EuroGEOSS Project Three Interoperability phases

EuroGEOSS Project Distributed Computing Infrastructure (s) Geospatial Information Infrastructure Digital Earth Infrastructure Multi-disciplinary Interoperability Different interoperability levels -at different Infrastructures level Four main infrastructure types 1.Thematic/Community Infrastructures –SBA/CoP resources core functionalities 2.Digital Earth (Earth System Science) Infrastructure –Earth science resources core functionalities 3.Geospatial Information Infrastructure –Geospatial resources core functionalities 4.Distributed Computing Infrastructure –Distributed Capacity provision functionalities InformationSystems Domain Semanti cs Earth System

EuroGEOSS Project Challenges to fill the gap existing (autonomous) capacitiesBuild on existing (autonomous) capacities system of systems –Implement a “system of systems” –Build on existing and future information systems –Supplementing but not supplanting systems mandates and governance arrangements Low Entry BarrierAssure a Low Entry Barrier for Users and Resource Providers –Mediate (standard and non-standard capacities) –Interconnect (capacities) and Adapt existing capacities Semantic Interoperability –Implement Semantic Interoperability –Shift from technical interoperability towards conceptual composability –Avoid tight coupling or strong integrations

EuroGEOSS Project... Implement Subsetting & Transformation services Step 1: Discovery Implement Multi-disciplinary Interoperability Arrangements Implement Interoperability Arrangements

EuroGEOSS Project... Implement Subsetting & Transformation services Underpin a common grid environment Step 2: Access Geospatial Web resources. What about Web 2.0 resources ?

EuroGEOSS Project Implement Web 2.0 Interoperability Arrangements Implement Web 2.0 discovery Interfaces Step 3: Web 2.0 Resources Well-structured geospatial queries What about Semantic discovery for EO ?

EuroGEOSS Project Step 4: Augmented Discovery Implement Semantic discovery Augment the Discovery Broker capacities Publish Semantic Discovery standard interface(s) Connect and Mediate heterogeneous Semantic resources
