The Global Framework Global Earth Observing System Of Systems

A distributed system of systems

– Improves coordination of strategies and observation systems

– Links all platforms: in situ, aircraft, and satellite networks

– Identifies gaps in our global capacity

– Facilitates exchange of data and information

– Improves decision-makers’ abilities to address pressing policy issues

GEOSS connects Observations to Decisions

GEO Task IN-05GEOSS Design and InteroperabilityRelated GEOSS Strategic Targets•Architecture: Deployment, population, and enablement of sustained operations and maintenance of a user-friendly and user-accessible GEOSS Common Infrastructure (GCI), including the core components and functions that link the various resources of GEOSS.

Description•Manage the evolutionary technical architecture (design) of GEOSS and contributed Earth observation data and service resources. •Promote GEOSS interoperability principles. •Enable a sustainable GEOSS of value to the user – supporting the development of the GEOSS Common Infrastructure (GCI) and GEOSS communication networks for the access to, and use of, Earth observations and related services.

AIP Supports other GEO Tasks

AIP Evolutionary Development Phases has piloted the GEOSS 10 Year Plan Architecture • AIP-1 

– Kickoff: June 2007– Result: "Core" Architecture defined most of the GCI IOC –

Architecture Workshop • AIP-2 

– Kickoff: September 2008– Results: SBA implementations of common cross-cutting

architecture, refined GCI concept for transition to operations• AIP-3

– Kickoff: March 2010– Results: Enabled network building in GEOSS SBA communities,

piloted broker and processing capabilities

Planning for AIP-5

• Scenario Driven Development as in AIP-3 and AIP-2

• Draft Schedule– CFP Announced: 28 February 2012– CFP Responses due: 11 April – Kickoff Workshop, Geneva: 3-4 May– Integration begins: 1 September – Results for GEO Plenary in 2012

• AIP Plenary Telecons - 1400 UTC Tuesdays

Societal Benefit emphasis in AIP-5

• Development driven by scenarios for the SBAs:– Disasters preparedness and mitigation– Health: AQ and Waterborne– Water Resource Observations– Energy– Agriculture

• Approach– “SBA Integrators” liaison between SBAs and IT– SBA Scenarios deployed through Use Cases – information technology research for SBAs, e.g.

WaterML, QA and Provenance, Services

Technical Research in AIP-5

• User Management and Authentication– Support GEOSS Data CORE – Develop technical definitions for Licensing– Build on AIP-3 and existing GEO member systems

• Research supporting GCI - Task IN-03– GCI and User Management and authentication – EO Vocabulary led by Ontology Task and DIAS– Further advance Discovery and Access Brokers– Discovery of client help aplications

Abstract/Best Practices

RM-ODP Viewpoints

Enterprise Viewpoint

• GEOSS Strategic Vision and Targets• System of Systems approach

– SBA Scenarios deployed using Tech Use Cases – Interoperability Arrangements

• SBA’s in AIP-5– Disasters preparedness and mitigation– Health: AQ and Waterborne– Water Resource Observations– Energy– Agriculture

AIP System Development Process

• Scenarios: end user view of the value of GEOSS – Focused on topics of interest to a community – Occur in a geographic Area of Interest (AOI) – Steps in a scenario are mapped to Use Cases

• Engineering Use Cases support SBA Scenarios– Use cases for discovery, data access, etc– Utilize Standards & Interoperability Arrangements

• Reusable service oriented architecture – Leverages ‘operational domain value’ through

interoperable services

Health SBA in AIP-5

• Framework to integrate health data, environmental variables, including climate, and understandings of waterborne disease ecology. – Link environmental sensed data with health data– Integration as time series analyses – Incorporation of laboratory analysis results– Research influence of climatic and environmental

variables on cholera bacterium and disease• Framework for researching simulation and prediction

models for cholera outbreaks and the relationship between air pollution and adverse health effects.
