The overall objective of WGISS is to facilitate data and information management and services for users and data providers in dealing with global, regional and local issues. It will address in particular the description, access, retrieval, archiving, long-term preservation, utilization, and maintenance of spaceborne Earth observation data and supporting

ancillary and auxiliary data and information, enabling improved operability and interconnectivity of information systems and services.5

New Interest Group and Projects• Data Stewardship Interest Group (Chaired by USGS)

– Enable the sharing of agency investigations, developments, and lessons-learned relating to EO data stewardship

– Draft common cross-agency best practices or guidelines of data stewardship for possible adoption by WGISS

• GEOSS Architecture for the use of Satellites for Disasters and Risk Assessment Project (Co-Chaired by NASA/ NSAU)– To address the use of satellites, sensors, models, and associated data products to support disaster

response and risk assessment. – To provide an enterprise perspective for managing distributed systems and web services for disaster

management. It is intended to provide a common vocabulary to describe the GEOSS building blocks and how they are composed.

• Water Portal Project (Chaired by JAXA)– To provide assistance to the water relevant scientists and general users in the development of data

services associated with data integration and distribution.

Progress/Deliverable -2011 Highlights

10



CWIC – Offers access to operational inventory systems at NOAA CLASS, NASA ECHO, USGS, INPE, and working on connection to

AOE (China – NSMC, Beijing-1)

– System of Systems proof of concept demonstrated • EuroGEOSS Broker (JRC) searching for INPE inventory data via CWIC• Demo of GENESI (ESA) searching for NASA inventory data via CWIC• Demo of CNES (JeoBrowser) searching for NASA inventory data via CWIC

– NASA CWIC Data Portal will provide satellite data discovery and access through the IDN and CWIC– HMA and CWIC is discussing on future interoperability– Future data partner includes CCRS; future portal partners include Geo Web portal, CCRS agency portal, AC

portal, LSI portal

IDN– All metadata records held in the CEOS IDN collection are available to the GCI

Atmospheric Composition Portal– the AC portal continues its operation at http://wdc.dlr.de/acp/

– ACP guidance for standards implementation

CEOS Water Portal• Water Portal continues its operation, with new URL http://waterportal.ceos.org/

Data Stewardship • CEOS WGISS Purge Alert Service

• White papers on:

– Long-Term Archive Stratergies– Data Preservation Techniques– Data Lifecycle Models and Concepts– Browse Survey 1997-2010– Guidelines for GIS-Ready Products

WGISS 5 year plan• Updated and revised to reflect structure change• Term of user vice chairs

12


Response to CEOS• WGISS has participated in:

• CEOS Self Study• CEOS Portal Study• WGCBDD ToR preparation

• Candidates to the GEO WP 2012-2015 contributions: • IN-03-C1: GEOSS Common Infrastructure

(WADC/CWIC) • IN-02-C1: Long-term preservation of Earth

observation data (WGISS Data Stewardship Interest Group)

13


Cooperation with CEOS Working Groups

• Have been closely working with WGCV on the CEOS QA4EO Showcases in three areas

• WGISS agrees to support WGCBDD– “The WGCBDD will specifically work with WGISS to ensure

a seamless transition from the technical matters relating to data accessibility to the matters relating to systemic and individual capacity development” (WGSBDD ToR, Nov 2011)
