Implementing GEOSS architecture with-and-for U sers

1. Implementing GEOSS architecture with-and-for Users George Percivall Open Geospatial Consortium Task lead AR-09-01B

2. A process, elaboration of GEOSS Architecture SBA Tasks, UIC, CBC, STC User Needs, Scenarios requirements Design, Develop, Deploy ADC activities including: Architecture Implementation Pilot (AIP) Task AR-09-01b support Operational Capability GEOSS Common Infrastructure (GCI) Task AR-09-01a persistent implementation

3. GEOSS Interoperability Arrangements- From the GEOSS 10 Year Plan Reference Document - • Interoperability through open interfaces • Interoperability specifications agreed to among contributing systems • Access to data and information through service interfaces • Open standards and intellectual property rights • GEOSS adopting standards; agreed upon by consensus, preference to formal international standards • GEOSS will not require commercial or proprietary standards • Multiple software implementations compliant with the open standards should exist • Goal is that at least one of the implementations should be available to all implementers "royalty-free"

4. GEO Task AR-09-01bArchitecture Implementation Pilot • Support SBAs by developing new process and infrastructure components for GCI and the broader GEOSS architecture • Evolutionary Development thru AIP Phases • Demonstrate and document results to inform GEOSS Development progress “fostering interoperability arrangements and common practices for GEOSS”

5. AIP-3 Focus Areas • Technology Areas • Services Use Cases • Data Harmonization • Data Sharing • Semantics • SBAs addressed • Energy • Disaster Management • Climate Change and Biodiversity • Water Drought • Health: Air Quality

6. AIP Interaction with Users • User scenarios drive development • Implemented through use cases • Scenario WG interaction with CoPs • Scenario demonstrations recorded for later se • AIP support of UIC Usability Testing • GCI came from AIP-1 • AIP supported GCI usability testing • Recommend usability testing for AIP-4 results • AIP-4 focus on data to users • Increase access to UIC priority observations • Usability testing of access enablers

7. AIP Architecture Elements • Components • Manageable units hardware, software, networks • Services • Methods for components to interact using GEOSS Interoperability Arrangements • Use Cases • Describe what can be done with Services, e.g., Discovery, Access, Workflow, etc. • Scenarios • Meet SBA User needs; accomplished with Use Cases
