Wiki - Collaborative workspace for virtual workgroups • - We use wikis to organize a diverse arrAY of artifacts for a workgroup or a project. See the ESIP wiki or the DataFed or the DataFed wiki • - Wikis (e.g. Wikipedia) are best known for collaborative writing. We have written papers and workgrop reports, even proposals on wikies. • - The discussion pages attached to each wiki page is an easy and way to provide feedback or to conduct disscyssion • - Wiki pages have tags which allow filtering and aggregation through dynamic page lists • - Wikies can be mashed with other web applications such as del.icio.us (social bookmarking), Flickr (picture shaing) and Google Maps using direct links or RSS messaging protocols. rhusar@me.wustl.edu
Characteristics of System of Systems (SoS) • Autonomous constituents managed/operated independently • Independent evolution of each constituent • Displays emergent behavior Must recognize, manage, exploit the characteristics: • No stakeholder has complete SoS insight • Central control is limited; distributed control is essential • Users, must be involved throughout the life of a SoS rhusar@me.wustl.edu
ISO 19123 grid coverage model • ISO 19111 Non uniform vertical dimension • ISO 19139 • ISO TS 19139 is designed to provide a common XML specification for describing, validating and exchanging geographic metadata. It is intended to promote interoperability, and exploit ISO 19115’s advantages in a concrete implementation specification. • ISO 19115 An International Metadata Standard for Geographic Information ( http://www.iso.org/iso/en/CatalogueDetailPage.CatalogueDetail?CSNUMBER=26020&ICS1=35&ICS2=240&ICS3=70 ) established by TC 211 on Geographic Information/ Geomatics rhusar@me.wustl.edu
WMO Information System (WIS) • The WMO Information System (WIS) is an overarching approach and a single coordinated global infrastructure for the collection, distribution, retrieval of, and access to data and information of all WMO and related programmes. rhusar@me.wustl.edu
GADS Workshop Purpose • Bring together experts in atmospheric aerosols and database management to • assess the current state of the art, and to • make recommendations for developing a coordinated plan for future work in aerosol data management aspects of the International Global Aerosol Program (IGAP) Approach • Prior to the meeting, participants were asked to provide written responses to: • current state of knowledge • knowledge gaps, and • recommendations for future work. rhusar@me.wustl.edu
