Reading meeting. December 12-14th, This is still a GEOSS project New on the GCI –Discovery and download of broader and more heterogeneous datasets by connecting existing data sharing systems (i.e. EuroGEOSS and GENESI DEC/FedEO) with the GCI that allows transverse data discovery from data catalogues outside of GEOSS registries (supported by the broker functionality and the Earth Observation Common Vocabulary (EOCV)) direct download of data sets. GEO is in a transition to a new structure. All committees and tasks are gone (ADC, STC, ST-09-02) and a new structure is emerging.

Reading meeting. December 12-14th, The aim GeoViQua will provide a set of scientifically developed software components and services that facilitate the creation, search and visualization of quality information on EO data integrated and validated in the GEOSS Common Infrastructure. Pilot case studies C R O S S S B A Community building GEO S&T Label

Reading meeting. December 12-14th, Project objectives 1. Provision of innovative tools to enhance the current infrastructure capability. –GeoViQua’s major technical innovation is search and visualization tools for the community which communicate and exploit data quality information from GEOSS catalogues. 2. Development of the GEOLabel. –GEOLabel requirements are identified (Work Package WP2), integrated with components (WP6), validated and applied into pilot cases (WP7), and disseminated to the community (WP8). It will be completed in collaboration with the GEO task ST Harmonization, exploitation and dissemination of project outputs. –A careful validation process is conducted in collaboration with a number of communities of practice and standards committees to ensure that the project contributes effectively to the GCI architecture. Collaboration to AIP will be continuous.

Reading meeting. December 12-14th, Possible OWS-9 activities Quality encodings –Producer created quality information is supposed to be encoded on metadata as quality measures as well as conformity to some rules using XML encodings. –An alternative encoding is provided by UncertML (An old public discussion paper in OGC) –Provenance is seen as part of the quality information (ISO19115 Lineage is an alternative, W3Cprov is another alternative) –User feedback about datasets and peer review are other information that could be included as quality. The state of the art in OGC –Almost no reference in service standards about how to relate data and quality. Links to metadata elements is a possibility but no real examples are provided. –Situation in encoding standards like GML or KML. –Some profiles for WMS or other OWS services but there is no profile on how to communicate data with data quality. –WCS 2.0 general structure mentioned an extension for an uncertainty coverage in WCS but this is not available –WPS implementations provide access to any kind of models but no reference on how to communicate provenance on results or how to input and propagate uncertainties to the outputs (Some old OWS-x edition experimented with this) –OWS Context standard provide another way to associate data to other information in the same view but no quality scenario has been considered so far. OGC ®

Reading meeting. December 12-14th, Quality viewer scenario A integrated client wants to show data and quality/provenance at the same time. –Data quality indicators and flags Product/dataset/sensor level quality as text data Pixel/feature quality in the map view –As extra style –In a synchronized window –Provenance as a tree or network It is possible to show/switch the source data from the provenance tree. Relevant services –WMS, KML clients Deliverables –Quality encoding for WMS and KML ER –Quality enable integrated client able to render data, quality indicators, quality flag parallel datasets, provenance tree/network representation (workflow) OGC ®

Reading meeting. December 12-14th, Quality propagation scenario The central element or the scenario is a WPS chain that is able to propagate quality in processes execution. –Reads data quality from other services –Encodes output resulting data quality –Involves multipart input and output data + metadata + quality + provenance Services involved –WFS that could encode quality in GML or in independent metadata –WCS (uncertainty extension) as input –WPS quality enabled Deliverables –WCS uncertainty extension ER –Quality enable WFS (+GML schema) ER –WPS quality propagation + provenance implementation with multipart files. OGC ®

Reading meeting. December 12-14th, Participation in OWS-9 (or OWS-10) GeoViQua aims to provide some tools on quality visualization with the data and data search filtered and raged by quality, but first there is a need have a clear way to easily expose data quality in OGC services and encodings. We offer a small monetary sponsorship and also one person of the CREAF staff to participate/lead some activity on data quality in-kind. Other partners in the project could also participate in-kind but this has to be confirmed. NRCan, NGA and FAA has expressed interest in the provenance/propagation scenario and could finance some participation. OGC ®

JS: good. LB: OWS-9 is a possibility. JB: Milestone is already passed. Motion: Joan Masó (CREAF) Second: Dan Cornford Is there any objection to the unanimous consent?

® Reading meeting. December 12-14th, 2011 QUAlity aware VIsualisation for the Global Earth Observation system of systems Quality Extraction quality component Task 3.1

Reading meeting. December 12-14th, Original DoW Description This task develops a tool to identify quality indicators from existing metadata documents and will be able to read information from different file formats and process this information. Since quality parameters were left open in 19115, this tool will integrate quality description into the unified model specified in Task 6.1. This will make possible to create a catalogue of quality metadata in a common format. Also, provenance information in metadata documents (LI_Lineage) can be used to infer quality information from the data sources. [CREAF, UAB, S&T and CNR]

Reading meeting. December 12-14th, To the EuroGEOSS broker If there are no quality parameters, a tool to extract data quality from provenance data (in theory) –In order this to be possible, we need a link between the resource and its sources. This is possible if there is a link to the source metadata document. –But links are poor populated and they can not function as real links 59FR13375 NF GSF Multibeam Data J:\Albuq_orig_meta\PAIS\pais_valley_pipl.xml Server= ; Service=esri_sde; User=geo_pol; Version=SDE.DEFAULT drto_DOQQ.sid, Projection: NAD_ 83_UTM_Zone 16N, Meters.
