  • Data Sharing - Steve Browdy

    • Steve provided an update
    • Returning to the data sharing use cases; Delaying SSO use cases
    • Need to change approach based upon Data Sharing Task Force decision that is now recorded in the Data Sharing Action Plan:

      • When no information about usage rights and restrictions is provided, the presumption within GEOSS will be that the data are fully and openly available with no restrictions on use and dissemination. The GCI web pages will make this presumption clear to both data providers and users.
      • This is to be presented to the ExCom and then to the Plenary for confirmation.

    • This is a change from the orgininal assumption and affects the GCI that the AIP Data Sharing WG will now analyze.
    • WG will have a telecon later today.

  • Vocabularies and Semantics - Roberto Lucchi, Masahiko Nagai, Cristiano Fugazza

  • End-to-end - Josh, Nadine, Stefan, Larry

    • Nadine provided an update regarding the 29 June WG telecon
    • Issue is how to register and Ontology in GEOSS?

      • As there is good coordination between AIP and the Semantics/Ontology task this should be resolved.
      • Steve suggests that the ontologies should be described in the BP Wiki but that is not the same as providing machine level access to an OWS or RDF file.
      • Brad Lee suggested registering the ontologies in the SIR.
      • Steve suggested the MMI ontology registry may be a solution.

    • GEOSS Common Record

      • How does this relate to the Operations CSR
      • Need to promote awareness of the GEOSS Common Record and the analysis that lead to the development.
