AIP Reusable Process for SBA Integrators

• Scenarios: end user view of the value of GEOSS – Focused on topics of interest to a community – Occur in a geographic Area of Interest (AOI) – Steps in a scenario are mapped to Use Cases

• Engineering Use Cases support SBA Scenarios– Use cases for discovery, data access, etc– Utilize Standards & Interoperability Arrangements

• Reusable service oriented architecture – Leverages ‘operational domain value’ through

interoperable services

Architecture Progress and AIP-3 Results

• Bold vision endorsed 5 years ago

• Architecture vision has now been demonstrated

• Ministers should invest in their agency’s developments consistent with GEOSS plan

http://www.ogcnetwork.net/geoss/aip-3/

Discussion of Progress made in AIP-3

• Role of SBA Integrator• Add ontology registry to GCI; mediators for searching• Geo-processing using WPS• Data Brokers for hosting data as web services• Improving Data Quality: QA4EO and UncertML

GEOSS AIP Phase 4 (AIP-4)

• SBAs: Increasing implementation of GEOSS with CoPs• Data: Foster access to EO Priority Observations

consistent with Data-CORE and Interoperability Arrangements.

• GCI: contribute to improving usability

Community of Interest:Birds of a feather, discussion group

Communities of Practices in AIP-4:-Integrated Global Water Cycle Obs.-Energy-Air Quality-Biodiversity-Global Agricultural Monitoring?-Geohazards?

SBA/CoP Integrator-Lead AIP CoP WG-Liaison from AIP to CoP-Expert in SBA science and geoinformatics-Lead application of GEOSS architecture to CoP

CoPs supported by AIP

• Objective: Work with CoPs to increase network building and data sharing

• Role of the SBA Integrator– Builds network through Community Portal, using CoP toolkit

and other information and services to meet the needs of the community

– Build on the best practices and interoperability arrangements.

• CoP Toolkit– Community Portals and Application Clients for DSS needs– Community Catalogues– Priority Data Servers for SBA

SBAs for AIP-4

• Established– Disaster

Management– Energy– Health: Air Quality– Water Drought– Arctic SDI– Biodiversity and

Climate Change

• New in AIP-4– Agriculture– Climate/Weather

Data Harmonization in AIP-4 (Herve updates)

• Uncertainty – GeoViqua, UncertWeb• QA4EO - CEOS• Data Schemas – INSPIRE

– Test Facility for validating schemas

AIP-4 Data Sharing (Steve Browdy w/ DSTF)

• User Management– User registration, identity: OpenID, etc.– User login: GCI and Data provider impact– Metrics collection

• Data Access Conditions– Data Access Conditions:

• Non-Commercial Use• Attribution• Other restrictions/conditions not handled• Data provider change to metadata• Machine-to-machine processing

– Disclaimers• Let a user know when they are leaving GEO site

Semantic Mediation (Cristiano, Nagai)

• Coordination with GEO task AR-09-01d on semantic mediation issues

• Support to the optimization and extension of the GI-DAC service broker

• Integration and harmonization of thematic thesauri with reference ones:• Water Ontology from AIP-3• Drought Vocabulary from EuroGEOSS• GLOWASIS (GMES project)• More contributions are welcome…

EC FP7 Projects Participating in AIP

• Current in AIP-3– EnerGEO– EO2Heaven, – EuroGEOSS, – GENESIS– GIGAS– GIS4EU – SAFER – UncertWEB

AIP-4: Energy

• AIP-2 & AIP-3 established capacity to disseminate Energy and Environment related Web Services

• Focus for AIP-4:– Provide end-user with Quality and Uncertainties

parameters – framework for building Graphical User Interface for

remote Web Services (WMS, WFS and WPS) in operational services such as SoDa

– Collaboration with GCI to ensure consistent dissemination and presentation of Energy and Environment data sets on the GEO Portal

Health: Air Quality (Stefan/NGC, EO2Heaven)

• Durban Scenario from EO2Heaven, ground sensors and remote sensors.

Climate/Weather SBA

• CSIR South Africa has volunteered to lead the Climate/Weather SBA thread - though more weather, less climate in a very much Sensor Web like fashion, i.e. weather as SBA and technical focus on Sensor Web aspects, such as SWE profiles for weather.

• CSIR will bring a number of services to AIP-4 in terms of weather and are interested in building something bigger.

– sensor services serving weather station data (hosted by the South African Agricultural Research Council (ARC)), and the South African coastal ocean data (hosted by the CSIR) with a view to building a CoP for (global) Weather data.

Drought Early Warning requires assembly within an information system (GEOSS) the uses of water, so that drought vulnerability can be assessed or included

Soil Moisture in the European Union Europe Drought Observatory: agricultural impact (http://edo.jrc.ec.europa.eu/php/index.php?action=view&id=19)

Agricultural use, cooling water for power generation, domestic use, environmental flow requirement for ecosystems

Agriculture-Crop Condition Monitoring (Liping Di)• Crop condition information is critical to

decision making in both public and private sectors that concern agricultural policy, production, food security, and food prices.

• Crop conditions change quickly due to changes of various growing conditions, such as temperature, soil moisture, fertilization, or disease, etc.

– Timely and repeat monitoring with a full spatial coverage and sufficient spatial resolution throughout the growing season is necessary.

• Satellite remote sensing provides the best method to monitor crop condition globally.

– Conditions are measured by comparing the current vegetation indices derived from remote sensing to multiple-year statistics of the indices (e.g., Mean, Maximum, Minimum, Medium, etc).

– Multiple nations and organizations are monitoring the crop conditions.

– Standardizing the condition measures and serving the measures to global users under GEOSS framework will be meaningful
