Helping the World to Communicate Geographically GWS and OGC Network OGC Network has been updated based upon on the 13 June Telecon discussions: – Note in particular the beginnings of a page for base WMS servers useful for most all demos. If you anticipate wanting to edit the OGC Network Pages for GEOSS: –

Helping the World to Communicate Geographically GEOSS Demos Lessons Learned Application-specific demos are a great way to engage with user communities that would not necessarily look to OGC standards. Emphasize message about using distributed components with open standards vs. standalone application Tremendous enthusiasm and commitment of agencies and research groups to collaborate Demo provides a fast-track to skills development and knowledge transfer. Live demo is compelling but dependent upon communications networks that may not be reliable at workshops Live demo should be accompanied by a pre-recorded demo Presentation of the demo works best with two projectors: one for the client application, the other for a powerpoint presentation explanation Start early to get satellite data Desirable to involve participants from the local region Keep it simple, focus on the magic of interoperability GEOSS Demos are persistent using OGC Network –

GEOSS Workshop/Demo at IPY GeoNorthYellowknife, Canada August 2007

Helping the World to Communicate Geographically GEOSS Workshop at GeoNorth Workshop Theme: “The Impact of Climate Change and Variability on Biodiversity and Energy in the Arctic " –Organized by Ellsworth LeDrew Workshop precedes the First International Circumpolar Conference on Geospatial Sciences and Applications, Yellowknife, N.W.T., Canada, August 20-24, 2007 –

Helping the World to Communicate Geographically GEOSS Workshop at GeoNorth Demonstration Theme: –Caribou movement and migration and the integration of snow pack data and greeness data from imagery –Suzanne Carriere of the Northwest Territories –CARMA group integrating spatial data to caribou data. Polar Regions defined for IPY (via Terry Fisher) –Regions North (or South) of 60 degrees at poles, recognizing that there may be regions that need to be included beyond these 'lines' In Canada this includes regions like Hudson Bay and Ungava Bay. –6 themes of IPY including: Global Connections, the influences of the Earth's polar regions on the rest of the planet and vice versa. Human Dimensions of the Arctic: people living in the north regions, for example Inuit communities in Nunavik and Nunasiavut.

Helping the World to Communicate Geographically Current status The Demo has a Theme of Caribou Migration as element of Biodiversity - a GEOSS Societal Benefit Area. CARMA has data on-line but it is not currently in WMS – –Terry Fisher is contacting Suzanne Carriere of CARMA to determine if caribou data can be hosted on GeoConnections WMS. Client: Robert Thomas, Compusult offered to provide the web client to display the composite maps; by accessing the various WMSs WMS layers available to support scenario: –JAXA/AMSR-E sea ice need update re WMS –NSIDC Atlas of the Cryosphere - John Maurer –NRCan Centre for Topographic Information - Daniel Pilon –GeoConnections - Terry Fisher Greg Yetman, CIESIN has offered support, already plans to be at GeoNorth; and is a veteran in leading GEOSS Workshop demos.
