GeoChronos - 2

Collaboration Challenges Familiarity with new tools for collaboration Keeping all interested parties in the loop Finding related work and researchers Keeping up to date with current research Collaboration while working in the field

GeoChronos - 3

Data Challenges Acquisition of data

Many different data sources Different regulations/mechanisms for accessing data Lack of automation Finding the right data

Managing data Scattered and unorganized data Inadequate tools for recording/maintaining metadata

Data without metadata is meaningless Lack of suitable metadata standards Validation of metadata

Tracking provenance of data Pre-processing of data

Raw data typically cannot be directly analyzed Significant amount of time spent preparing data for analysis Lack of automation

GeoChronos - 4

Application Challenges Access to software available in research lab

while in field or other locations Installing, configuring and updating software System dependencies of software Awareness and suitability of available software Sharing applications Getting help in using applications Sharing results and getting feedback Co-location of data and applications

GeoChronos - 5

An on-line platform For:

Earth Observation Scientists Facilitating:

Collaboration between scientists Data access, management and sharing Application access, management and sharing

Leveraging: Web 2.0 and social networking technologies Semantic Web technologies Cloud computing technologies

Data Solutions Data Acquisition

Automated acquisition of data from sensors (ground, airborne, satellite) or third party

Data Storage Store, share, browse and

search data i.e., spectral library

Data Processing Automated data workflows

i.e., mosaic, reproject and subset MODIS data

GeoChronos - 8

Application Solutions Interactive Application

Service (IAS) On-line, on-demand access to

scientific applications Share application sessions and

data with other users Access control to applications

Batch Processing Service Batch processing environment

for longer running data processing tasks or simulations

For use directly by individual users or as part of automated data workflows

Status Currently in development phase Opened up to a small number of test users

Currently over 50 users from Europe, South America and North America

Test usage of portal at IAI-UofA International Summer School in July 2009

Slowly open up to different communities of users as development progresses

Production portal: mid-late 2010
