3. Session Highlights Very engaging session
Experience from current implementations of data sharing
Discussions about focusing initially on licenses only, not user management, due to:
Perceived amount of work involved
Security/privacy issues regarding contribution and use of personal information
Identification of issues to consider
Service and user licenses (restrictions, access controls)
License stacking for data layers, i.e. WMS
License attachment for data merging
License representation to users (logo, details, etc.)

4. Suggested Initial Directions
Licensing use cases
CC0, CC with attribution
ISO 19115, FGDC metadata standards
Work may contribute to ISO revisions currently being considered
Merged data, layered data, and derivative product generation

5. Later Activities
Look at other licensing options, based upon use cases developed previously
Provenance
Tagging
Reuse and redistribution
Pursue user management use cases and architectural solutions for registration and SSO

6. Workgroup Plan Broad milestones
04/2010: Reference design and use cases released to BPW and made available to GCI-CT, DSTF, and SIF
Develop use cases, starting from those in the AIP-3 CFP, but open to new offerings and ideas
Develop reference architecture and design from use cases as suggested solution for GEOSS users and providers
08/2010: Development completed by participating providers (CIESIN, Compusult, GENESI-DR, GIGAS Data )

7. Workgroup Plan Communication
Google Sites / list
Telecons
Initial call to take place soon (will use doodle to arrange first call, notice sent to AIP Plenary)
First telecon will be used to agree on working plan, assign roles (if necessary), and decide frequency of telecons
Other technologies, as appropriate
Presentations and notes from session will be uploaded to Google Sites
