AIP Telecon 6 July 2010

Discussions 

  • AIP-3 Development Milestones
    • Objective:  SBA scenarios implemented with common architecture use cases
      • AIP-3 Use Cases - AIP-2 plus several new use cases.
      • Scenarios and linked Use Cases partially complete by May 25th
    • Now:  Development of services and components.
      • SBA WGs to identify resources for implementing their scenarios
      • Develop wiring diagram showing the connections between resources
    • Testing begins in September:  1) Use Case Testing, 2) Scenario Testing
    • Demo captures complete in Early October - Capture workshop as virtual event.
  • Update by Scenario WGs
    • Water - Update provided by Will Pozzi, Josh Lieberman and Doug Cripe
      • Water ontology almost finished (includes drought ontology)
      • Working with Stefano and Mattio on incorporating into EuroGEOSS Broker
      • Group had telecon with Doug Cripe (Secretariat lead for IGWCO Global Water Cycle COP). Doug was on the plenary telecon as well.
        • Kicking off a global drought management program and interested in linking with AIP activities (scenarios, component registration, awareness, etc)
      • Next telecon on Friday July 9 at 9 am EST
    • Energy - Updated provided by Lionel Menard
      • Continuing to work on connection between WPS and the visualization portlet based on genesis infrastructure
        • WPS calculates environmental impact assessment from the use of a given PV system (according to various parameters)
      • Working on catalog and clearinghouse with issues remaining
        • Josh will organize telecon with clearinghouse group to resolve these issues and others
        • Telecon scheduled for Friday July 9 at 10 am EST
      • Last Wed, Lionel gave a presentation at the Genesis user group meeting
        • Much interest in AIP-3
        • Possibilities for leveraging the tools in genesis
      • Also communicating with Greg Undich on User Registry Requirements
        • Lionel forwarded requirements for Energy (wind and solar)
    • Biodiversity - Update provided by Mattia Santoro
      • Next telecon is on Thursday July 8, focusing on identifying the components available and/or currently in development
      • Obtained update by Doug regarding the Arctic SDI (contacts with NCAR to access climate model outputs in WMS)
      • For the e-habitat scenario, working on development of WPS and semantic-enabled discovery service
        • Components will be released next week and testing will begin soon after
      • Further discussions are needed to figure out how to work with partners for the semantic-enabled discovery (e.g. with the water group; what format does the ontology have to be in; etc)
        • Need to encourage the organization of a semantics WG telecon
    • Health - Update provided by Stefan Falke
      • Still working on gathering services and components in support of the 2 WG scenarios
        • Goal is to have as many of those services/components registered in the CSR so that they're findable and accessible
      • Looking at WPS from U of ? currently providing spatial interpolation for air quality monitoring within Europe, and investigating whether it can be adapated for the US as well
      • Next telecon Thursday July 15 (every other week)
    • Disaster - Update provided by Arnaud Cauchy
      • The group will set up a telecon shortly and announce to list
      • Approach is to find as many services/data/resources currently in the registry that could be used to support the scenarios in addition to registering others that are not yet in the registry.
