1. GEO Task IN-05 GEOSS Design and Interoperability Steve Browdy, IN-05 C1 Component Lead George Percivall, IN-05 Task Facilitator GEO IIB Prep Meeting January 2012

2. GEO Task IN-05 GEOSS Design and Interoperability Related GEOSS Strategic Targets Architecture: Deployment, population, and enablement of sustained operations and maintenance of a user-friendly and user-accessible GEOSS Common Infrastructure (GCI), including the core components and functions that link the various resources of GEOSS. Description Manage the evolutionary technical architecture (design) of GEOSS and contributed Earth observation data and service resources. Promote GEOSS interoperability principles. Enable a sustainable GEOSS of value to the user – supporting the development of the GEOSS Common Infrastructure (GCI) and GEOSS communication networks for the access to, and use of, Earth observations and related services.

3. GEO Task IN-05 GEOSS Design and Interoperability C1 GEOSS Design and Interoperability Status Based on existing status of AIP and SIF Details to follow Priority Actions Technical Design of GEOSS and Contributed Resources GEOSS Interoperability Analysis and Support GEOSS Research and Prototyping

4. GEO Task IN-05 GEOSS Design and Interoperability Transition Issues –Implementing task team telecons –Introducing more than one component to IN-05 –Establishing management guidelines for the task and components –Establishing reporting requirements with the IIB –Establishing working arrangements with IN-03 –Community outreach

5. GEOSS Task AR-09-01b Architecture Implementation Pilot AIP-4 Results, AIP-5 Planning Points of Contact: Nadine Alameh, George Percivall, Ingo Simonis Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) January 2011

6. Architecture Implementation Pilot, Phase 4 (AIP- 4) Accessibility to Critical Earth Observation Priority Data Sets Thesaurus for Earth Observation Parameters Software tools for publishing accessing and using data Tutorials to support data providers to get data online

7. AIP-4 Primary Results Accessibility to Critical Earth Observation Priority Data Sets Table constructed of candidate data sets Data sets registered in the GCI GEOSS Data-CORE supported Access services registered WMS, WFS, WCS, WPS, SOS, OPeNDAP Thesaurus for Earth Observation Parameters Served as SKOS at SPARQL endpoint Format either JSON or XML Made available at Geo Web Portal for data discovery

8. AIP-4 Primary Results Semantic-enabled Mediation Components EuroGEOSS Broker GENESI-DEC Search Service PML NETMAR Web Processing Services Components Population estimation service – CIESIN Ecological forecasting – EuroGEOSS – UncertWeb Spatio-temporal processing services – Graphitech Coverage Processing – Rasdaman and Vightel Solar radiation parameters extraction – Mines Paris Tech Satellite, in-situ and model data processing – PML Heterogeneous data for common grids – EuroGEOSS Access Broker General and specialized software tools for using data

9. Software Tools for publishing accessing and using data AIP-4 Primary Results Client Components for data exploitation

10. Areas of Coordination with the GCI Registration of the clients –Specification of supported ServiceTypes and DataTypes during Registration –Impacts on CSR and SIR (list of mime types, association between services and mime types) Capture of parameters for invoking clients from GWP Integration testing with GWP Categorization of Processing Services to increase reuse

11. AIP-4 Recommendations More exploitation clients and enabler components needed to fully achieve potential of GEOSS Continue to improve and evolve the GCI –Process for influencing features in the next release –Further automation of resource registration –More focus on resource monitoring Build on the success of AIP –Increase awareness of the value of contributing to GEOSS –Increase coordination with interdependent tasks –Continue development of tutorials –Distinguish between operational and development contributions

12. Publishing AIP-4 and STP results on Web http://www.ogcnetwork.net/pub/ogcnetwork/GEOSS/AIP4/index.html

13. Planning for AIP-5 Scenario Driven Development as in AIP-3 and AIP-2 Draft Schedule –Release CFP: February 2012 –Kickoff Workshop: May 2012 –Integration begins: September 2012 –Results for GEO Plenary in 2012 Routine Telecons on Tuesday

14. AIP-5 SBA Themes - Draft Disaster Management Health: AQ and Waterborne Water Resource Observations Agriculture (Biodiversity?)

17. GEOSS Task AR-09-01a Standards and Interoperability Forum (SIF) Results and Planning Points of Contact: David Arctur, OGC Steve Browdy, IEEE January 2011

18. SIF 2011 Primary Results GEOSS Interoperability Assessment –Many GCI recommendations were implemented during StP –Pilot survey with communities Sprint-to-Plenary tutorial activity –Used the BPW as the development platform and publishing platform –Formally worked in conjunction with AIP-4 –This is an ongoing effort 3 rd annual GEOSS Interoperability Workshop –Had many presentations by groups wanting to establish or improve their relationships with GEO/ GEOSS –Discussed ways to improve GEOSS interoperability and community engagement

19. Assistance for bringing more services online Led by SIF AIP-4 Tutorials –WFS: CREAF, enviroGRIDS, UAB –WCS: GMU, Jacobs University, CSISS, CREAF… –WMS: enviroGRIDS –SOS: EO2HEAVEN –WPS: Mines ParisTech –Quality of data visualization: GeoVIQUA –Resource registration: SIF, GMU WCS software available –EOX/Rasdaman –GMU Tutorials to support data providers to get data online

20. Tutorials on Best Practice Wiki Private area for development Made public when published Allows feedback from readers Links back to services, applications, and videos

21. SIF 2012 Plans Publish Interoperability Workshop report Extend work on GEOSS Interoperability Assessment –Community survey –Metric development –Interface with IN-03 Continue tutorial development –Improve BPW experience –Work in conjunction with AIP-5 under IN-05 Engage in follow-up discussions and plans with certain 2011 Interoperability workshop participants –GeoSUR (has begun) –WMO WIS –UNEP Live
