climate change on the distribution of the butterflies of Canada and Alaska –Scientific name = amblyscirtes vialis –Species taxonomy: Animalia ->arthropoda ->insecta ->lepidoptera ->hesperiidae ->amblyscirtes ->amblyscirtes vialis

30. Helping the World to Communicate Geographically GEOSS Workshop, 19-20 August, GeoNorth June - Call for GWS participants June - Develop societal benefit area scenario June - Confirm Internet capabilities at workshop site June - Identify scenario specific data sources July - Components available on-line July - Client server testing Aug - Demo scenario testing and Client Capture Aug 19 - On-site testing Aug 20 - Workshop demos Aug - posting results to OGC Network

31. 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
