GEO Level Status : Summary

Because…• WTF-CEOP TT does not have enough resources to take

“positive actions” for participating GEO Tasks.• WTF-CEOP TT will close in the next year (see the next

slide).7

GEO Task No. Title WTF-CEOP TT recommendation

WA-06-05 In-situ Water Cycle Monitoring To wait for the authorization of “WA-08-P1” Task and its task sheet WA-07-01 Global Water Quality Monitoring

DA-06-04Task Number Title DA-06-04 Area Data Management Relevant Committee ADC

Facilitate the development, availability and harmonization of data, metadata, and products commonly required across diverse societal benefit areas, including base maps, land-cover data sets, and common socio-economic data.

Description of the Work to be Performed

Engage discipline and sectoral experts in the identifica tion and promotion of data content, data formats, and schemas required for decision support and analysis in the Societal Benefit Areas. Develop and register metadata for identified data sets, specifications, services, schemas, and related best practices in the GEOSS registries. Output & Deliverables

Inventory of data, data content specifications , schemas, and product definitions commonly required and available across diverse societal benefit areas will be registered with GEOSS.

DA-06-04C ur r en t S tat us

Participants in this task a r e also contributing to other r e lated Data and A r chitectur e Tasks that help fulfill the

require m ents of this Tas k . I n particula r , th e AR - 0 6 - 05 Tas k seeks to establish prototypes of a GE O S S

Clearinghouse to enable discov e ry an d a c cess to distributed GEOS S dat a and s ervices . M e mbers fr o m this

task will b e encou r aged to contribute dat a catalogues a nd services tha t ca n be use d to support Soc i etal

Benefit A rea s . Th e registration o f such basi c dat a , r epr e sented through its meta d ata i n m e mbe r c atalogues,

will a c complish the g o als of this Task.

Th e revised outc o m e of this task is to coordinate an in v entory with the outco m e o f task A R - 06 - 05 (GE O

Clearinghouse) and D A - 0 6 - 07 (W eb Portal , R egistries , and Clearinghouse ) . This will be facili tated through

the rec om mendation of a minim u m set o f standar d inte r face s and meta d ata content/exc h ange standard s

described abov e .

•Task POC (Doug Niebert, USGS) has lobbied to merge this task with one of the architecture tasks; that proposal was not accepted. •Instead, this task was revised as above.

DA-06-04

• Focus is now awaiting the outcomes of task AR-06-05 (GEO Clearinghouse) and DA-06-07 (Web Portal , Registries, and Clearinghouse)

• From Doug - “I changed the intent of the item to direct efforts towards nominating standards and services into the GEOSS Standards and Services Registries, respectively. This would include metadata, data, protocol, and service type standards.”

Bottom Line…

• WGISS participation evident in the AR-06-05 and DA-06-07 tasks

• Need will be for a WGISS POC who is familiar with methodologies around searching multiple inventories.

Data Management Task DA-06-01

Furthering the Practical Application of the Agreed GEOSS Data Sharing Principles

• CODATA is lead organization• Data Sharing statement proposed for the GEO Ministerial Declaration

at the Summit in November in Cape Town: ” We therefore support the establishment of a negotiating mechanism that would finalise the implementation of the Data Sharing Principles for GEOSS within two years”

• Draft of “White paper and implementation guidelines for the GEOSS data sharing principles” completed July 2007

• Sent out for review to the GEO ADC August 2007• Comments being received and compiled; will be incorporated into

white paper in time for GEO Plenary in Cape Town• Three hour session on white paper held at GEO ADC in September

2007 in Washington• Contact is Bob Chen: [email protected]

WGISS-GEO Conclusions

Clear need for strategic view to guide CEOS WGISS contribution to GEO and GEOSS, complementing continued response to requests from CEOS Plenary, CEOS SIT, and GEO.

Multiple voices have brought up desire to structure more time for strategic discussion in upcoming WGISS meetings.

Questions/issues How can WGISS TTs, Subgroups coordinate to provide the need element for

access, interoperability, and data integration being called for by Virtual Constellations, and for reuse/repurposing for SBAs?

The VCs envisioned as perhaps eventually create fused or multi-agency products. How will those be “mediated” or “governed”?

18WGISS-24, Oberpfaffenhofen- October 15~19, 2007Technology and Services Subgroup Meetings

WGISS-GEO Way Forward

As incoming Chair, I will take the action to work on the issues of WGISS Strategy for GEO, and for suitable Agenda structure, working with appropriate WGISS members.

What may I need from you before next meeting? May poll agency members for your agency interest for whatnear-term types

of project contributions is of interest (and analyze for overlapping and mutual interest in WGISS and applicability to GEO).

Will provide information on progress VC and Joint WTF , and poll for interest at every possible point.

Will work with you and listen to ideas in differently structuring WGISS-25 agenda together.

Discussion? Little time now, so if you like, I suggest we can continue discussion at Amers

ee Hotel bar this evening, ~6:30 - 7:30. Get off the bus at Amersee, or walk on over.
