Make priority data fully available as services Sbageotask.larc.nasa.gov GEOSS CORE-Priority EO Parameter Access Services US-09-01a Critical Earth Observation Priorities Highest Ranked EO Parameters Priority EO Parameters available as CORE Compare the 2 lists AIP-4 Access Services Pilot No cost recovery in AIP-4 DSTF GEOSS Data-CORE Roadmap Datasets tagged as CORE (Pledge List) DIAS connection to this emphasis? GTHN – Global terrestrial Hydro Network CORE = full and open with no restrictions. No data reuse conditions. There may be cost and attribution requirements.

18. Data Harmonization in AIP-4 (Herve updates) • Uncertainty – GeoViqua, UncertWeb • QA4EO - CEOS • Data Schemas – INSPIRE • Test Facility for validating schemas GEOSS SoA Information Viewpoint

19. AIP-4 Data Sharing (Steve Browdy w/ DSTF) • User Management • User registration, identity: OpenID, etc. • User login: GCI and Data provider impact • Metrics collection • Data Access Conditions • Data Access Conditions: • Non-Commercial Use • Attribution • Other restrictions/conditions not handled • Data provider change to metadata • Machine-to-machine processing • Disclaimers • Let a user know when they are leaving GEO site

20. Semantic Mediation (Cristiano, Nagai) • Coordination with GEO task AR-09-01d on semantic mediation issues • Support to the optimization and extension of the GI-DAC service broker • Integration and harmonization of thematic thesauri with reference ones: • Water Ontology from AIP-3 • Drought Vocabulary from EuroGEOSS • GLOWASIS (GMES project) • More contributions are welcome…

21. EC FP7 Projects Participating in AIP • Current in AIP-3 • EnerGEO • EO2Heaven, • EuroGEOSS, • GENESIS • GIGAS • GIS4EU • SAFER • UncertWEB • New contributions possible: • ISTIMES - DM • DEWFORA- Drought • ENDORSE: Energy Services for GMES • GeoViQua • GLOWASIS - Water • (Current GCI call)

23. AIP-4: Disaster Management • The features of decision making in response phase • unpredictable • semi-structured to unstructured • transnational Cloud Computing Infrastructure Resources Geo Portal Services Registration Search Access Execute Access Interact with Services Standard Services (Hadoop-based) Clients Encapsulating WPS (OGC-compliant ) Cloud/Grid computing will be a good solution to support the semi structured to unstructured decision making at a specific service level GEOSS SoA Enterprise Viewpoint

24. AIP-4: Energy • AIP-2 & AIP-3 established capacity to disseminate Energy and Environment related Web Services • Focus for AIP-4: • Provide end-user with Quality and Uncertainties parameters • framework for building Graphical User Interface for remote Web Services (WMS, WFS and WPS) in operational services such as SoDa • Collaboration with GCI to ensure consistent dissemination and presentation of Energy and Environment data sets on the GEO Portal

25. Health: Air Quality (Stefan/NGC, EO2Heaven) • Durban Scenario from EO2Heaven, ground sensors and remote sensors. GEOSS SoA Enterprise Viewpoint

26. Climate/Weather SBA • CSIR South Africa has volunteered to lead the Climate/Weather SBA thread - though more weather, less climate in a very much Sensor Web like fashion, i.e. weather as SBA and technical focus on Sensor Web aspects, such as SWE profiles for weather. • CSIR will bring a number of services to AIP-4 in terms of weather and are interested in building something bigger. • sensor services serving weather station data (hosted by the South African Agricultural Research Council (ARC)), and the South African coastal ocean data (hosted by the CSIR) with a view to building a CoP for (global) Weather data.

30. Drought Early Warning requires assembly within an information system (GEOSS) the uses of water, so that drought vulnerability can be assessed or included Agricultural use, cooling water for power generation, domestic use, environmental flow requirement for ecosystems Soil Moisture in the European Union Europe Drought Observatory: agricultural impact (http://edo.jrc.ec.europa.eu/php/index.php?action=view&id=19)

31. Agriculture-Crop Condition Monitoring (Liping Di) • Crop condition information is critical to decision making in both public and private sectors that concern agricultural policy, production, food security, and food prices. • Crop conditions change quickly due to changes of various growing conditions, such as temperature, soil moisture, fertilization, or disease, etc. • Timely and repeat monitoring with a full spatial coverage and sufficient spatial resolution throughout the growing season is necessary. • Satellite remote sensing provides the best method to monitor crop condition globally. • Conditions are measured by comparing the current vegetation indices derived from remote sensing to multiple-year statistics of the indices (e.g., Mean, Maximum, Minimum, Medium, etc). • Multiple nations and organizations are monitoring the crop conditions. • Standardizing the condition measures and serving the measures to global users under GEOSS framework will be meaningful • Participants: GMU, USDA NASS, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Science..

32. Biodiversity and Climate Change (CNR and USGS) • Continue the collaboration with EC-JRC (G. Dubois) Digital Observatory of Protected Areas (DOPA) enhancing the AIP-3 eHabitat Pilot • Continue the collaboration with NASA JPL (G.
