AQCluster Telecons 31Oct08
From Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)
October 31, 2008 Telecon
Topics (feel free to add your ideas):
- Transitioning from an ESIP Cluster to an ESIP Working Group
- Working groups are eligible for ESIP funding support of the type we proposed a few weeks ago
- AIP Scenario
- Have initial draft scenarios ready next week (Nov 7) so that transverse working groups develop use cases (discovery, access, use)
- A template for scenarios is posted
- Define scenario detials (data, area of interest, users, etc.)
- Use cases: how do you discover - much more technology detailed and reusable across scenarios
- Scenario would have "higher level", less tech-speak steps
- Community air quality data catalog for GEOSS
- Create community catalog based on ESIP wiki, harvestable for GEOSS Clearinghouse
- Provide tools/methods for creating standards based access services.
- Register community-supplied standard services
- Need to determine which services are to be registered in GEOSS
- What's appropriate (what's suitable in meeting standards requirements)
- Close loop with Data Providers for confirmation that service is to be registered
- International Symposium on Remote Sensing of the Environment, May 4-8, 2009, Stresa Italy.
- The Co-Chair of GEOSS UIC, Gary Foley, EPA, has invited ESIP to submit abstracts that illustrate the GEO process, and inform potential users and decision-makers.
- Thematic Sessions of possible interest:
- Integrating Climate Change / Atmosphere considerations into decision-making
- Disaster reduction and response
- Observing environmental factors that affect human Health and well-being
- Data and Information Systems: emerging SDI technologies (possible GEO session?)
- Societal Benefits of Earth observations: Applications and Assessment Methodologies
- Possible Presentations at Stresa:
- GEOSS AQ Pilot / Community of Practice / ESIP AQ Workgroup
- AQ Decision Support using GEOSS Infrastructure and Architecture
- Use of Remote Sensing for AQ policy, AQ management and Informing the Public
