1. NOAA-CWIC Report Ken McDonald/NOAA-RTI Martin Yapur/NOAA CWIC Session, WGISS–42 September 21, 2016

2. Topics NOAA support for: CWIC Infrastructure NOAA as a Data Provider
CWIC Client Development

3. CWIC Infrastructure Support
Along with NASA, NOAA is supporting CWIC development
Assist new data partners
Test connectors
With NASA and USGS, NOAA is supporting CWIC operations
Server sustaining engineering
Metrics
Task is in place with GMU Team led by Dr. Liping Di through end of CY 2017

4. NOAA Data Providers
NOAA hosts archive for the Group on High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST)
Operational
Additional data collections
Refinements to metadata
Continuing to investigate access to full set of NOAA satellite data resources
Held in the Comprehensive Large-Array Stewardship System (CLASS)
CLASS machine-to-machine (M2M) interface limited to internal use by NOAA Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)
CWIC access through NCEI planned

5. (Mediator, Connectors)
CWIC Status Summary
Infrastructure Services
Brokered discovery/search/access to diverse set of satellite data from a set of data provider partners
Limited set of clients
Both CSW and OpenSearch
Rich set of data partners
Continuing to add new data partners
Additional data collections
Supporting operations
CWIC Clients
(CSW/OpenSearch)
CWIC Server
(Mediator, Connectors)
CWIC Data Partners

6. CWIC Clients Generic CWIC Clients
Provide common discovery/access to all CWIC partner holdings
Provide fixed set of search/access services across all collections
Specialized Community Clients/Portals
Limit search domain to specific discipline or area of interest
Enable integration of CWIC satellite data with other data types
Provide other enhanced search/access services
Combination of Generic and Community Clients
Maximizes utilization and benefits of CWIC infrastructure

7. CWIC Community Portal Initiative
As part of its support to CWIC Dev/Ops task with GMU, NOAA added a subtask and resources to design/implement CWIC community portals
Task statement includes several subtasks
Review existing client/portal implementations
Identify one or more communities that wish to collaborate on the initiative
Engage community representatives to establish initial set of requirements
Design portal architecture in collaboration with community
Implement a prototype

8. Status and Plans GMU team reviewed existing portals
LSI CWIC Portal
NASA Earth Data Portal
CEOS Water Portal
Others
Team has reviewed work of similar GEO Community Portal activity
Will track or join effort in the future

9. GEOSS Community Portals
CWIC client initiative similar to the GEOSS Community Portals Subtask under the GCI Development (GD-07) Task
GEOSS CP Team comprised of GEOSS Common Infrastructure (GCI) Providers and Community Representatives
Idea is to maximize utilization of GCI by promoting and enabling development of community portals/clients and leveraging community infrastructure capabilities

10. Initial Thoughts
While initiated within CWIC Project portal implementation should investigate access to CWIC, FedEO, GCI and other providers
Enabled by CEOS OpenSearch Protocol
Can provide common access to all CEOS holdings
GCI opens up broader access to in situ data
GMU team proposes to extend services beyond discovery and access
Visualization and animation services
Simple analytic functions
On-demand preprocessing and customization (e.g. re-projection, re-formatting, etc.)
Service requirements established through interactions with communities

11. Next Steps - Discussion
Andy and Mirko proposed portal collaboration possibilities to the Carbon Lead and full SIT Plenary at SIT Workshop last week
Positive initial response
Follow-up with technical representatives is needed/anticipated
Need your feedback, ideas….?
