"Core" Architecture defined initial version of GCI
AIP-2 Kickoff Sep 2008; demo ISRSE May 2009; Beta operations Sep 2009
SBA implementations of common cross-cutting architecture; Refined GCI concept supporting transition to operations
AIP-3 Kickoff Mar 2010; results to Beijing Plenary; Complete Feb 2011
Enabled network building in GEOSS SBA communities; Piloted Broker and processing capabilities
AIP-4 Kickoff May 2011; results to Istanbul Plenary; Complete Dec 2011
Increased access to priority earth observation data; via server software, tutorials and application clients
Agile development is a set of iterations.
Initial phases, iterations created discovery – GCI
Current and next phases focus on Access to Data
“Fostering interoperability arrangements and common practices for GEOSS”

30. SIF Assists in bringing more services online
Tutorial development
Help with interoperability issues
The goal of the SIF is to enable ever-greater degrees of interoperability among GEOSS-contributed resources through facilitation, technical analysis, advocacy and education.
Use of the SIF is encouraged for AIP participants if guidance and assistance is desired with respect to interoperability arrangements and objectives.

31. Tutorial Development and Publication
Led by SIF
GEOSS Best Practices Wiki used
AIP-4 Published Tutorials
WFS, WCS, WMS, SOS, WPS
AIP-5 Participants to Tutorials
CSISS-GMU, EO2HEAVEN
GEOWOW, NASA
NOAA, TUD-GLUES
UNEP-Live, GeoViQua
Best Practices can be published, as well
Tutorials written in AIP-4 and those to be written or enhanced in AIP-5.

32. Tutorials on Best Practice Wiki
Developed in private area
Becomes public when published
Follows a uniform structure
Periodic telecons for:
reviews
issue resolution
publication planning

33. AIP Communication Plan
Telecons
AIP Plenary Telecon - Tuesdays
WG Telecons – as determined by WG leads
list-servers
Lists for work groups to be formed

34. Twiki zone for AIP5 as a collaborative environment

35. Twiki zone for AIP5 as a collaborative environment
AIP5 twiki web is
public for reading
requires registration for writing/editing.
How to register?
(Normal registration page is closed to avoid fake user registration)
To register
add “Hidden” to the normal registration URL, or
use this URL directly:
Once registered you will be manually added to the AIP5Group (it can take time but we will try to do it fast).
Once you receive an message saying that you are part of the AIP5Group you will be able to edit and create new pages in the twiki zone

36. Twiki zone for AIP5 as a collaborative environment
How to add content
Currently, there is only the main page with the provisional list of AIP5 topics.
This will evolve to a list of working groups.
Once in your working group page you can create new pages yourself
By default [edit] gives you a visual environment but, [raw edit] is not so hard.
Attach document is possible but performance is degraded when submitting documents > 10Mb.
Questions
The manuals and helps are very complete
Contact

37. AIP-5 Kickoff Workshop Objectives
Refine collaboration and interoperability goals
Develop scenarios meeting SBA needs
Develop detailed design based on GEOSS AIP Architecture
Develop detailed plan and schedule
Determine if a Working Group should be formed
