Milestones to date• Feb, 2006, Brussels, CBC1, task definition• May, 2006, Sao Jose dos Campos, CBC2, initial survey

results• Aug-Sep, 2006, ITC/NL, US, CB Strategic Plan writing

team (co-chairs, Poc, …)• Dec, 2006, execution 2nd CB survey• Feb, 2007, Tenerife, CBC3, comm. results 2nd survey• June, 2007, Geneva, CBC4, preparations Seville, CT• Sep, 2007, Seville, Donor Conference, CBC5, results• Nov, 2007, Ministerial Summit, Cape Town, CB issues

Expected milestones 2008• Progressing in CB gap identification for all

SBA’s (using existing data + complemented 2008)– e.g. Joannes Berque (UNESCO-IOC), EO oceans…

• CB Best Practices Register <- provider-based– Ref. Jay Pearlman (ADC, IEEE…)

• CB Needs inventory <- end user-based• GEO CB Services activated through GEO

Portal, GEONETCast system,…

Working methods• GEO CB on-line survey v.2008

– End-user / value adding Comp, academic institutions, int’l orgs., – Government Agencies, int’l agencies, GEO part.orgs, etc..

• Or other data gathering methods: wiki,..? (for discussion)

• Coordinating meetings (calls) with other CB task leads & main contributors

• Reporting• Organize CB (“do”) workshops (side events) at int’l prof.

events (e.g. AARSE Oct, 2008, Accra, Ghana, EUMETSAT User Conf,…) on use of GEOnetcast (data access, sharing) – Open Source (freeware); = gaps & need evaluation in practice in regions

Role's of task contributors• Role definitions of contributors? (see list)• Example of contribution to task:

– client, respondent identification in regions, survey partner,

– Science a/o CB expert in a SBA…– contributors in world regions (5) e.g. SAM, NAM,

EUR, AFR, ASIA, PAC,?– Reporting to GEO community (writing group)– Other tbd

• Co-organizer CB “hands-on” workshops…

Coordination with other tasks• CB 07-01b has “Feeder role” to GEO Portal &

Geonetcast CB Services and BP Registry• Close coordination requested with:

– GEO Portal – CB Services entries AR-07-02– Open Source CB task CB-07-01e– GEONETCast Education channel CB-06-04– GEO Best Practices Registry DA-06-07 – Resource Mobilization, donors CB-07-01a– CB activities in SBA themes

• CB for Water Resources Mgt. e.g. WA-06-07,.. • CB for Disaster Mgt. & Knowledge Network CB-07-02• Others, NWP cap. building, ADC (SDI aspects),..

Expected products - dates• On-line Gaps & needs survey (results)

• Survey Analysis report

• Support BP Registry initiation (DA-06-07 objective)

• Support GEO Portal CB Service Provider

• Regional CB workshops (+gaps & needs surveying)

• ..

Other ITC GEO CB in pipeline • CB Training Workshop(s): AARSE 2008,

pre/post event: Hands-on GEONETCast global data system using Open Source ware. Other locations tbd.

• 52North/ILWIS Open Source system development, ITC’s free software environment for Geonetcast data reception and application development, visualization– E.g. used in EU FP7 DEVCOCast, EU FP7 CEOP-

AEGIS projects, etc.

• E-learning module (ITC), under design & development: GEONETCast for Water Security & Governance (and other SBA areas…);

EU FP7 – GEOSS - CB• Current (ITC) involvement in: Science packages,

Capacity Building (training materials & delivery) and Dissemination packages of medium large IP’s:– DEVCOCAST (JRC, VITO, ITC) -> focus AFRICA,

SOUTH AMERICA– CEOP-AEGIS (China, India, France, NL, Spain,...) ->

focus Tibetan Plateau – ASIA• Excellent mechanism for linking scientific EO &

SDI research to CB and dissemination (end-users)

• ..

CBC & GEO support

• CBC support: coordination with other tasks

• GEO secretariat: across GEO committee boundaries, liaisons, information, network support

• -> Presentations on – CB – Oceans: Joannes Berque– CB Best Practices Wiki: Jay Pearlman

• -> Discussion, questions,…
