2. GEO Task AR-09-01b Architecture Implementation Pilot
Develop and pilot new process and infrastructure components for the GCI and the broader GEOSS architecture
Continuation of existing efforts, e.g., IP3, and new activities solicited through Calls for Participation (CFPs)
“fostering interoperability arrangements and common practices for GEOSS”
Consistent with that, Task AR 09-01b is defined as: highlighting the development and testing of contributed components in a pilot setting, the leveraging of the GEOSS Common Infrastructure portals and clearinghouses, doing that via interoperability arrangements and serving the SBAs.

3. AIP-2 Flood Tasking and Product Generation
Relief aid released in days, Before on-site assessment.

Disaster Management Information System (DMIS)
Workflows
Estimated rainfall accumulation and flood prediction model
Flood Model
Selected workflow automatically activates needed assets and models
Baseline water level, flood waters and predicted flooding
Coordination with GEO Tasks:
DI-09-02B: Multi-Risk Management
DI-06-09: Use of Satellites for Risk Management
02B through the international Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS). Satellite data coordination for flooding and coastal hazards is managed by the CEOS Strategic Implementation Team (SIT) subgroup for disaster management. The CEOS Working Group on Information Systems and Services (WGISS) supports advanced inter-operability demonstrations in this setting through their Flood Sensor Web activity. The CEOS Working Group on Calibration and Validation (WGCV) supports intercomparison campaigns as part of the Quality Assurance for Earth Observations (QA4EO) program.

4. GEOSS Interoperability Arrangements in Disaster Management Response
Earthquake in Chile
ERDAS Apollo from AIP-2
Earthquake in Haiti
Response to AIP-3 CFP University of Heidelberg
Crisis response has shifted from "getting any relevant data" to ”selecting and combining data that best aids the response”

6. Science Aspects and Informatics Aspects
Need geo-science to produce results really useful to end users (as being carried out in SBA tasks) Need geo-informatics to make useful information widely available on the web

7. 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"

8. Reusable Process for Deploying Scenarios
Engineering Use Cases support SBA 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
Use Cases: reusable service oriented architecture
Use cases for discovery, data access, etc
Utilize Interoperability Arrangements

9. Scenarios in AIP-3 Disaster Management: Remote and in-situ sensors
Biodiversity: Ecosystem Evolution and Arctic SDI
Health: Air Quality and Infectious Diseases
Water: Quality and Agricultural Drought
Energy: Environmental impacts
