2. Rationale and Scope
The GEOSS Registration process aims to add a new resource Provider to GEOSS
This process relies on the following principles and requirements
Need of an operational simplified process with GEOSEC being at the head of the information Chain.
Need to Build the (Human) Community of the GEOSS (System of Sytems) Data Providers
Need to collect essential admin information and being able to use them for multiple scopes
Importance of quality in metadata and data .

3. New Provider Registration Process
GEOSS Brokering process aims to add a new enterprise system to the GEOSS supply system:
To recognize a new GEOSS Provider;
To recognize a new enterprise system which publishes the new set of datasets;
To recognize a new set of datasets –or more than one- shared by the new Provider;
To recognize one or more Web/Internet interfaces (or APIs) exposed by the new enterprise system to implement data sharing –i.e. discoverability and access
