Slide # 1 “Task-level GEOSS Roadmap” Chu Ishida, JAXA Yoichi Nakamura, Mitsubishi Research Institute, Inc. Feb. 6-7, 2008 ADC Full Committee Meeting #6

It has the following features; It is two level roadmap (Target and Tasks) and the linkage of targets and task is shown. Transition and evaluation of task is also given, indicating where we are in the progress in overall targets and tasks. If we know how far we could make progress or where progress is slow, we could make necessary adjustment for better task management. Slide # 2 Proposed Task-level Roadmap The task-level roadmap is developed based on the existing roadmap which is for providing overall picture of the GEOSS implementation process. The task-level roadmap is for planning actual implementation. JAXA has developed the task-level roadmap for CEOS and proposed it for review at the CEOS IP Meeting in December GEOSS 2, 6, 10 year targets relating to space-based observation are extracted in accordance with the “CEOS IP for Space Based Observations for GEOSS”.

JAXA proposes to develop the task-level roadmap for GEOSS as a part of the Tactical Document. For GEOSS, all targets and tasks should be covered, not only targets relating to space-based observation. Task-level road map will be useful in understanding where you are and how you are doing for each task. Task-level Roadmap for GEOSS
