AIP-2 Persistent Exemplars
A goal of AIP-2 is to augment the Initial Operating Capability (IOC) of GEOSS. The main elements of the GEOSS IOC are contained in the GEOSS Common Infrastructure, e.g., GEO Web Portals, Registries and Clearinghouse. AIP-2 aims to augment the IOC with additional persistent exemplars.
- Persistent Exemplar Criteria
- Persistent Exemplars
- GEOSS Common Infrastructure Tier components
- Client Tier components
- Business Process Tier components
- Access Tier components
The AIP-2 Persistent Exemplars are listed below in Tiers as shown in the AIP-2 Engineering Viewpoint Architecture.
Persistent Exemplar Criteria
To be a "persistent operational exemplar" deployed components must meeting the following criteria:
- Length of commitment
- Upon registering a service, a service provider must specify the length of time for which the service will be offered (preferably ‘unlimited').
- Experimental services will be registered and exempt from the level of service requirements.
- Consider multiple years
- Level of service
- Services are expected to be available at least 99% of the time, except when otherwise required by the nature of the service.
- This allows for approximately 7 hours of down time a month
- Adequate network service must be utilized in order to provide this level of availability.
- Termination
- GEO may "de-list" a server
- Non-functioning components of the Network will diminish the operational and marketing value of the Network in general for all participating organizations.
