1. Task IN-03 GEO Work Plan Symposium 2014 GEOSS Common Infrastructure IN-03

2. Task IN-03 Key 2014 Outputs Major enhancements to the GEOSS Portal website and the underlying infrastructure were deployed in January for Plenary based on extensive user input. User assessment of the current operations is underway. Another development sequence is anticipated for release before Plenary in November 2014 Revised architecture to include integration of the Discovery and Access Broker (GEO DAB), propose Yellow Pages function, and deprecation of Clearinghouse

3. Task IN-03 Service Monitoring of GCI Component interface availability continues via Web API by MONITIS (commercial account). Alerts sent to operators and registrants when a GCI service is down, results are graphed. Service Status Checker (USGS) is planned to be integrated with the new Portal, DAB, and Clearinghouse to display and link quality of service monitoring for registered services from GEO M&POs, including OGC WMS, WFS, WCS, CSW, OPeNDAP, and Esri REST. Key 2014 Outputs, continued

4. Task IN-03 Cross-Task Activities Significant overlap in the roles, participation, and outcomes between IN-03-C1, IN-03-C2, and IN-05-C1. Recommend consolidation of these three activities into a single Task component for efficiency

5. Task IN-03 Evidence of the Use of Task-related Systems, Datasets, Information Products, and Services WMO Weather Information System (WIS) being integrated to publish met data to GEOSS and enable discovery of GEOSS data in WIS Large EO Inventory/Catalogs being configured to enable direct download of individual files/images (ESA HMA, CEOS CWIC)

6. Task IN-03 Intervention needed from GEO Members and POs to Achieve 2015 Strategic Targets Task member commitment of EO assets to GEOSS by: – creating metadata and – publishing in national, community, or international catalogs (like CEOS IDN) with links to the asset. Commit resources using GEOSS Data-CORE tags to assert open access, wherever possible

7. Task IN-03 GEOSS and Registration The ‘pledge’ of data or services to GEO requires the act of registration Registration collects basic information about the resource and its context (e.g. related SBAs, availability, extent) called “metadata” Data or system owners can register metadata with GEOSS: – If you have never described your dataset or service with metadata, use the form at geossregistries.info – If you have a catalog of metadata that is not registered with data.gov, register the catalog with geossregistries.info 7 US GEO Workshop April 1-2, 2014 Reston, VA

8. Task IN-03 You may be registered already You don’t need to do anything if: – You have created metadata for your dataset or service in an agency, national, or professional catalog and it is already registered with GEOSS – The data or service resource is already described with a current DIF or SERF in the NASA GCMD/IDN – Be sure to include any search tags (i.e. geossdatacore, EO Vocabulary) in your metadata, however 8
