Telecon notes for AIP-3 in 2010 and 2011



Telecon 15 June  2010

 

Discussions

    • AIP-3 Development Milestones 
      • Steve Browdy reminded the participants of the common architecture use cases to be used for scenarios, and the schedule for testing and demo capture.
      • Steve Browdy mentioned that the wiring diagram template was being reviewed, and will be available for scenario use soon.
    • Update by Technical WGs
      • Data Sharing - Steve Browdy 
        • License use cases finished for now, and based upon agreed upon license categories from CFP and DSTF.
        • Work has begun on how to utilize metadata for data restriction information.  The group decided to focus on ISO 19115/19139 for now, and revisit other metadata standards later, if time permits.
        • For ISO 19115, there was discussion regarding the use of the MD_Contraints object and the CI_Citation objects.
        • The next meeting is after this plenary, and will focus on finishing the discussion of ISO 19115 and will begin the discussion of user management (user registration and SSO).
      • Vocabularies and Semantics - Roberto Lucchi, Masahiko Nagai, Cristiano Fugazza 
        • No update provided.
      • Data Harmonization - Hervé Caumont, Clements Portele, Simon Cox,  Giuseppe Ottavianelli' 
        • Herve Caumont discussed scheduling a telecon this week to discuss specific goals.
      • End-to-end - Josh, Nadine, Stefan, Larry 
        • Steve Browdy mentioned a couple of the issues being worked on; in particular, the GEOSS Common Metadata record.
        • Erin Robinson had no new progress to report on the common metadata record work.
    • Update on collaboration logistics - contact Josh Lieberman for assistance 
      • Steve Browdy asked if there were any issues regarding collaboration.  There were none brought up by the participants.
      • Steve Browdy reminded the participants about the use of the Best Practices Wiki for their work.  It was stated that a working group need not wait until there is a finished document to register, but can use the BPW as a collaboration tool to evolve a best practice.

          services, applications, and processes. This was some of Monday's E2E
          discussion. Requires both metadata for describing links, and the ability
          for fine-grained access to these resources through links
        • The AQH group seem interested in leveraging keywords as the easiest
          way to start. Doug emphasized trying to figure out how to do links
          better in 19115 / 19119 / 19139
        • Discussed  how to encode terms in metadata which are drawn from
          thesauri or ontologies and thus processable for mapping and inference.
          Resolvable URI's, namespace references, or both? BTW, I'm pushing the
          Semantics WG to start putting down details of their use cases, at least
          starting with specialization of the existing ones (e.g. Query metadata
          -> Expand metadata query).

EO2HEAVEN is an FP7 project focused on the application of Earth Observations to health. Their interest is in colera but there may be an overlap with malaria. George Percivall commented that perhaps a common approach for EO data for infectious disease could be developed.
        • Juergen Walther commented that BKG will respond to the CFP regarding the BKG catalogues and analysis of metadata that they have done. Josh Lieberman and Juergen have worked on this topic in previous AIP and there can be further progress made. Nadine Alameh asked if the BKG catalogue would be available for registering other resources. Juergen explained that the BKG catalogue is populated with content from German sources including WMS, WFS, SOS, etc.
        • Robert Thomas from Compusult described how their GEO portal will be avaialable for use by communities to have a view of the resources relevant to the community. SBA groups can work with the Compusult portal to support their scenarios.
        • Lionel Menard of MINES ParisTech described several organizations that will contribute to the Energy scenario including two FP7 projects: EnerGEO and Genesis. George asked if there was a biomass topic in AIP-3 Energy. George will send information to Lionel about a GEOSS workshop later this year on biomass energy.
        • Mattia Santoro of CNR commented that they are developing a response that will address two SBAs. The Biodiversity scenario will be addressed from three FP7 projects: EuroGEOSS, GENESIS and a third project. The Drought scenario will be address based upon the EuroGEOSS project. Will Pozzi commented that he was pleased to hear of the Drought contribution and that he would like to coordinate with Mattia and Brad Lee of CSIRO regarding the several drought contributions.
        • Roberto Lucci, ESRI, commented that about the enhancements they are making to their GEO Portal in time for AIP-3. The ESRI portal will be a resource to SBA Integrators as a portal and other tools such as the web app: GEO Viewer.
        • Didier Giaccobbo, Spot Image, commented on developments from the Disaster Management SBA that will be based on the FP7 project called SAFER. This will support the flooding scenario in the CFP Architecture but can be generalized to the the Disaster Management cycle. George commented that the Extreme Percipitation event can be related to the Disaster Management topics.
        • Sri Vinay, CIESIN, indicated that in AIP-3 they will be expanding their population estimation service with improved and more data added over what was done in AIP-2.
        • Giuseppe Ottavianelli, ESA, described their considerations about responding to the CFP regarding QA4EO. Giuseppe described QA4EO as developed by CEOS and how it can be relevant to the GEOSS. George commented that there two ways in which QA4EO can be applied to AIP: 1) in the Data Harmonization topic to provide a QA element to the information framework that needs to developed and will result in GEOSS Inteoperability Arrangemetns and Best PRactices, 2) Impmentation of the QA4EO information structures in the components and services that provide data to users, e.g., User Requirements Registry.
