The GEOSS Test Facility will not be performing OGC compliance tests. OGC Compliance certification can only be achieved using the test facility hosted by OGC and its members. The GEOSS Test Facility purpose is to support registration of services in the GEOSS registry and to achieve interoperability in the operational GEOSS network. The GEOSS facility may also provide the status checking of operational services.
    • Criteria for persistent, operational services were discussed. A version of the criteria will be presented at the ADC meeting next week.
    • UIC/ADC Air Quality Scenario Workshop
      • Question about geographic region: has the geographic region for the scenarios been chosen?

2008 April 8 - Telecon

DATE: Tuesday, 8 April 2008
TIME: 14:00:00 UTC
Discussions
  • Update on GEOSS Common Infrastructure:
    • The GEOSS Common Infrastructure Process paper was presented to the GEO ExCom, March 26/27.
    • The ExCom agreed that an Initial Operation Capability (IOC) should begin on about 1 May 2008. This will mark the beginning of GEOSS Operations Phase 1 (OP1). During OP1 an evaluation will be conducted on the Common Infrastructure IOC with an emphasis on GEO Portal. A task force (separate from AR-07-02) will be established for the evaluation. Letter agreements with the 3 GEO Portal Providers will be developed.
    • The ExCom also discussed: a search interface to the Clearinghouse; open source or proprietary code as a criteria.
  • Open discussion of the activities of the AIP to support OP1
    • Ideas for the relationship of the AIP to the IOC were discussed. Initial thoughts are that the AIP would augment the IOC with additional services and architecture. During OP1 it is anticipated that the will be flexibility in the components that will allow further development, adaptation and refinement of the architecture developed for IOC. OP1 should be viewed as a phase in a long term process of development of all the components of the Common Infrastructure but also the other components and services of the architecture.
    • During OP1 it will be necessary to continue development and refinement of the search capability across the community catalogues. This work will need to consider the differing vocabulary and metadata schemas implying the need for a broker functionality perhaps using the workflow services.
    • The AIP Process will need to support convergence and consistency across the diversity of contributions from the many participants. Focusing on the Societal Benefit areas will aid this focus. Also the process of CFP, CFP responses and Kickoff workshop for OP1 will bring focus to common areas of development. Formation of Working groups for AIP/OP1 will be useful to aid this convergence.
    • There was general support for an emphasis on "persistent exemplars" ; networks of services based on operational services linked together using the GEOSS ADC Architecture developed in 2007. Contributions by GEO Members with persistent services will be key to this.
    • A plan for developing the Call for Participation was briefly discussed. The plan makes use of the CFP from 2007. G. Percivall is enlisting contributions to the CFP development, e.g., scenarios from the architecture workshop. The CFP will remain open for the entirity of OP1, while urging responses to the CPF in time for planning the Kickoff Workshop. Developing an Open Call for Participation in AIP-2008
  • Discussion of AIP Schedule
    • The milestones are defined but the dates are not.
    • CFP Release:
    • Responses to CFP due:
    • Kickoff workshop: 2 days
    • Interim results at GEO Plenary: November
    • Final OP1 augmentation results
  • Any other business
    • Next AIP telecon: 22 April

 


2008 February 12 - Telecon

DATE: Tuesday, 12 February 2008
TIME: 14:00:00 UTC

Discussions
  • Architecture Workshop Summary - February 3&4
    • Overall Agenda of Workshop
    • Presentations for nearly all sessions are now posted in the pages linked to the overall agenda.
    • Water Scenario was discussed in telecon: contact Session leader David Arctur (darctur@ogcii.org) if you are interested in contributing or participating in the Water Scenario
  • ADC-6 Meeting Summary - February 5&6
    • Task AR-07-02 presentation to ADC-6
    • GEOSS Common Infrastructure Establishment Process paper
      • Discussion of Version 0 of the paper as presented by Jose Achache at ADC-6
      • Presented a revised Figure 1 with "GEOSS Common Infrastructure" including GEO Portal, Clearinghouse, and Registries
      • Questions and comments raised in the telecon discussion:
        • How can comments by the Task team be submitted?
        • How might ESRI and Compusult participate independent of a member or a participating organization.
        • OGC's role is as point of contact for GEO Task AR-07-02.
        • GEO Secretariat is conducting the establishment process.
        • The Establishment process and Task AR-07-02 are GEO activities.
    • AIP Scenarios and process
      • During ADC-6 there was an emphasis requested that the AIP focus on operational or nearly -operational deployments of solutions, designed by those with the problem being solved.
      • The role of AIP is to work with members, participating organizations and other GEO tasks to enhance the operational systems use of the GEOSS architecture.
      • The workshop scenarios identified jointly by UIC and ADC will be refined to meet this objective.
      • Emphasis needs to be made that the AIP process is open; there has been a perception that no participants could join after the CFP last year - this was an incorrect perception.
  • Architecture Implementation Pilot Next steps
      • The Draft Schedule presented at ADC-6 will need to be revised once the establishment process matures
      • Table 1 in Section 5 of the process paper Version 0 shows the schedule
        • Providers established by July 1
        • Version 0 of components in place by end of 2008
    • Clarity on the process is anticipated to increase in March.
      • Review of process: C4 meeting Feb 18 & 19
      • Decision on process anticipated by ExCom 12 in March
    • CFP will need to be consistent with the Establishment process.
      • Therefore the CFP may be as early as April and as late as June
      • The kickoff may be as early as June and as late as September.
