4. GEO Data Providers Workshop, Florence 20-21 April 2017
Some Numbers:
132 Registered from 93 different organizations
95 actual participants
Approx 40 New Organizations to GCI

5. Brief summary of Key outcomes of the workshop
Share more about GCI operations and success stories
Strong encouragement on use the GEOSS Common Infrastructure to secure data discoverability and accessibility across the world
Showcase of enhancement of the GEOSS Portal and GEO DAB and future of the GCI
Encouragement and examples on using GCI components such GEODAB APIs and GEOSS Portal widgets for GEO community portals.
Dialogue on key elements: Standards, Data Quality, GEOSS Data Management Principles
Agreement with data providers to implement Data Management Principles, towards better quality of the resources provided in a step approach
Enhanced communication on statistics to Data providers, throug the establishment of dashboards
Learn about brokering process, how to contribute data and resources to the GCI
Data providers have applauded the semplification of the registration and brokering process with the inclusion of the Yellow pages
Data providers recognized that the process of being brokered provides a valuable service to the organization it self, improving quality as well visibility and recognizion

6. GCI meets the Communities

7. GCI meets the Communities

8. SBA Views, an easier way to access thematic content

9. SBAs thematic functionalities

10. GEOSS Portal Enhancements: first phase status
Restyling of the Graphical User Interface
Aligned with new GEO Web-site and Brand
Simpler / More Intuitive
Improvements include: page structures, search & discovery, results display & access
Inclusion of smart filters for imagery (Landsat, Sentinel 2) and SAR-type (Sentinel 1) satellite data and Earthquake events
My WorkSpace initial set-up (Personalisation/Profiling, Save and reuse searches, Bookmark results)
Geo-localisation services: API,
Base maps selection (CartoDB, ESRI, MapBox, OpenStreetMap)
Proprietary ESRI data (e.g. regarding active hurricanes, tropical storms)

11. Current focus User-centric, considering various user communities:
GEO Flagships and Global initiatives
ESA Thematic Exploitation Platforms
Copernicus Core Services: Atmosphere (CAMS), Marine (CMEMS), Land (CLMS), Climate (C3S), Emergency (EMS), Security
Additional enhancements considered include:
My workspace evolution;
Multi-modality and responsive web-design;
Statistics;
GEOSS Portal Reuse: Widgets and Mirroring;
Visualisation services (e.g. layers, legend, …);
GEO Like and social collaboration;
Processing services
Upcoming
(Online) Workshops: User-oriented ones, Data Provider Oriented ones, Developer oriented ones

12. GEOSS Portal Widgets from Communities
Reuse GEOSS Portal
GEOSS Portal Widgets from Communities
GEOSS Portal functionalities will be available for reuse by other portals to
Align with GEOSS Look & Feel for a ‘one portal’ experience.
Combine GEOSS Portal mapping functionality, search and results display functionality and integrate this together with their own functionality.

13. The GEO DAB APIs

14. Different APIs for serving diverse Application development use cases  
A set of standard Web service interfaces:
e.g. OGC service interfaces, OAI-PMH, etc.
A set of APIs for software developers:
Client side APIs:
(high-level) JavaScript library
… . (Python)
Server side APIs:
REST/JSON APIs
OpenSearch APIs
… .   

15. GEOSS View Definition:
Subset of the whole GEOSS resources defined by applying, via the DAB, a set of clauses
Discovery clauses (e.g. spatial envelope, keywords, sources, etc.)
Access clauses (e.g. data format, access protocol, CRS, etc.)
Defined “View” exposed on the GEOSS Portal
Consumer-defined View – i.e. Client-side These views are available only for the client application which defined the view.
Provider-defined View –i.e. Server-side These views are available for all client applications.

16. Test Environment
A simple web-based tool to define and manage GEOSS Views

17. GEO CRADLE

18. Open Earth Observations for Decision Making CALL FOR APPLICATIONS!
Build on top of GCI components to discover and access GEOSS resources focusing on:
Climate Change
Disaster Risk Reduction
Sustainable Development Goals
Create your geospatial application using GEO DAB APIs :
Discover the Open EO data through the GEOSS Portal: geoportal.org
Successful applications will be presented at the GEO2017 Plenary,
Washington DC, October 2017 at the “GEO In Action” side event!
