10. 27 th CEOS Plenary Montréal, Canada 5-6 November, 2013 10 Positive Interaction with Disaster Study Group, WGCapD, WG Climate and WGCV Several Documents Released − GA.4. Disasters (GEOSS Architecture for the Use of Satellites for Disasters and Risk Assessment ) architecture document update − The Browse Guideline Document (http://www.ceos.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layou t=blog&id=137&Itemid=218) Is there any appropriate place to publish key Working Group results for all of CEOS? The new version of the CEOS Water Portal was released in May, 2013 (http://waterportal.ceos.org/) −Prototyping to evaluate interoperability with GCI (GEO Data Access Broker) is on-going and lessons learned will be summarized early next year. 2. Accomplishments (cont.) 2.3 Others For information Requesting Guidance

11. 27 th CEOS Plenary Montréal, Canada 5-6 November, 2013 11 IDN Dataset Maintenance −An automated report (email) indicating any problem of each dataset was set up (on periodic basis ). −The first report has been sent to the metadata author (included in each data set information) and CEOS WGISS agency contact on September 17, 2013. −WGISS would like to request each CEOS member agency, especially those without active WGISS participation, to have a look at the automated report and take required actions in a timely manner. 3. Current Challenges Requesting Guidance

12. 27 th CEOS Plenary Montréal, Canada 5-6 November, 2013 12 WGISS will work with SEO closely (e.g., historical data search to support SDCG for GFOI and GEOGLAM) WGISS will continue to support data access initiatives (incl. VC and GCI) −Using CEOS OpenSearch protocol, CWIC and FedEO will become accessible from external client (incl. GCI). −IDN will be used as dataset registration system for CEOS agencies. −Demonstration/Showcase based on the VC portal data access initiative (led by CNES) 4. Way Forward For information

18. 27 th CEOS Plenary Montréal, Canada 5-6 November, 2013 IDN Interest Group 1.CEOS IDN CEOS International Directory Network (http://idn.ceos.org) An international effort developed to assist users in locating data sets, data services, and visualizations. Provide free, online access to metadata on scientific data in the Earth sciences: geoscience, hydrospheric, biospheric, satellite remote sensing, and atmospheric sciences. Provide clients/portals directory-level search of CEOS agencies and others who have registered their collections in the IDN 2.IDN Services IDN CSW access : Procedures for accessing the IDN CSW Testing Server (http://idn.ceos.org/docs/CSWaccess.pdf) Connect to the IDN Metadata Web System (MWS) and Keyword Management System (KMS) RESTful Web Services (http://gcmd.nasa.gov/Connect) 3.IDN IG IDN IG is responsible for coordinating activities among the participating agencies to maintain, improve, and expand the functions and use of the CEOS IDN, which is the largest scientific directory service in the world. 18

20. 27 th CEOS Plenary Montréal, Canada 5-6 November, 2013 CWIC Project CWIC = CEOS WGISS Integrated Catalog Implemented to realize a federated catalogue for data discovery from multiple EO data centers The CWIC architecture consists of 3 main items: CWIC middleware - provides an access point for an inventory-level search at CEOS agencies who are CWIC data providers CWIC clients/portals - user interfaces to access cross-discipline data from CWIC data providers IDN – International Directory Network (IDN) provides clients/portals directory-level search of CEOS agencies who have registered their collections in the IDN 20

21. 27 th CEOS Plenary Montréal, Canada 5-6 November, 2013 What is HMA A collaborative project started in Europe and Canada by the Ground Segment Coordination Body (GSCB) in 2005 with the objective to: Guarantee a seamless and harmonised access to heterogeneous EO datasets from multiple mission ground segments, including national missions and ESA missions. Standardise the ground segment interfaces of the satellite missions for easier access to EO data. Provide interoperability for coordinated data access enabling the interactions with services or Value Adders and EO Contributing Missions.

22. 27 th CEOS Plenary Montréal, Canada 5-6 November, 2013 FedEO Current Set-up FedEO is a prototype system providing a brokered discovery (and access) capability to European (and Canadian) EO missions data based on HMA interfaces
