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 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,

4. Global Datasets Interest Group
Coordinate WGISS contributions to core global datasets
Request WGISS participation and create 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

5. 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

6. 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

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

8. 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
