  3. Background • Data Democracy was initiated in 2008 • End to End process, aiming to strengthen the EO data utilization cycle by • broadening data in-and situ data/information access • increasing data dissemination capabilities • sharing software tools, and • transferring the technologies • To end users, especially in developing countries • CEOS continues to support this project (2008-present) • Under purview of CEOS Troika • In 2009, approved as a GEO task in 2009-2010 GEO Work Plan • CB-09-05e: Infrastructure Development and Technology Transfer for Information Access -Data Democracy, led by CEOS • Part of GEO Ministerial CBC Showcase

  4. Data Management • USGS Perspectives on the CEOS Data Democracy Initiative • Which technology should we apply such that • the utility of common storage • hosting facilities, and • super computing facilities can be possible • Mirror site are not applied in this project

Data Democracy Portal • Need one place where users can easily access to those products given by CEOS community • Put all accumulated products in one place • By using a search engine which can initially extract product’ s keywords, thus, users could find data/ documents/ software that they really look for • No actual images contain in a server but the linkage which guides users to the actual product location • CEOS members could update the list of products at anytime when they have a new product comes to the program • Troika closely works with SEO
