GEOSS Demos Lessons LearnedGEOSS Demos Lessons Learned

• Application-specific demos are a great way to engage with user communities that would not necessarily look to OGC standards.

• Emphasize message about using distributed components with open standards vs. standalone application

• Tremendous enthusiasm and commitment of agencies and research groups to collaborate

• Demo provides a fast-track to skills development and knowledge transfer.• Live demo is compelling but dependent upon communications networks that may

not be reliable at workshops• Live demo should be accompanied by a pre-recorded demo• Presentation of the demo works best with two projectors: one for the client

application, the other for a powerpoint presentation explanation• Start early to get satellite data• Desirable to involve participants from the local region• Keep it simple, focus on the magic of interoperability• GEOSS Demos are persistent using OGC Network

NASA Ames Unmanned Aircraft Systems NASA Ames Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) (UAS)

• Ames conducing a UAS workshop at the beginning of the conference.– UAS workshop results are compatible with GEOSS workshop at the

end of the week

• UAS Workshop– Predator-B UAV to fly over coffee fields in Costa Rica to support

sustainable agriculture – Don Sullivan, Ames, installing servers and network to support UAS

workshop– GEOSS demo to access UAV coffee data via WMS, WCS located at

conference• SPS?



ClientClient platforms and Applicationsplatforms and Applications

• Platform Independent– Web-based WMS viewer: under development at EDAC as a multi-

server WMS data viewer

• Linux/OS X/Windows– uDig: open source desktop GIS application with support for OGC

WxS services


GEOSS Societal Benefit area goal:GEOSS Societal Benefit area goal: 4.1.8 - Agriculture 4.1.8 - Agriculture

• Supporting sustainable agriculture and combating desertification Issues addressed by GEOSS will include: – crop production; livestock, aquaculture and fishery statistics; food security

and drought projections; nutrient balances; farming systems; land use and land-cover change; and changes in the extent and severity of land degradation and desertification.

• GEOSS implementation will address the continuity of critical data, such as high-resolution observation data from satellites.

• A truly global mapping and information service, integrating spatially explicit socio-economic data with agricultural, forest, and aquaculture data will be feasible, with applications in poverty and food monitoring, international planning, and sustainable development.

• GEOSS 10 Year Plan Reference Document, page 202
