1. CEOS WGISS & Subgroup Meeting Cordoba, March, 2005. 1 EO Data Portal Task Team Overview Wyn Cudlip BNSC/QinetiQ wcudlip@space.qinetiq.com Presentation to WGISS & Subgroup Meeting Cordoba, March, 2005

2. CEOS WGISS & Subgroup Meeting Cordoba, March, 2005. 2 History o Original idea to improve access to Landsat Global Mosaic data (1975, 1990, 2000) and to SRTM global 90m-resolution digital elevation data (DEM) o Sometimes referred to as CLASP n CEOS Landsat and SRTM Project o Plan to go beyond access to rgb data: use OGC WCS for access to the Landsat and SRTM data o Renamed To EO Data Portal Task Team to broaded scope and make idea more attractive to CEOS Plenary

3. CEOS WGISS & Subgroup Meeting Cordoba, March, 2005. 3 EO Data Portal Activities EODP TT CLASP Other initiatives e.g. Digital Asia WGCV Test Sites ICEDS Other datasets Onearth JPL/NASA EODP homepage Other initiatives Global datasets USGS Coverages GMU/LAITSVisualisation WorldWind AJAX/OGC

4. CEOS WGISS & Subgroup Meeting Cordoba, March, 2005. 4 EODP Homepage o Links to: o CLASP o OGC compliant servers page o Global datasets o USGS Coverages map o WGISS Menu ?

5. CEOS WGISS & Subgroup Meeting Cordoba, March, 2005. 5 OGC Compliant Servers Page o Expert users need more than simple visualisation client o EODP intends to provide comprehensive list of CEOS- member OGC-compliant servers o Provide links to n Service introductory webpage n Client for viewing data n Server address (for GetCapabilities) o http://wgiss.ceos.org/eodp

6. CEOS WGISS & Subgroup Meeting Cordoba, March, 2005. 6 Example EODP OGC-Server Page o BNSC o ICEDS (SRTM 90m, Landsat5 mosaic(1990) + links to other servers) o Info:http://iceds.ge.ucl.ac.uk/http://iceds.ge.ucl.ac.uk/ o Viewer: http://iceds.ge.ucl.ac.uk:8080/viewer/iceds/index.html http://iceds.ge.ucl.ac.uk:8080/viewer/iceds/index.html o Servers: o http://iceds.ge.ucl.ac.uk/cgi- bin/wms?map=wms.map&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST= GetCapabilities http://iceds.ge.ucl.ac.uk/cgi- bin/wms?map=wms.map&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST= GetCapabilities o http://iceds.ge.ucl.ac.uk/cgi- bin/wcs?map=wcs.map&SERVICE=WCS&REQUEST=G etCapabilities http://iceds.ge.ucl.ac.uk/cgi- bin/wcs?map=wcs.map&SERVICE=WCS&REQUEST=G etCapabilities

7. CEOS WGISS & Subgroup Meeting Cordoba, March, 2005. 7 The CLASP Concept o CEOS WGISS assist the UN and FAO in promoting the exploitation of the Landsat and SRTM data by: n Coordinating the deployment of data mirror sites hosted by various Space Agencies around the world. n Working with standards bodies (e.g. the OGC) to accelerate the development of relevant standards and software (particularly OGC WCS). n Encouraging the development of standards-based software tools and associated web-based services. o Phased development over two years, starting with simple map display capability, leading eventually to chained services that can be tailored for specific applications. o Subsequent long-term service sustained by the Space Agencies concerned. o 11 CEOS Agencies already shown an interest in being involved. Eodp mailing list set up. o Improved access to SRTM is a GEO 2-yr objective

8. CEOS WGISS & Subgroup Meeting Cordoba, March, 2005. 8 Related parallel activities o “Onearth” activity at JPL have made entire 2000 rgb mosaic available via OGC WMS n http://onearth.jpl.nasa.gov/ http://onearth.jpl.nasa.gov/ n Different band combinations also available o FAO deploying OGC compliant servers o EoGeo.org created “Landsat Interest Group” and are working with the Internet Archive who may be prepared to host entire dataset. o Liping Di (GMU) planning to host Landsat and SRTM data and make it available through both OGC and GRID interfaces

9. CEOS WGISS & Subgroup Meeting Cordoba, March, 2005. 9 Original Schedule o Planned for 2-year project o Some parts gone more quickly, some more slowly WGISS / Subgroups CEOS Plenary 20042005 Concept Presentation Progress Presentation Final Presentation Project Approval Initial WMS Deployment Initial SRTM availability WCS Terrain View Integrated availability

10. CEOS WGISS & Subgroup Meeting Cordoba, March, 2005. 10 Current Status o BNSC funding ICEDS Project o ICEDS year 1 completed n To explore the use of OGC Servers, WCS in particular n Developed demonstration client n Created Guidelines Document o ICEDS year2 n Further software development – Client: 3-D viewing, blinking etc n Use-case development o Begun Landsat data transfer from UNEP(USGS) n Landsat 2000 dataset - 3Tbyte. n Shipped 500Gbyte disc to USA and back – not very successful n Data to be made available on tape o SRTM available through Internet download o Related developments (GMU/LAITS; Worldwind)

11. CEOS WGISS & Subgroup Meeting Cordoba, March, 2005. 11 Future Plans o Continue with software development o Continue with data distribution o Interested Agencies to develop their own Portal n JAXA to add links to Digital Earth viewer o Work with parallel activities to establish coherent development plan. o Provide demonstration to CEOS Plenary 19 ?
