Many regions targeted by GEOSS still have limited access to Internet The GCI is a Web framework How to access the GCI in regions having limited Internet connection ?
GEONETCast .. a near real time, global network of satellite-based data dissemination systems providing environmental data to a world-wide user community http://www.eumetsat.int/Home/Main/DataAccess/EUMETCast/SP_20100519114624675?l=en
GEONETCast Infrastructure • Satellite-based regional dissemination system — based upon Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) technology • GEONETCast Broadcast Streams • EUMETCast • Europe, Africa and the Americas • Established in 2004 • More than 2,000 registered reception stations • More than 1,600 users • CMACast (China Meteorological Administration’s contribution) • Utilises the AsiaSat 4 satellite beam to broadcast data and products to a user community in the Asia Pacific region. • GEONETCast-Americas • Broadcast covering the Americas, managed by NOAA GEONETCastis a milestone in GEOSS
GEONETCast interconnection to GEO-DAB/GCI • Entry point Transfer Protocol

General Approach OAI-PMH • EUMETSAT Data Server uses the GEO-DAB harvestinginterface to download all the available GCI (metadata) records • GEONETCastsatellitesbroadcasts the harvested GCI to GEONETCastusers • Users Data Server updatesthe local DB withthe received (broadcasted) content • Users discovers and evaluates the local DB content using an adapted (offline desktop) version of the EuroGEOSSGEO-DAB client DVB XDB GI-NETCast
Harvesting and broadcasting requirements GCI records are not static, GEONETCast user DBs MUST be updated (near real time) Satellite traffic MUST be reduced as much as possible, GCI provides millions of entries Satellite throughput is limited, large files MUST be avoided «selective harvesting» : to harvest only the portion of records most recently updated GEO-DAB alreadysupportsthistechnology(i.e. OAIPMH 2.0 standard) Harvested records are stored in a structured file system that can be transmitted via satellite (no large files)
GI-NETCast requirements Good performances on lowcostPCs A specificindexing mechanism guarantees good query performance saving hardware resources Portability on differentoperating systems and hardware Use of Java Virtual Machine as a cross-platform computing environment Provide (atleast) the basic discovery features (i.e. search by keywords, area and temporal period) via a user friendly GUI Build on the GEODAB core technology, providing accurated discovery features accessible through a usable, user friendly GUI
Future work • Interoperability test is the basis for one of the Showcases that will be proposed for the Ministerial • providing the basis for access and use of GEO data and serves in countries with limited internet access • Interoperability test with the 52N GEONETCast Toolbox Software.
