GEO ADC Co-Chair meeting USGS, Reston, Dec
Slide # 2

3. AR-07-01: Description of Work (1)
Enable the System of Systems Engineering activity to further elaborate the GEOSS architecture including development of practical use cases, that will be mainly derived from UIC input.
Provide and update GEOSS strategic and tactical guidance documents (derived from AR-06-02) to GEO Members and Participating Organizations to promote understanding of the high level strategic and tactical approaches to GEOSS implementation.
GEO ADC Co-Chair meeting USGS, Reston, Dec
Slide # 3

4. AR-07-01: Description of Work (2)
Provide and update guidelines on linkage of GEOSS components (derived from AR-06-03) and support of Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) resources (derived from DA-06-06).
Define and deploy core GEOSS registries.
GEO ADC Co-Chair meeting USGS, Reston, Dec
Slide # 4

5. AR-07-01: Description of Work (3)
Implement and maintain the process for the Standards Interoperability Forum (AR-06-01) responsible for interoperability arrangements including special arrangements and standards.
Prototype and validate the implementation of the “Core” GEOSS infrastructure (registries, Clearinghouse, Web Portal) and the processes for contributing and linking systems using the Interoperability Process Pilot Projects.
GEO ADC Co-Chair meeting USGS, Reston, Dec
Slide # 5

6. AR-07-01: Output & Deliverables
Report of the support acitivity of committed components to link GEOSS architecture.
Report of design GEOSS reference and functional architecture including practical use cases.
Documentation on core registries design and interaction
Reports on existing process and guidelines:
Process for interoperability arrangements (AR-06-01)

10. AR-07-01: Relevant Tasks & Committees
Obvious linkage with AR – Clearinghouse and Portal deployment reifies the architectural principles
AR linkage
Recommended GEOSS registered data schemas, formats, and related artefacts may need to be managed – outputs of DA and DA (data standards), DA (best practices), AR-06-06/DA (DEM standard practice)
Many SBA tasks suggest implementation phase but not explicit support for the GEOSS architecture
