  1. WGISS Response to GEO/CEOS-SIT Ken McDonald WGISS/Vice-Chair

  2. Recent WGISS Actions • At WGISS-21 • Discussed possible reorganization • Reviewed “WGISS Tasks” and assigned POCs • Developed plan for GEO coordination • Since WGISS-21 • Developed preliminary list of potential WGISS contributions to GEO tasks

  3. WGISS-21 Summary of GEO Discussions • At WGISS-21, conclusion was that at the present time, reorganization is not necessary. • “WGISS” POCs could fit in current structure: • SGs, Task Teams or WTFs. • Either existing or new TT / WTFs • Overall coordination: • WGISS Vice-Chair nominated (Ken McDonald, NASA) as WGISS GEO Coordinator • Shall manage WGISS response to all requests coming from CEOS: activity monitoring, reporting to CEOS WGISS, interface with “WGISS” POCs,.. • WGISS Chair (Ivan Petiteville) reports on WGISS GEO activities and status to CEOS Plenary and SIT.

  4. WGISS-21 GEO Action • Task Teams (TT) to link their activities to the GEO 2006 WP(9 “WGISS”, then 33 “ADC” Tasks eventually to all 96 tasks.) • Leaders to identify TT’s current & future activities that are related to GEO 2006 WP • For each identified GEO 2006 task, nominations of the “WGISS” POCs (end of June 2006) • Detailed proposal of contribution per GEO tasks to be proposed by “WGISS” POC to GEO Task POC • Once agreed at GEO Task level, start to work

  5. WGISS Response to GEO Action • WGISS-All requested to review GEO 2006 Work Plan and Task List • Subgroup and Task Team Leads, working with team members, identified possible WGISS contributions to GEO tasks • Consolidated list of potential contributions and proposed WGISS point(s) of contact

  6. Highlights of Potential WGISS Contributions • International Directory Network (IDN) • Comprehensive, operational data and service discovery • Interoperable Catalog Systems • Interoperability Handbook • WTF - Science and Applications Support • Water Resources - WTF-CEOP • Disaster Response - WTF-Disasters • Emerging Technologies • GRID • Service Oriented Architectures

  7. Primary GEO Areas • Societal Benefit - Water and Disasters • WTFs provide model for applying WGISS technologies to actual projects and applications. • Transverse Areas - Architecture and Data Management • WGISS technology and services task teams offer practical experience in technology development, reuse and infusion. • Technologies focus on data discovery and access, distributed data system architectures, data integration and resource sharing. • Constellation Concept • WGISS experience with distributed data systems could play important role in virtual observing system concept.

  8. Plan for WGISS-22 • During SG/TT Sessions: • Continue discussion on how task team activities do or could relate to GEO tasks • In Thursday’s GEO Session: • Status update on GEO initiatives • Refine list of potential contributions and named single WGISS point of contact • Update list to address GEO 2007-9 Work Plan and other initiatives (e.g. Constellations) • Discuss resources to make the contributions

  9. Questions, Discussion?
