6. Architecture Implementation Pilot AIP-1 Results The GEOSS Common Infrastructure AIP-2 Call for Participation Responses to the CFP Schedule for Phase 2

7. Slide 7 GEO Task AR-07-02 Architecture Implementation Pilot Lead incorporation of contributed components consistent with the GEOSS Architecture… …using a GEO Web Portal and a GEOSS Clearinghouse search facility …to access services through GEOSS Interoperability Arrangements …support GEOSS Societal Benefit Areas

8. Slide 8 AI Pilot has broad international participation that could only have occurred with GEO. High interest & momentum supporting GEOSS vision. AIP Phase 1 Results Elements of the GEOSS Common Infrastructure (GCI) – Initial Operating Capability established Effective development process for GEO –CFP, Kickoff, Execution, etc. –~120 organizations participated –Methods for international coordination 10 Demonstrations of Initial Operating Capability10 Demonstrations Prepared Architecture Implementation Report

9. GEOSS Common Infrastructure

10. AIP Phase 1 Results in 2007 64 Components & 75 Services registered (21 Nov 07) Interoperability Arrangement recommendations to the Standards and Interoperability Forum (SIF) User interfaces to services –GEO Web Portals: Compusult, ESA, ESRI –Community Portals (27) –Application Clients (13) Multiple organizations providing –GEOSS Clearinghouse –Community Catalogues –Data Services Slide 10

11. AIP Phase 2 Priorities Identify and register solutions that are available in GEOSS as complete application solutions used on a regular basis by a Community of Interest. Services and schemas exposed in well-documented, ideally standard, ways and demonstrated as interoperable with other solutions (in the scenarios). Coordination and integration activity through 'externality analysis' to relationships, dependencies and issues with related topics. Slide 11

12. AIP Phase 2 Themes Augment the GEOSS Common Infrastructure Emphasize SBAs identified by UIC/ADC collaboration Develop operational persistence; –"persistent exemplars Refine GEOSS AIP Architecture definition –Service and Component types –Interoperability Arrangements Further open the AIP Development Process to all interested parties Slide 12

15. AIP Phase 2 - CFP (Call For Participation ) CFP Main Document –Master Schedule –Themes 2008 –How to respond to CFP Annex A: Development plan –Development phases; Communication Plan –Relationship to GCI task force Annex B: Architecture Slide 15

16. GEOSS AIP-2 CFP Annex B Developers

17. CFP Annex B – Architecture Enterprise Viewpoint –Value of Earth Observations Information Viewpoint –Earth Observations schemas and encodings Computational Viewpoint –SOA services; broadcast; media distribution Engineering Viewpoint –Components types and interoperability arrangements Technology Viewpoint –Component Instances, Operational Criteria

18. GEOSS Enterprise Viewpoint GEOSS Information System

19. Enterprise Viewpoint GEO community objective: system of systems Societal benefit areas Data sharing principles Interoperability arrangements SBAs for the 2nd Phase of AIP-2 –Disaster Response –Air Quality and Health –Climate Change and Biodiversity –Renewable Energy

20. Information Viewpoint Maps, features, coverages, and observations Spatial Referencing; Coordinate Reference Systems Registry Model Metadata Encoding Formats Alerts and Feeds

21. Computational Viewpoint Service oriented architecture (SOA) –Publish-Find-Bind GEOSS Functions via SOA –Services for Discovery, Access, Processing, etc. –Events GEOSS Functions via broadcast –GEONETCast GEOSS Functions via Media

22. Definitions component: a part of GEOSS contributed by a GEO Member or Participating organization. Components may expose service interfaces to provide access to earth observation-related functions and/or data. Components are described in the GEOSS Component Registry. service: Functionality provided by a component through component system interfaces. Services communicate primarily using structured messages, based on the Services Oriented Architecture view of complex systems. Services are described, along with information about their operating organizations, in the GEOSS Service Registry.

25. Test Facility for Service Registration Provide a means for service operators and technology providers to get feedback on the efficacy of their interfaces and applications in implementing and using GEOSS Interoperability Arrangements Facility will also enable periodic checking as to the availability and reliability of registered components and services, To these ends, the Test Facility needs to be a permanent, sustainable resource.

26. CFP Architecture – Operational Persistence Length of commitment –Upon registering a service, a service provider must specify the length of time for which the service will be offered (preferably continuous operation). –Consider multiple years Level of service –services are expected to be available at least 99% of the time, except when otherwise required by the nature of the service. –This allows for approximately 7 hours of down time a month –Being achieved regularly by servers, Biggest problem is network provider –Performance (perhaps by specifying number of simultaneous connections) Termination –GEO may de-list a server –non-functioning components of the Network will diminish the operational and marketing value of the Network in general for all participating organizations.
