Elaboration of GEOSS Architecture Operational Capability User Needs, Scenarios Design, Develop, Deploy Architecture Implementation Pilot (AIP) GEOSS Common Infrastructure (GCI) support persistent implementation requirements SBA Tasks, UIC A Call for Participation (CFP) in the GEOSS Architecture Implementation Pilot, Phase 2 was announced by the GEO Secretariat on 30 June 2008. To date, 37 responses have been received. The CFP remains open for the duration of AIP-2. The KO was held in Boulder Colorado, USA, Sep 25-26. Eighty five (85) persons attended the workshop over the two days. The AIP-2 Development phase will be conducted in 9 wgs. The 4 Community Working Groups will develop Scenarios that define the user objectives and the steps in the users decision process. The 5 Transverse Technology Working Groups are developing Use Cases that define how GEOSS Interoperability Arrangements are used to support the steps in the user Scenarios. AIP-2 plans to be completed in March 2009 with these results: 1) Demonstrations of the user scenarios; 2) Transition of select services to persistent operations, and 3) Select reports provided to the GEOSS Best Practices Registry.

GEOSS Interoperability Arrangements - From the GEOSS 10 Year Plan Reference Document - Interoperability through open interfaces Interoperability specifications agreed to among contributing systems Access to data and information through service interfaces Open standards and intellectual property rights GEOSS adopting standards; agreed upon by consensus, preference to formal international standards GEOSS will not require commercial or proprietary standards Multiple software implementations compliant with the open standards should exist Goal is that at least one of the implementations should be available to all implementers "royalty-free"

GEO Task AR-07-02 Architecture Implementation Pilot Lead incorporation of contributed components consistent with the GEOSS Architecture… …using a GEO Web Portal and a GEOSS Clearinghouse search facility …to access services through GEOSS Interoperability Arrangements …in support of GEOSS Societal Benefit Areas

AIP Phase 1 results in 2007 Demonstrated effective development process: CFP, Kickoff, Execution, etc. Approximately 120 organizations Established organization communication methods For international coordination Produced Screencasts of Initial Operating Capability Prepared “Architecture Implementation Report” AI Pilot has broad international participation that could only have occurred with GEO. High interest & momentum supporting GEOSS vision.

AIP Phase 2 Themes Augment the GEOSS Common Infrastructure Emphasize SBAs identified by UIC/ADC collaboration Develop "persistent exemplars” Elaborate GEOSS Architecture Scenarios and Use Cases Service and Component types Interoperability Arrangements Slide 9

AI Pilot Development Approach Participation AR-07-02 Architecture Implementation Pilot Evolutionary Development Process Concept Development Participation Continuous interaction with external activities Call for Participation Participation Kick-off Workshop Architecture Documentation Updates for each step Baseline Participation Development Activities Participation Persistent Operations (AR-07-01) Operational Baseline and Lessons Learned for next evolutionary spiral

Scenarios and Use Cases Transverse Use Cases support Community Scenarios Scenarios: end user view of the value of GEOSS Focused on topics of interest to a community Occur in a geographic Area of Interest (AOI) Steps in a scenario are Use Cases Scenarios developed by Community WGs Use Cases: reusable service oriented architecture Use cases for discovery, data access, etc Utilize Interoperability Arrangements Use Cases developed by Transverse Technology WGs

Community Scenarios - Draft Air Quality and Health: Use of earth observations to inform three decision-makers: policy-maker, AQ compliance manager, and the public Disasters: Disaster cycle for Flooding events Biodiversity and Climate Change Polar scenario(s) CC impact on Pikas in North America; Renewable Energy Site selection process for solar and wind energy
