GEO Work Plan Symposium 2011

Infrastructure

May 5, 2011

Infrastructure

• Preamble text is needed for each of the three sections proposed in Work Plan V0.

• Infrastructure includes:

– GEOSS Common Infrastructure

– Earth Observing Systems

– Earth Data Sets

– GEOSS Communication Networks

– Standards and Interoperability

• Gap Analysis, Capacity Building, User Engagement to be addressed in each of the IN tasks

Presentation of each 2012-2015 Work Plan Task

• Target-based Definition, Deliverables and underpinning Leads and Priority Actions

• 2009-2011 sub-task re-organization• Related 2009-2011 Work Plan implementation

progress• Inclusion of new proposals• Estimation of resources available• Issues, gaps and possible measures

IN-01 GEOSS Common Infrastructure

• Definition: Text to be modified: Focus will be on the operations, maintenance, and enhancement of GEOSS Common Infrastructure. Split-out of GEOSS design/requirements/research into a new Task

• Deliverables: Text to specify contributions from multiple sources (e.g. DSTF), Gap analysis to be included.

• Related Tasks: Add Data Sharing task and Quality Assurance task, Move WIS to EO Systems (under IN-03)

IN-01, continued

• New Proposals: None• Resources Available: GCI Component Operators are

responsible for operations and enhancement through 2015; adding EuroGEOSS, GENESI-DEC. Upcoming GEO-WOW FP project funded through Sept 2014

• Issues and Gaps: Propose close relationship with GEOSS Design and Interoperability task (new task); Engagement with users, Communication with data providers

• Performance indicators: Provided earlier to M&E

IN-02 Earth Observing Systems

• Definition: re-ordered to reflect highest priority activities• Deliverables: Inserted User Interface language and

other editorial changes; Gap analysis to be included.• Related tasks: Include WIS, Add crowd-sourcing• New Proposals: Discussion indicated no discrepancies• Resources Available: Not discussed• Issues and Gaps: Increased advocacy for sustained

EO networks and increased coordination for in situ networks; alignment between deliverables and definition; coordination with Earth Data Sets

• Performance Indicators: No additions

IN-03 Earth Data Sets

• Definition: Additional words provided by UIC related to sustainability; ADC: common vocabulary, core metadata, and registration

• Deliverables: Clarify to encourage development of data sets rather than develop directly

• Related tasks: No changes.• New Proposals: Discussion indicated no

discrepancies• Resources Available: Not discussed.• Issues and Gaps: Coordination with EO Systems,

overlap with global data sets (DS/IS)• Performance Indicators: Not discussed

IN-04 GEOSS Communication Networks

• Definition: Editorial changes proposed• Deliverables: added focus on targeted users• Related tasks: WIS moved to EO Systems (IN-02)• New Proposals: Discussion indicated no

discrepancies• Resources Available: Not discussed.• Issues and Gaps: Data Democracy Task could move

to Institutions• Performance Indicators: Not discussed.

IN-05 Gap Analysis

• To be incorporated in all other IN Tasks

IN-06 GEOSS Design and Interoperability

• Addresses the evolutionary technical architecture (design) of GEOSS and contributed EO data and service resources.

• Primary focus on enabling a sustainable GEOSS• Success will be demonstrated by the research, evaluation,

deployment, population, and sustained operations of a user-friendly and accessible GEOSS and its Common Infrastructure, including the core components, functions, and data sufficient to readily respond to scientific and societal demands.

• Incorporates the annual Architecture and Implementation Pilot and Standards and Interoperability Forum (SIF).

IN-06 continued

• Deliverables:– A ‘living’ technical architecture document that

describes and illustrates the components of GEOSS

– Annual review or revision of the GEOSS Tactical and Strategic Guidance and new tutorial documents

– Annual execution and documentation of the Architecture Implementation Pilot and related research activities

– A register of Interoperability Agreements (Standards and Special Arrangements)

IN-06, continued

• Related tasks: – Enabling Deployment of GEOSS Architecture– Architecture and Implementation Pilot– Sensor Web Enablement for In-Situ Observing

Network Facilitation – Model Web Development– Data Integration and Analysis Systems – Standards and Interoperability Forum

IN-06, continued

• Resources Available: Not discussed.• Issues and Gaps: Interaction clarify, no overlaps with

GCI Task (IN-01)• Performance Indicators: Not discussed.
