Recommendations to WGISS –Applications Subgroup Karen Moe WGISS Applications Subgroup Chair WGISS-28 Pretoria, South Africa 2 October 2009
WGISS Architecture & Data Contributions (WADC) • WGISS will lead DA-09-01b Data, Metadata and Products Harmonization Project through WADC • Develop and implement a CEOS WGISS Integrated Catalog (CWIC) prototype for search and discover of CEOS satellite holdings • WGISS recommendations for discovery and search to include • Use of CEOS IDN, WGISS inventory search metadata criteria (based on ISO 19115 and elements of CIP 2.4) • Search strategies and portal recommendations to be developed • WGISS recommendations will be propagated via DA-09-01b • Host GEO Workshop Nov. 11-12 in Washington DC • WGISS will work with Virtual Constellations and GEOSS SBA on developing portals based on CWIC experience • WGISS team to work with Ivan Petiteville, CEOS liaison to GEO, to report to GEO ADC, and share ADC meeting highlights with WGISS
WGISS Disaster Response IG • Recommendations for WGISS contributions to the International Charter (Gouqing Li) • Collaborate with Disaster SBA in CEOS plenary and UN-SPIDER workshop • WGISS to help clarify methodology, especially who will be in charge of the value-added processing in the Charter workflow • CEOS WGISS, Charter, Disaster SBA and UNOOSA collaborate to improve the mechanism of inter-agency cooperation • Recommend that WGISS-29, hosted by UN-SPIDER, include a disaster management ‘workshop’ to explore information systems and services needs for disaster response
Recommended Changes to Clarify Scope of WGISS Disaster Response Activities
Proposed Data Management IG • Agreement on Proposed Scope of Data Management IG: • Data, meta-data and product topics • Concerning data content, metadata content, data formats, data preservation (archiving) • The functionality of tools and data services from user perspective, not technical • Data and meta-data format and exchange standards and guidelines • Common best practices for storing and exchanging data and meta-data • Currently insufficient interest/time to lead this IG • Recommend to table proposal until WGISS-29 and test interest again
Global Datasets IG • In response to DA-09-03d Global DEM datasets recommendations to WGISS • Develop plan for Data Quality Web Server (DQW) for Global DEM in cooperation with WGCV and relevant data providers • Data harmonization aspects to be coordinated with WADC • Present to WGISS-29 • Global Dataset development • Maintain awareness of on-going global data set issue • Consider ways to support new CODATA Global Roads initiative with EO data and processes
Data Integration &Analysis System (DIAS) • Recommend new CEOP for “Coordinated Energy and water cycle Observations Project” leveraging WTF-CEOP • Propose to develop Water Community of Practice Portal • Develop plan and present to WGISS-29 • JAXA Lead, Prof Koike represents the user community • Leverage WTF-CEOP and identify additional data/datasets and services • Seek collaborating Agencies with services/tools and data/datasets • DIAS (DA-09-02a) and Data, Metadata & Products Harmonization Project (DMPH, DA-09-02b) joint GEO Workshop Nov 11-12, Washington DC
IDN IG • CL-06-02_14 Climate Diagnostic Portal <http://idn.ceos.org/CD> • Recommend Mitch Goldberg to demo to CEOS Plenary and GEO Plenary, both in November 2009 • IDN and GEOSS Registry – how to resolve GCI request for sharing? • IDN identified issue of accurate and secure web services; request IDN insights be provided to the WGISS Security white paper
Land Surface Imaging IG • Recommendations for LSI Portal • Explore the feasibility of adding higher resolution data to the available sample data collection. • Foster expansion of LSI user community by cross linking the LSI Portal to other domain-related web portals such as the Forest Carbon Tracking initiative • Solicit member partners for the development of a granulate-level data search and access prototype • Collaborate with WADC on development of any LSI prototypes adhering where appropriate to developing metadata conventions being developed by WADC • With WGCV, develop plan for including data quality information for LSI-related data and information products (QA4EO)
Atmospheric Composition IG • GEO AR-09-02a_30 AC Portal – built and demonstrated initial demonstrable capability based on DLR WDC-RSAT and NASA tools • Provide feedback and consult with WADC on GCI • Work through WGISS Chair to involve other CEOS agencies in providing additional datasets and tools • AC Portal demonstration • Plan demo to CEOS Plenary Nov. 2009, feature Thailand • Plan demo to GEO Plenary in November 2010, feature DC • Potential Health application project in 2010
WGISS – PC Liaison • WGISS does not have a dedicated person to address unique Precipitation Constellation data processing and data use issues • Recommend WGISS liaison role be addressed by WGISS coordination with PC/GDaWG prior to and after meetings • Satoko will coordinate with the JAXA members of PC and GDaWG • Frank will coordinate with the NASA members of PC and GDaWG (primarily Erich Stocker) • Satoko and Frank will identify any PC actions needed by WGISS for discussion at WGISS meetings • Upcoming PC events to track • Precipitation Measurement Mission (PMM) week of October 26 • Next GDaWG May or June 2010
Health SBA and WGISS • 3 Candidate WGISS Health Applications identified • IDN Health Services Portal • AC Portal applications • Flood Monitoring (Grid and Sensor Web) applications • Recommend WGISS presentation at GEOSS Health Workshop Nov. 12-13, 2009 in Washington DC • Karen and Dan will contact workshop host (Jay Pearlman/IEEE) to get WGISS on the agenda and determine roles in pilot implementations • If not successful (again) recommend tabling WGISS role in Health GEO tasks, although individual applications may pursue the Health SBA
WGISS Demonstrations 2009 • Demo to CEOS Plenary, early Nov 2009, Thailand (T) and GEO Plenary, mid Nov 2009, Washington DC (W) • AC Portal (T) (W) • IDN Climate Diagnostic Portal (T) (W) • LSI Portal – not this year • Flood Grid/Sensor Web Demo movie (T) (W)
