DIASData Integration & Analysis System
© GEO Secretariat
• The Group on Earth Observations is coordinating efforts to build a Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS).
• GEO was launched in response to calls for action by the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development and by the G8 leading industrialized countries.
GEO/GEOSS
S&D strategy in Japan
RECCA2
S&T Basic plan -5 will start since 2016
Data Integration and Analysis System (DIAS)
• DIAS was launched in 2006 as a Japanese contribution to GEOSS
• one of five National Key Technologies defined by the 3rd Basic Program for Science and Technology of Japan. o Total of USD 60 million for 10 years by MEXT from 2006
• The missions are:o to coordinate the cutting-edge information science and
technology and the various research fields addressing the earth environment;
o to construct data infrastructure that can integrate earth observation data, numerical model outputs, and socio-economic data effectively;
o to create knowledge enabling us to solve the sustainable worldo to generate socio-economic benefits

• Heterogeneity among data sources is a big issue in the Internet. (data structure, access methods, etc.)
• Data brokers provide consistent access to those heterogeneous data sources

International collaboration
W3C Agriculture CGW3C Team | Posted on: October 15, 2014
The Agriculture Community Group has been launched:The initial mission of the Agriculture Community Group is to gather and categories
existing user scenarios, which use Web APIs and services, in the agriculture industry from around the world, and to serve as a portal which helps both web developers and agricultural stakeholders create smarter devices, Web applications & services, and to provide bird’s eye view map of this domain which enables W3C and other SDOs tofind overlaps and gaps of user scenarios and the Open Web Platform.
We’ll try to collect facts and knowledge from around the world through crowd-sourcing, while, at the same time, build a scaffold for it by quickly gathering key topics from Japanese agricultural stakeholders. Smart Platform Forum supports this early stages by connecting relevant stakeholders in Japan and organizing face-to-face meetings if needed to proceed faster.
