9. Architecture Implementation Pilot (CFP) Pilot for GEO Web Portal, GEOSS Clearinghouse and Services

10. The proposed idea of GEO Web Portal by Secretariat Disaster Health Energy Climate Water Weather Ecosystem Agriculture Biodiversity Direct Access To Data & Services Capacity Building GEONETCast About GEO Search by location Search by theme A Portal to DATA and SERVICES

11. Current Status of GEOSS Architecture GEOSS Processes have been established –component registration process, process for reaching GEOSS interoperability, component linking guideline –Strategic and Tactical guidance documents would be essential but still in drafting Requirement driven ? –Engineering view point Focus on the process –Where is the requirement? 10 Year Implementation Plan + Reference Document UIC Community of Practice, = subset of 10YIP, Reference Document? –Tactical guidance + Roadmap should be established based on the requirement –Test cases and scenarios would be useful

12. GEOSS IP Targets - Water 2006-20072008-20112012-2015 In-situ observation Integration Product Model User IF Improve existing in-situ sys Test global net of integrated in-situ sites Test a fully integrated prototype data system with assimilation, analysis & visualisation Make integrated in-situ obs site operational Operational integrated data system Space-based observation Study capabilities for: - surface water quality - streamflow and water storage (altimeters) Integrated info on climate indices/ extreme events Implementation plan for data integration system Plan integrated in-situ network 3 hourly global precipitation Integrated precip. and soil moisture products (IGOS-P) Intl coord. mechanisms GPM & Missions for surface & subsurface water stores Plan water quality monitoring System for monitoring WC changes Data and info on water quantity and quality to protoype expert decision support sys Collaborative mechanism between obs and research community Framework for ensemble hydro prediction Gravity mission for ground water stores New products for precipitation, soil moisture, evaporation and evapotranspiration Integrated water cycle data sets Water level data collection sys PlanningPrototypingOperational Routine watershed health indicators How to look the real world? - Monitor by using the GEOSS Roadmap -

13. Global/Regional/National, Programs dimension Global: example components are WIS, FDSN, GBIF, Argo Regional: example components are HMA, Sentinel Asia National: many… Enhanced Observing Programs: CEOP, IPY, … We may need to classify these components one by one?

14. How to look the real world? How each organization to cover the GEOSS Architecture. For example, CEOS world as one of Participating Organizations Satellite Observing Systems Data Archive Data Center/Information System Web Portal/Clearinghouse NASAESAJAXAUSGSCNESNOAAetc CEOS/WGISS CEOS/WGCV CEOS/SIT Capacity Building By CEOS/WGEdu GEONETCast/Uplink Center EUMETSATESA

15. In-situ Network How to look the real world? How each organization to cover the GEOSS Architecture. For example, EEA and UNEP, as a Participating Organization for In-situ network. Satellite Observing Systems Data Archive Data Center/Information System Web Portal/Clearinghouse Capacity Building By EEA, UNEP GEONETCast/Uplink Center EEA, UNEP

16. In-situ Network How to look the real world? How each organization to cover the GEOSS Architecture. For example, EC, as a Member. Satellite Observing Systems Data Archive Data Center/Information System Web Portal/Clearinghouse Capacity Building By FP GEONETCast/Uplink Center GMES, FP

17. In-situ Network How to look the real world? How each organization to cover the GEOSS Architecture. For example, China, as a Member. Satellite Observing Systems Data Archive Data Center/Information System Web Portal/Clearinghouse Capacity Building By National Program? GEONETCast/Uplink Center

18. Way-forward Near term: for the Ministerial Summit in November –GEO Web Portal and GEOSS Clearinghouse –Interoperable Information Systems Registration process should start soon What to show? Registries? + Use Cases? (discussed in ADC) How to show? Through GEO Web Portal? (discussed in Outreach team) Long term: –Establish and refine the Strategic and Tactical Guidance documents –Refine the processes (component registration, etc) –Establish the sustainability of the Registry operation by the GEO Secretariat and monitoring the status –System of Systems approach would be needed –Currently Architecture has only two years targets. It would be necessary the 6 and 10 years targets.
