9. GEOSS Engineering Architecture

10. GEOSS Architecture Initial Operating Capability (IOC) established 64 Components & 75 Services registered (21 Nov 07) GEO Web Portals (3), Community Portals (27) and Decision Support Clients (13) for User access to services Several organizations capable of providing –GEO Web Portal solutions –GEOSS Clearinghouse solutions

11. GEO Web Portal Demonstrated that organizations are capable of providing workable GEO Web Portal solutions –Compusult: http://www.geowebportal.orghttp://www.geowebportal.org –ESA-FAO: http://www.geoportal.orghttp://www.geoportal.org –ESRI: http://keel.esri.com/Portalhttp://keel.esri.com/Portal Though visibly similar & meeting basic requirements, the three offer different feature sets. Cape Town Declaration: “We commit to explore ways and means for the sustained operations of the shared architectural GEOSS components and related information infrastructure.”

12. GEOSS Architecture - Further Development Increase collaboration with GEO Committees, Communities of Practice and relevant GEO Tasks. Increase commitment to Operational requirements to support persistence – Portal, Clearinghouse and other services Add Sensor Component Types –Task, acquire and process observations –Inter-calibration scenario, e.g., CEOS Workflow for observation processing and decision support, e.g., Fed Earth Observation (FedEO) pilot

13. AR-07-02 Task Definition Task Sheet slightly revised at ADC-5, September 2007 Architecture Implementation Pilot emphasis retained: Portals, Clearinghouse, Catalogues, and Services –Including sensors interoperability services Two items added –Persistent Infrastructure for Service Integration –GEOSS User and Architecture Workshops

14. GEO Architecture Workshop February 4&5, 2008 –Co-located at JRC Ispra with ADC-6 Purpose: Consensus building in support of CFP Topics –Scenario candidates: interactions with UIC & CoP re scenarios –Begin refinement of the CFP-2007 architecture –Sustained operations for information architecture –Other Implementation Report topics

20. A typical Proceedings includes Workshop Flyer Description Agenda Briefings Breakout Session Reports Conclusions IEEE GEOSS Workshop The User and the GEOSS Architecture XIV - Organized by: Dr. Changyong Cao - NOAA/NESDIS, Washington DC Prof. Al Gasiewski – University of Colorado, Boulder, CO Dr. Siri Jodha Singh Khalsa – University of Colorado NSIDC, Boulder, CO Dr. Jay Pearlman – The Boeing Corporation Mr. Ivan Petiteville – ESA Opening GEOSS Architecture & Interoperability User Perspective (Societal Benefit focus) Demonstrations Break-out Sessions Summary Selected briefings Are recorded and Available on the ICEO Site under Resources (Audio & slide lectures) Demonstrations material And video clips are uploaded To the OGC Web site

21. Breakout Sessions – User/Developer’s Perspective Sample Questions –What is a user? –What are the needs and concerns for GEOSS from a user perspective? –What are the most important information from GEOSS for user applications? –If the architecture is developed over a number of years, what features should be developed early? – What features are missing that you would like to see included

22. Breakout Sessions – Summary Findings I A spectrum of Users –End Users (Top level Decision/policy makers, managers) in need of user friendly information –Researchers more focused on source and quality of data –Accommodate different needs & level of expertise Users versus Providers –Encourage connectivity between the two and between models and data providers –Iterative, interactive feedback from users & ability to correct errors Models –Need for interoperable cross-domain models –Improved connection between modeling and observation communities

23. Breakout Sessions – Summary findings II Emphasis on Data Key data characteristics –Discovery, accessibility, distribution, visualization/layering, sharing Data packaging –Clear documentation – especially when cutting across benefit areas –Standards –Meta-data Frequently mentioned concerns –Timeliness (from real time to paleo-data) –Security/authentication (access to proprietary data...) –Quality (Trusted source; Quality Assurance and Control; Data lineage) –Continuity of data source –Compatibility –Sharing policies Data distribution mechanism –Internet vs mobile access (including ad-hoc networking) –Feedback mechanism

24. Breakout Sessions – Summary Findings III SoS Architecture key desired characteristics –Offer simple, seamless services –Supports high availability, reliability, security, authentication –Facilitate interoperability –Allows for technology evolution & new technology insertion Thoughts on interoperability Focus on connecting systems within a community Interfaces are abstracted in “wrappers” developed cooperatively by Providers & Users Include ontology in Interoperability registry Build a little, test a little: demonstrations, prototypes and pilots are essential

25. Demos and Pilots Demonstration of the core architecture –Service registration and discovery process –Application of the architecture to eight societal benefit scenarios –use of the portal candidates Screencast videos of the demonstrations are available on-line: http://www.ogcnetwork.net/AIPdemos http://www.ogcnetwork.net/AIPdemos Demo team in Yellowknife, Canada
