Open Geo-Social API
Empowers People to Quickly Discover, Share and
Mimic to Turn [Earth Science Data] Products Into
[Societal] Actionable Information.

SUMMARY SLIDE – OPEN GEO-SOCIAL API
Generate User Products That Can Be Used As Actionable
Information
Tag your Products To Make Stories and Push Stories to
Social Networks To Enable Discovery
Use An Ubiquitous Product Distribution Format for the Net.
Think Mobile Platforms
Provide A Higher Level Hypermedia API To Shield Users
From Infrastructure Details. You Want To Make It Easy to
Generate, Access, Download Products
6
WHY YET ANOTHER API?
A New Mandate
Enable Civil Earth Observations Capabilities For The Benefit Of Society
Provide Information for Societal Benefit
Deliver Information in A Timely Manner to End-Users and Decision Makers
Ensure That Users Can Both Find and Visualize the Data

PROBLEM STATEMENT
Current OGC Standards Are Too Level (Although Necessary) and Focused on Web Services (Not Actionable Products Relevant To Our End Users). Considerable Software Skills Are Required.
Security Is Too Difficult. We Need Low Level Security For Audit/Logging. Email Addresses are usually Sufficient. Additional Privileges Can Be Associated to Email Address.
Our Data Formats are too hard for end-users (HDF, NetCDF, GRIB, GEOTIFF, Shapefiles...)
We Need To Focus On Disadvantaged Users (Low Bandwidth, No Tools, No Skills, No Money) to Achieve Significant Societal Benefits
