2. Expert Team on WIS GISCs and DCPCs (ET-WISC) • Co-chair on WIS GISCs: Heinrich Knottenberg • Co-chair on WIS DCPCs: Al Kellie • Terms Of Reference • Develop technical and operational specifications for the different components of the WIS GISCs • Develop technical and operational specifications for the different components of the WIS DCPCs • Develop criteria for interoperability and certification for actual implementation • Coordinate related pilot projects. ICT-ISS

3. WIS Development 2005 • Coordination Meetings 2005 • ET-WISC (10th-14th Oct 2005; Geneva) • ICG-WIS (24th-27th Oct 2005; Boulder) ICT-ISS

4. ICG-WIS: WIS Development Plan 2006 (I) • Prototype for CBS TECO on WIS (Nov 2006): GISC-Functions • VGISC Portal (incl. authentication and [simple] authorisation) • Access to Metadata catalogue for • data discovery • viewing/modifying (authorisation required) of dissemination control information • Metadata import and export interfaces (WMO Metadata Standard) • Metadata harvesting from sample DCPCs (incl. Metadata translation [e.g. via OAI mechanisms] if applied by a DCPC) • Data retrieval from the VGISC real-time database and the internal DCPCs and request forwarding to sample DCPCs • Demonstration of GTS data acquisition/dissemination with sample NCs • Access to monitoring information ICT-ISS

5. ICG-WIS: WIS Development Plan 2006 (II) • GISC-Cookbook: Requirements to be fulfilled for participation as WIS DCPC of existing data-collection or products centres • Register as a DCPC with WMO; • Provide capability to deliver discovery-level metadata in standard XML in accordance with WMO Core Profile (for those datasets whose existence you are willing to make globally known); • Provide capability/interface for automatic harvesting of metadata (in WIS standard XML); • (Note: ICG-WIS & ET-WISC must define WIS protocol, access policies/control, synchronisation, etc.) • Provide access to data through an on-line interface (via agreed protocols); • Strive to provide data in at least one of several standard formats – or provide decoding software. ICT-ISS

6. ICG-WIS: WIS Development Plan 2006 (III) • Reference implementation WMO Core Profile version of metadata by 1Q06; • Integration of metadata structures into pilot GISCs and DCPCs by 3Q06; • Internet portal in 1Q06; • Basic data acquisition using metadata by 2Q06; • Data discovery service by 3Q06; • Agreement on specification of data access rights by relevant CBS Expert Teams in 2Q06; • Data distribution service: • push in 2Q06 • pull in 4Q06; • Exchange of monitoring information in agreed format by 3Q06.
