1. Implementing GEOSS architecture with-and-for Users George Percivall Open Geospatial Consortium Task lead AR-09-01B

2. Operational Capability Operational Capability User Needs, Scenarios User Needs, Scenarios Design, Develop, Deploy Design, Develop, Deploy ADC activities including: Architecture Implementation Pilot (AIP) Task AR-09-01b GEOSS Common Infrastructure (GCI) Task AR-09-01a support persistent implementation requirements SBA Tasks, UIC, CBC, STC A process, elaboration of GEOSS Architecture

3. 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"

4. GEO Task AR-09-01b Architecture Implementation Pilot Support SBAs by developing new process and infrastructure components for GCI and the broader GEOSS architecture Evolutionary Development thru AIP Phases Demonstrate and document results to inform GEOSS Development progress “fostering interoperability arrangements and common practices for GEOSS”

5. AIP-3 Focus Areas Technology Areas –Services Use Cases –Data Harmonization –Data Sharing –Semantics SBAs addressed –Energy –Disaster Management –Climate Change and Biodiversity –Water Drought –Health: Air Quality

6. AIP Interaction with Users User scenarios drive development –Implemented through use cases –Scenario WG interaction with CoPs –Scenario demonstrations recorded for later se AIP support of UIC Usability Testing –GCI came from AIP-1 –AIP supported GCI usability testing –Recommend usability testing for AIP-4 results AIP-4 focus on data to users –Increase access to UIC priority observations –Usability testing of access enablers

7. AIP Architecture Elements Components –Manageable units hardware, software, networks Services –Methods for components to interact using GEOSS Interoperability Arrangements Use Cases –Describe what can be done with Services, e.g., Discovery, Access, Workflow, etc. Scenarios –Meet SBA User needs; accomplished with Use Cases
