What is V-GISC and the Project Office?

V-GISC = SIMDAT Software

+ additional Software for integration of local systems

+ organisational concept (the so-called VO)

V-GISC Project Office: Develops concepts / guidelines to reach an operational V-GISC (no software development) System Integration Architecture Organisational Concept of V-GISC

V-GISC Project Office: A VO with 2 staff members (Météo France and ECMWF)

What is a Virtual Organisation?

Definition: VO, inside view Co-operating independent organisations VO, outside view One comprehensive organisation

Layer Model:1. Organisation Layer : Cooperation of people and org. unit2. Product Layer: Meteorological Data, Data Policy3. Operational Layer: Basic IT Infrastructure (Grid Technology)4. Application Layer: Interoperability of the V-GISC components

PO deals with concepts of the Organisation Layer

Counterparts: Organisation Layer IT-LayersStructural VO Model IT-Architecture
