4. GEOSS Interoperability Arrangements - From the GEOSS 10 Year Plan Reference Document -
Interoperability through open interfaces
Interoperability specifications agreed to among contributing systems
Access to data and information through service interfaces
Open standards and intellectual property rights
GEOSS adopting standards; agreed upon by consensus, preference to formal international standards
GEOSS will not require commercial or proprietary standards
Multiple software implementations compliant with the open standards should exist
Goal is that at least one of the implementations should be available to all implementers "royalty-free"

5. Architecture Implementation Pilot
AIP-1  Kickoff: Jun 2007; Alpha operations Nov 2007; Arch Workshop Feb 2008
"Core" Architecture as initial GCI
AIP-2 Kickoff Sep 2008; demo ISRSE May 2009; Beta operations Sep 2009
Refined GCI supported transition to operations
AIP-3 Kickoff Mar 2010; results to Beijing Plenary; Complete Feb 2011
SBA Scenarios; Piloted Broker and Processing capabilities
GEOSS Architecture Progress video for Beijing Ministerial - link
AIP-4 Kickoff May 2011; results to Istanbul Plenary; Complete Dec 2011
Increased access to priority EO data
AIP-5 Kickoff May 2012; results to Brazil Plenary; Complete Mar 2013
SBA application scenarios; GCI research
AIP-6 Kickoff March 2013; results to Ministerial; Complete 2014
Ministerial Showcases
Agile development is a set of iterations.
Initial phases, iterations created discovery – GCI
Current and next phases focus on Access to Data

8. Workshop Objectives
Meet the GEO aim of interoperability of existing and new systems that provide Earth observations
Build on prior GEO activities including:
GCI Architecture Workshop 2008
SIF Interoperability Workshops
GEO Sensor Web Workshops
Support similar discussions for GEOSS Model Web
These activities are elements of GEO Task IN-05 "GEOSS Design and Interoperability".

9. Task IN-05: GEOSS Design and Interoperability
IN-05 Priority Action: develop a Technical Design of GEOSS and Contributed Resources
"GEOSS architecture beyond GCI” 
registries, information types, predictive models, sensor webs, software/applications, and data, system interfaces, and services
Confirm architecture through value-added deployments with SBAs
E.g. Showcases for EO Ministerial
Future Products Workshop as major contribution to IN-05 objectives
