1. WGISS and WGCapD Collaborations
Committee on Earth Observation Satellites
WGISS and WGCapD Collaborations
WGISS-44
Beijing, China
25th September 2017

2. Topic #1
WGCapD assist WGISS in sharing training best practices and in building awareness of WGISS planned webinars.

3. Topic #2
WGISS and WGCapD collaborate on a study to come up with ways to address the current issue that Earth Observation data systems typically deal with supporting documentation in heterogeneous ways both within and between systems. This heterogeneity hampers interoperability frameworks in their ability to provide the end user community with a good--and consistent--data usage experience. See details in below with suggested steps.

4. Topic #3
WGCapD and WGISS collaborate on CB-21: Explore future options for providing portal-based access to capacity building and training resources. Conduct a study of existing and potential new approaches to collect, coordinate, and synergize available capacity building and training resources related to satellite Earth observations, e.g. GEOCaB, VLab training calendar and methods, and other alternate approaches.

5. Topic #4
3-way collaboration between CEOS System Engineering Office, WGISS, and WGCapD to support data cube efforts, e.g. pilot installations, promoting awareness.
