Google Apps Combination of Google Sites, Calendar, Docs, Chat under one domain Up to 50 users in free version (working on that) Open to public view, but user accounts for creation and editing. Not necessary to create own Google accounts. possible but not enabled at this time. Sites: Calendar: Docs: Chat - user account name in GoogleTalk Mobile - specific sync and mobile application opportunities

Sites organization AIP-2 separation into scenario categories tended to produce "gated" communities Suggestion for AIP-3 is to work in functional categories, e.g.: –Registration & discovery –Access, workflow, processing, models –Client applications –Users and use cases –Scenario's and scenario development –Standards, practices, testing –Data and rights –Other Each scenario would then maintain one or more pages of links to functional elements, shared documents, telecon notes, etc.

Standards and Interoperability Forum (SIF) The goal of the SIF is to enable ever-greater degrees of interoperability among GEOSS-contributed resources through facilitation, technical analysis, advocacy and education. AIP participants can use the SIF if assistance is desired with the utilization of the SIR or Components and Services Registry (CSR). The SIF Interoperability Advisors can provide technical assistance regarding interoperability, including the proper use of standards and special arrangements needed to implement a server or client component or service. There will be SIF representatives participating in the AIP process to interact with. Online access to the SIF can be found by going to Use of the SIF is encouraged for AIP participants if guidance and assistance is desired with respect to interoperability arrangements and objectives.

Standards and Interoperability Forum (SIF) Once navigating to the SIF, assistance can be requested. The online submission process will be available starting April

Best Practices Wiki (BPW) It is a GCI component that is available to all AIP participants. It can be used to capture what GEOSS providers and users believe could be a best practice for interoperability. Contributions to the BPW need not be finished best practices: –It can be used during the AIP process to fine tune the content provided. –It is a resource for comments, contributions, development, and convergence to a best practice by an organization, community, SBA, etc. AIP participants can use the SIF for assistance with the use of the BPW or with registration of content for the BPW. –BPW can be found at –Registration is required to gain full control over contributed content. Use of the BPW is strongly encouraged for AIP participants so that future GEOSS contributors and users can benefit from their knowledge and experience regarding the implementation and use of interoperability arrangements.

Best Practices Wiki (BPW) Once navigating to the BPW, the How-To documents can be accessed as user guides.
