LSI Portal Enhancements:Contents, Appearance and Functionality


Work with WGCV• Goal = make Cal/Val information available on LSI portal• Goal = connect WGCV portal (Cal/Val info) with LSI portal (radiometric info) per sensor• new WGCV portal: http://calvalportal.ceos.org


Develop LSI Portal Contents• Currently focused on providing radiometric information on the sensors requested by the LSI Constellation team, as well as supporting materials and data access links.• Expand sensors to include new LSI Constellation goals: Virtual Constellation goals• Disaster Management Constellation sensors: http://www.dmcii.com • Consider integration with WGCV portal sensors (not just mid-resolution sensors?)• Establish national agency representatives/contacts to maintain sensor info• Peer-reviewed documentation

Refurbish LSI Portal Appearance• Update front page• Design toward common look with WGISS, CEOS, GEO services?• Polled comments



Appearance Suggestions• Consider redesign to better match other WGISS, CEOS, GEO partners (constellations, WGCV, FCT)• Some comments say tables are too detailed, some not enough• Design needs cosmetic upgrade (page layout, font, navigation style, and menu)• Some metadata content is not consistent• Pages should be restructured into an integrated website system• No need for big logo on front page



LSI Portal Operations• Transportability• Relationship with MIT & WISP, metrics• Interoperability with WGISS, CEOS and GEO services



Functionality Suggestions1. Suggestion to add ability to answer questions more directly, such as what sensor is

best for land surface temp? Add an FAQ and/or documentation explaining details. Question of whether the portal designed for 'beginner' or 'expert'?

2. Do not open new windows from links3. Add metrics functionality to web site?4. Study the ability to implement a one-stop portal where a single search with map

support would allow users to query in parallel all the databases of data / products 5. Provide linkages to WGCV information on sensor characteristics and other product

quality information and/or goodness of fit to particular land apps and science6. Expand coverage to include additional sensors. Consider all mid-resolution (10-

100m) or others7. Renew contacts for each portal sensor so agency is responsible for their content8. Add ability for LSI IG/ Constellation communal access for editing, uploading9. Integrate CWIC 10. Add peer-reviewed documentation for each sensor11. Comments from GEO and SIT meetings12. Coordinate with other CEOS databases: MIMS, Systems Database



Tasks to Occur by WGISS-301. Expand contents (sensors, documentation)2. Upgrade appearance3. Upgrade operations (metrics, framework, communal access)4. Confirm links to sensor representatives5. Connect with WGCV for cal/val (others?)6. Improve data access (CWIC)
