High-level Project Information GEO Ministerial 2013: ‘Revised' architecture properly tested and demonstrated within GEOWOW SBA's January 2013 April 2014 August 2012 June 2014
Objectives • To allow an easy and harmonised access to heterogeneous resources • To develop services for data discovery, access, and use establishing and promoting data sharing • Facilitate geo-resources sharing • Facilitate geo-resources access • Contribute to GCI enhancement • Develop GCI operational capabilities for the project’s SBAs

Towards a GEOWOW vision
Communitiesin GEO-GEOSS MultidisciplinaryScientists / Decision Makers Domain specific scientists Data Scientists Data Providers Geo Web Portal Community portals Specialised toolkits Data Centers Observations Products Information Today, the GCI (GEOSS Common Infrastructure) is designed to support only a limited number of user typologies.
Requirements • Initial set of user communities and multidisciplinary requirements identified by the GEOWOW partners: • MULTIDISCIPLINARY REQUIREMENTS • REQUIREMENTS FROM SBAs • Requirements from external sources, like projects and Architecture Implementation Pilot (AIP) processes
Towards a GEOWOW vision • A long-term vision for the GCI evolution, in agreement with the IIB. • This will include not only components developed by GEOWOW itself, but also external elements.
Priority functionalities • Improved data discovery including results ranking; • Easier data access; • Interface of GCI components from external clients, including two ways communication; • Improved data usability, including harmonization and geoprocessing services; • New data registration mechanisms, including support for the GEOSS Data CORE • Solutions and tools for user registration authorization authentication including single sign-on.
Landscape • GEOWOW has analysed important key technologies, establishing a pool of solutions and ideas • A preliminary analysis has been conducted to map identified requirements to analysed projects (EuroGEOSS, UncertWeb, GENESI-DEC, GeoViQua, Eye on Earth and the current GEOSS Common Infrastructure, …)
Architectureflexibility • The landscape of technologies is in continuous evolution architecture flexibility is a key requirement. • The design of the GEOWOW Architecture shall therefore follow a modular approach. It shall result in a set of “GCI Evolutions”, i.e. interoperable components that respond to the community needs and are able to fit into the existing landscape, however rapidly this is evolving.
Usage patterns • The proposed architecture will result as flexible as possible and different communities will benefit from it in different manners, according to their needs and their usual working habits.

An example of use case Query of heterogeneous observations, products, information Semantic enriched search Just an example of use case from several usage patterns that will be possible according to user needs Satellite data In- Situ data Tools for geoprocessing Interferograms computed from satellite data (either on demand computation or discovery of previously generated products) Registration of results
Preliminary identified components • Components for Enhancing Data Discovery and Access including: • Result Ranking; • Semanticenriched search; • Geoprocessing components; • User registration components and tools for authentication (user personal information will not be registered at GEOWOW side); • Resources Registration facilitators to improve the GEOSS Data CORE availability; • Components for enabling community specific clients to access GEOSS resources.
In a nutshell: seamless discovery and access to… satellite data metadata airborne data documentation in-situ data processing services maps models …for all the identified GEOSS users according to different usage patterns… … with special focus on GEOSS Data CORE
