This Figure depicts the enhanced capabilities in an operational view diagram. The contribution of resources related to earth observing systems are primarily data and services, and their descriptions (metadata). The central portion of the diagram shows the GEOSS Common Infrastructure that coordinates access to the systems, applications, models, and products. Users are shown in the context of the nine official GEO SBAs. 4 4

5. Documentation and data quality
Use Metadata and quality vocabularies
ISO19157 and QualityML
Focus on
provenance recording the data collection and/or generation, in detail sufficient to allow reproducibility.
Quality assessments in associated metadata tightly coupled to the data.
Address the multiple dimensions of quality:
Spatial and temporal coverage, resolution and uncertainties; Consistency; Attribution of error sources; Validation information; Latency time; Usability & purposes.
GEOSS Data Quality Guidelines
Approved by DDQ Subgroup on 12 June 2013
Approved by DSWG on 19 June 2013

6. User Feedback
Report fitness of purpose directly by recommending , in a standard way, and demonstrating the correct use of metadata to document dataset characteristics and quality.
Provide user feedback to data providers and other data users, using distributed repositories. Result: An increase the knowledge of the quality characteristics of the product’s real use.
NEWS: Geospatial User Feedback, developed by GeoViQua, is now an OGC standard: r1 and r1

7. ENEON provides Europe’s in-situ networks with a common strategy
Numerous in-situ networks operate across Europe underpinning European Earth observation; however they are not supported by a common strategy.
A common strategy will aid the in situ community in terms of identifying gaps and setting priorities, infrastructure, standards, interoperability, data policy and sustainability.
ENEON will link the heterogeneous in-situ networks presenting a unified voice to the EC, GEO, EARSC, Copernicus and the wider community
Committees:
Funding and sustainability; Network list and relational graph; and EO inventory and gaps
Working groups:
Novel in-situ sensors; EV for SDG monitoring; and Food, Water and Energy Nexus
ENEON provides Europe’s in-situ networks with a common strategy
