Notes
Powerpoint slides from presentation can be found here:
Rama
- Status update on PCCS
- Baseline the requirements/standards for PCCS
John Moses
- Two topics from summer meeting:
1) What is the relationship between this work with PCCS and what is already out there
- There 4 areas/standards already out there that relate to PCCS efforts.
- Metadata-interoperability in data set search and access
- Service Web Enablement-sensorML, WCS, WFS, WMS...
- Consultive Committee on Space Data Systems
- Library and Publishing Applications
- Lots of discussion about standards, like ISO’s and others that could be included
The PCCS is more for defining what is needed for the longterm/climate record planning, not that momentary science needs of a user. Various parts of the PCCS matrix apply to different levels of data. Certain users will only be interested in some of the items.
2) Use Cases
- The use cases illustrate the need for each component of the PCCS. The list in the matrix isn’t comprehensive.
- What are thing ESIP things that should be moved forward with PCCS, vs. Agnecy, etc. issues.
- At what point is this going to become a baseline? That would mean some stability to the document.
