  3. Purpose/Membership of Team • Develop a paper entitled “GEOSS Recommendations for Community Portals” • Originated as a action from GEO Sprint to the Summit • Need reinforced at the recent GEOSS Vision and Architecture Meeting at ESA/ESRIN • Recommendations to build upon AIP and other experience • Team members drawn from those who have expressed interest in the topic or their nominees • Team has architects/engineers associated with the development of the GCI, AIP participants and representatives from GEOSS user communities

  4. Team Members

  5. Initial Ideas on Purpose of Paper • To express an understanding of the general needs of the user communities that are developing portals to GEOSS services • To explain the way the GCI can address those needs • To instruct and assist portal developers in utilizing the GCI components • To engage the various user communities in sustaining and enhancing GEOSS capabilities • To leverage community resources of the GEOSS Information System in addressing access, processing and workflow capabilities

  6. Progress to Date • Kick-off telecon held on 4 November • Introduction of members • General discussion of purpose/scope of the activity • Subsequent telecons focused on information sharing • Energy Portal – Lionel Menard • Sustaining Arctic Observing Networks – Jan Rene Larsen • GEOSS Discovery/Access Broker – Stefano Nativi • GEOSS Portal Overview/Demo – Guido Colangeli • Portals of the Water SBA – David Arctur • Portals of Citizens Observatories (future) – Arne J. Berre • Purpose and Scope of the paper and Community Portal Use Cases currently under discussion

  7. Discussions on Purpose and Scope • Paper should include community needs/requirements independent of GEOSS architecture • Paper should address a variety of use cases for community interactions with GEOSS • Multiple community portal types • User clients and helper applications • Communities will want to access GEOSS and non-GEOSS resources • Paper should describe and benefit from previous experience of AIPs and other efforts • Recommendations are non-binding but paper should describe benefits of compliance • IN-03 consolidated requirements for GEO Web Portal will be translated to recommendations as appropriate

  8. Discussion of Use Cases • Paper will use full description of GEOSS architecture to set context but use cases will consider subsequent evolution and be based on implemented components • Use cases will present generalized Community Portal types based on existing or planned capabilities of various groups • Recommendations will be developed to maximize the benefit of each portal type to both the target community and the GEOSS user community at large

  11. Portal Out to Community Resources • Simple link from GEOSS Portal to Community Portal • Community portal should be registered as GEOSS resource • Multiple examples in current GEOSS Portal • Lowest level of interaction with GEOSS • Could be first step toward closer integration and interaction between Community and GEOSS GEOSS Portal Discover/Link Community Portals Access Search Community Catalogues Long Term Archives Access Brokers

  12. Use GEOSS to Build Community System • Community harvests relevant metadata from GCI to build its own Community-focused infrastructure • Community Portal registered as a GEOSS resource • Community infrastructure can support access and integration of GEOSS and non-GEOSS resources GEOSS Portal Discover/Link Community Portals Search DAB Community Catalogues Harvest Access GEOSS Clearinghouse Components & Services Registered Long Term Archives Access Brokers Registered Access Brokers Registered Community Catalogs Long Term Archives

  13. Portal In to GCI Discoverable Resources • Includes Discovery/Link of Community Portal • Community Portal provides focused view of relevant GEOSS resources • Supports integration of GEOSS and non-GEOSS resources for particular discipline Community Portals Discover/Link GEOSS Portal Search DAB Search Access GEOSS Clearinghouse Community Catalogues Components & Services Access Access Brokers Long Term Archives Registered Community Catalogues Registered Access Brokers Registered Long Term Archives

  14. Utilize Helper Applications • Helper applications noted by resource provider in Components and Services Registry • Applications discovered and linked to from GEOSS or Community Portal • Applications can include special processing and/or visualization services Community Portals GEOSS Portal Discover/Link DAB Helper Application Search Specialized Access Services GEOSS Clearinghouse Community Catalogues Components & Services Access Access Brokers Long Term Archives Registered Community Catalogues Registered Access Brokers Registered Long Term Archives
