Cross Working Group Topics

This page are topics that address multiple AIP-2 Working Group Topics.

• Definitions 
• Cross Working Group Coordination
• Working Group Telecon schedules
• Community Scenarios and Transverse Use Cases

Definitions for Components

Definitions for GEOSS components were drafted by the IOC Task Force; including comments from ESA.   These definitions were  reviewed during AIP-2 Plenary telecon on 2008-10-4. The edited definitions have been provided back to the IOC Task Force.

 Cross Working Group coordination

 One element of coordination between the Working Groups is common membership.  The following tables is an non-exclusive listing of individuals that are on both working groups and providing coordination. Multiple persons can be listed in each cell of the table.

Community Scenarios and Transverse Use Cases

To coordinate development between Community WGs Scenarios need to be supported by Transverse WG Use Cases.

• Scenarios provide an end user view of the value of GEOSS.  Scenarios are focused on topics to a community of interest.  Scenarios could occur in any geographic Area of Interest (AOI) and specific a AOI  for a specific demonstration.  Steps in a scenario are use cases.  A scenario template for the development of AIP-2 Scenarios has been developed.
• Use Cases show the reuse of GEOSS service oriented architecture for a narrow action, e.g., discovery, data access. Use cases are specific to Interoperability Arrangements.  A use case template for development of AIP-2 Use Cases has been developed.

Scenarios from the AIP-2 Community WGs are listed below with links :

• Air Quality and Health: posted here
• Disasters: scenarios posted here
• Climate Change and Biodiversity: Polar Ecosystems , Arctic Food Chain , Pika Distribution
• Renewable Energy: a living version of the RE scenario is available

A summary mapping of Scenarios to use cases is available here .
