A Call for Participation (CFP) in the GEOSS Architecture Implementation Pilot, Phase 2 was announced by the GEO Secretariat on 30 June To date, 37 responses have been received.
The CFP remains open for the duration of AIP-2.
The KO was held in Boulder Colorado, USA, Sep Eighty five (85) persons attended the workshop over the two days.
The AIP-2 Development phase will be conducted in 9 wgs.
The 4 Community Working Groups will develop Scenarios that define the user objectives and the steps in the users decision process.
The 5 Transverse Technology Working Groups are developing Use Cases that define how GEOSS Interoperability Arrangements are used to support the steps in the user Scenarios.
AIP-2 plans to be completed in March 2009 with these results: 1) Demonstrations of the user scenarios; 2) Transition of select services to persistent operations, and 3) Select reports provided to the GEOSS Best Practices Registry.

6. 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"

7. GEO Task AR-07-02 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

8. AIP Phase 1 results in 2007
Demonstrated effective development process:
CFP, Kickoff, Execution, etc.
Approximately 120 organizations
Established organization communication methods
For international coordination
Produced Screencasts of Initial Operating Capability
Prepared “Architecture Implementation Report”
AI Pilot has broad international participation that could only have occurred with GEO.
High interest & momentum supporting GEOSS vision.

9. 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
