o CB-09-05e: Infrastructure Development and Technology Transfer for Information Access -Data Democracy, led by CEOS
o Part of GEO Ministerial CBC Showcase
Data Management
o USGS Perspectives on the CEOS Data Democracy Initiative
o Which technology should we apply such that o the utility of common storageo hosting facilities, and o super computing facilities can be possible

Products are available out there but hard to find !
Data Democracy Portal
o Need one place where users can easily access to those products given by CEOS community
o Put all accumulated products in one placeo By using a search engine which can initially extract
product’ s keywords, thus, users could find data/ documents/ software that they really look for
o No actual images contain in a server but the linkage which guides users to the actual product location
o CEOS members could update the list of products at anytime when they have a new product comes to the program
o Troika closely works with SEO
Portal Structure

providers o use as inputs for search engineo Standard but simple
o Search Engineo The more keywords provided, the better results
