  1. Building GEOSSTrying to communicate the vision and a coherent work plan

  2. Infrastructure Spatial + in situ instrumentation Architecture + Data management + Data portals Software + tools Instutional system Networking National GEOs Regional GEOs GFOI, GEO Africa Human capital Experience + qualification Informal + formal Develop talents GEOSS Deliverables, Products, models Information for decision-making

  3. Instutional system Networking National GEOs Regional GEOs GFOI, GEO Africa, GIS Africa, GAMI… Human capital Experience + qualification Informal + formal Develop talents GEOSS The horizontal dimension is key for developing countries

  4. Infrastructure Spatial + in situ instrumentation Architecture + Data management + Data portals Software + tools GEOSS Deliverables, Products, models Information for decision-making The vertical dimension is also vital to everyone

  5. How could one just imagine earth observations as it stands nowadays without RS satellites ? GEOSS What would be the added value of GEOSS without informed decision-making?

  6. Human capital • For developing countries the horizontal dimension plays the most important role; • empower human capacity • understand needs and requirements • continuous training and exchanging of experience with stable/advanced institutions (networking), access to resources, • serving the decision-making process • All the building blocks should aim at developing human capital – HC (CBC+R&D+UIC) + Infra + IC

  7. Institutional capital • building and maintaining institutional capacity is imperative; • sustainability and leveraging of funds, good management practices, commitment to sustain institutions • networking at national, regional and global levels • All the building blocks should aim at developing institutional capital: IC + CBC + ADC+ R&D + UIC

  8. The infrastructure • Sustain and develop space-based in in situ data acquisition systems and networks, develop and implement data sharing, data transfer facilities, databases and data management systems • Require commitments from state members owning engines and data to share • Require building capacity in the user end • All the building blocks should aim at developing infrastructure – ADC + HC (CB+R&D+UIC)+ IC.

  9. inform realizing the vision share observe essential for building GEOSS

  10. The deliverables Informed decisions in all SBAs are the added value. They are the “final deliverables” of GEOSS. The building blocks must focus on the deliverables for structuring the work plan.

  11. Ecosystems Energy Agriculture Climate Natural Hazards Health

  12. The chalenge • Real understanding across the GEO community of the vision of an integrated System of Systems, where all the components require building capacity. • Structure the work plan with the focus on the deliverables of GEOSS

  13. Infrastructure Spatial + in situ instrumentation Architecture + Data management + Data portals Software + tools Instutional system Networking National GEOs Regional GEOs GFOI, GEO Africa Human capital Experience + qualification Informal + formal Develop talents GEOSS Deliverables, Products, models Information for decision-making

  14. Could we structure the WP following these 4 components logic? • HC “block” - based on users needs tasks on training on good practices with EO data, R&D on the development of tools and models for decision-making • Architecture “block” – tasks on data availability but also on empowering people and institutions (the end users), user requirements and R&D components

  15. IC “block” – tasks on networking and building and/or sustaining national and regional GEO capacities (ex. GFOI, Africa GIS, Africa GEO, GAMI…) • The deliverables “block” should care about the GEOSS vision, i.e., find a management strategy to make sure observation and sharing is accomplished, and tools and models are available and used for decision-making.

  16. Three Phases of Globalization From 1492 (Colombo) to 1800  new world, imperialism, physical strength 2. 1800 to 2000 -> big international corporations, industrial revolution, transport Infrastructure, communications 3. From 2000 – networks, online collaboration, more and more agents
