Data Sharing Guidelines WG Data access conditions being considered: –Data licensing Public domain (CC0) Creative Commons with attribution Creative Commons non-commercial Other and non-standard licenses –User management User registration and login Single sign-on open standard options –OpenID, OAuth, Shibboleth

Data Sharing Guidelines WG Use Cases for licensing conditions: –Currently in development –To be finished by late May to early June –Will include recommendation for metadata encoding and potential impacts to Clearinghouse and GWP Use Cases for user management –Using ASTER GDEM and Disaster Management scenario as case studies –Will be addressed after licensing is completed Experimental implementation of Use Cases –Development between May and September –Testing from July/August forward

Disaster Management - Introduction Objective Update DM Reference Scenario from AIP-2 Approach –Identification of Disaster Management initiatives –Comparative Analysis of GEOSS AIP-2 Reference Scenario and Dedicated DM reference scenario. –Gathering Comparative Analysis in order to produce a unique GEOSS AIP-3 Reference Scenario.

Disaster Management - Done 4 Disaster Management Initiatives have been identified CSDP Ubiq-Mon (Typhoon Disaster Management in Tawain) 3D-WMS (3D viewing and transportation network update for DM) SAFER (Emergency Response Core Service - Europe) 4 Comparative Analysis has been conducted report dedicated to User Management in collaboration with End2Engineering

Disaster Management - Trends It should be considered New actors dedicated to coordination Additional details on geo-product production (esp. Thematic Product) Capabilities bring by the 3D Concept of Crisis Termination

Disaster Management - Next Merge results of comparative analysis in the official template (draft for review 05/17/2010) Address User Management (telecon 05/20/2010)

AIP-3 Working Group Energy Lionel Menard Mines ParisTech

AIP-3 Energy scenario: “Information on environmental impacts of the production, transportation and use of energy” Leader: Mines ParisTech (Poc: Lionel Menard & Isabelle Blanc) Team: GENESIS and EnerGEO consortiums (European Commission FP7 funded projects) Ecoinvent (Swiss SME) Why assessing the environmental impacts of the energy sector ? Worldwide demand of energy is growing: global energy demand will increase by % from 2003 to 2030 (IEA, 2005) Energy production, transportation and consumption imply considerable pressures on the environment Sustainability of current and future energy consumptions is of serious concern Cross SBA concerns (Climate, Water, Ecosystems, Health) Need for information to help assessing current environmental impacts on a global and local scale : energy diversification leading to reduce pressure on the environment. Key issues when assessing the environmental impacts of the Photovoltaic sector (Users) What is the most favorable technology for PV module ? (Installers) What are the overall environmental performances of PV systems related to their implementation ? (Policy planners, Energy operators) What is the carbon footprint of a PV system according to its lifecycle ? (Policy planners, Energy operators) What are the overall environmental performances of PV systems related to their fabrication ? (Installers, Energy operators, Policy planners)

Scenario objectives: Provide the necessary GEOSS compatible components to answer user’s concerns Component’s list includes: OGC Web Map Service (WMS) and Web Processing Service (WPS) of: Average annual solar irradiation (kWh/m 2 ) (Mines ParisTech) Environmental outputs of PV systems (Ecoinvent & Mines ParisTech) OGC CSW (Catalog Service Web) (EnerGEO) Appropriate web map (WMS) and web processing capacities (WPS) using software from the GENESIS solution (GENESIS) Web Portal and Geodata Visualization Portlet (GUI) (GENESIS)

AIP-3 Working Group: Water Will Pozzi

AIP-3 Working Group: Water Two Scenarios –Agricultural Drought –Water Quality Aiming to be supportive of GEOSS Water Tasks Informatics –Remove wading through multiple forms on web sites, requiring familiarity with the details of how data are organized within each data collection –Retrieval and updating of data (streamflow, etc.) can be based upon an updated WaterML

Designing an Interoperable system capable of Growth

Interoperability is required between EuroGEOSS and USA efforts—and Australia Fast access through web portal Seamless up and downscaling Comparison and analysis New perspectives for R&D “To develop a European Drought Observatory within the framework of INSPIRE specifications and GEOSS interoperability arrangements, fully integrated with local and national systems in Europe and international drought early warning systems as a European contribution to a Global Drought Early Warning System.”
