The questions
What are the products?
What are the applications?
Who are the users?
How do we define the requirements for the products (spacial, temporal, etc.)?
How do we meld these with the geometric reference frame?
What measurements are required?

(1) Worldwide set of AG instruments realise the standard
(2) Combination with SG realise a continuous timely coverage (permanent observations)
(3) Network of gravity stations establishes the link between gravity and geometric positions
(4) Availability of world-wide AG / SG observations leads to a new importance and use of the data (GGOS requirement)
