GEO 2014 Work Plan SymposiumOpening RemarksBarbara J. RyanDirector, GEO SecretariatGeneva, Switzerland28 April 2014
Created in 2005, to develop a coordinated and sustained Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) to enhance decision making in nine Societal Benefit Areas (SBAs) GEO today: 90 Members 77 Participating Organizations
A broad Commercial Sector spans the entire information value chain Data providers Value-Added providers Downstream users
Ministerial Guidance • Continue improving Earth observations worldwide • Urge the adoption and implementation of data sharing principles globally • Advance the GEOSS information system • Develop a comprehensive interdisciplinaryknowledge base • Cultivate global initiatives
Enabling a System of Systems GEOSSPortal GEOHome Page GEODiscovery & Access Broker GEODAB
Current Assets About 20 brokered data providers – capacities, systems, communities .. . Publish More than 7 Million (1.2 Million GEOSS Data Core) Discoverable and potentially accessible resources (mix of data collections, datasets and individual images) .. . .. . Contain More than 65 Million (50 Million GEOSS Data Core) Discoverable and potentially accessible granules (e.g. satellite scene, raingauge record) Resources

Summary • Broad open data policies/practices essential for publically funded collections & must be strengthened • Economic value in downstream elements – value-added products and services • Broaden stakeholder engagement needed, including the private sector • Strengthen policy linkages/mandates • National, Regional and International collaboration is essential
