Every other Friday 1:30PM Eastern;
Phone: 866-489-0573;
Meeting Code: *2279431*
Topics: (agenda open to community interests - please list topics below)
Current Cluster Activities
McCabe: Background on GEO UIC-ADC "May 5, 2008 Toronto Workshop on User Validation of GEOSS Architecture using the Air Quality Scenario"
RHusar Comment:
- GEOSS is focused on architecture (registering services and data); no equivalent approach for the people connectivity(humanware, community of practice?)
- GEOSS is composed of autonomous activities. The isolation of these activities and the lack of transparency/visibility makes it difficult to create sharing, reuse, collaboration...
- Question to the ESIP AQ: How can we promote the mutual support of various voluntary GEOSS activities?...Possible steps:
- Start with mutual awareness of existence, activities....a role for the AQ Cluster?
- Begin collaboration by openness, sharing of respective resources... the Cluster as a role model?
- Pursue common goals through coordinated activities ... e.g. AIP Scenario development including ESIP-AQ; EPA/NASA; GEOSS ADC; UIC and other stakeholders
- Suggest broadening 'User' to include 'Stakeholders'. More elaboration follows..
Neil Frank, EPA: Exceptional Event - Operational AQ Scenario candidate
Event Analysis - Evidence gathering, integration - Operational.
Other Activities
D. Arctur: GEOSS Workshop on Air Quality and Coastal Ecosystems, IGARSS 08, see also Discussion
RHusar Comment: "David, It is delightful to see you taking the initiative with the GEOSS Education/Outreach workshop at IGARSS Boston. Your activity will certainly contribute towards increasing the surface area of exposure and spreading the GEOSS meme".
Question to the ESIP AQ Group: How can we promote the mutual support of various voluntary GEOSS activities?...A: start with making the aware of each other..a task for the ESIP AQ group?
Brian Wilson, JPL: Collaboration of Web Services & AQ Clusters
Stresses opportunities for linking the WS tech group of ESIP with AQ WS tech activities. Wilson is personally interested in contribution to the AIP Pilot.

Architecture Data C: Supports GEO in all architecture and data management aspects of the design, coordination, and implementation of GEOSS for comprehensive, coordinated, and sustained Earth observations
User Interface C: Engages users in the nine SBAs in the development, implementation, and use of a sustained GEOSS that provides the data and information required by user groups on national, regional and global scales. Has a specific goal to address cross-cutting issues by coordinating user communities of practice, ensuring continuity and avoiding duplication.
Science and Technology C: Engages the scientific and technological communities in the development, implementation and use of a sustained GEOSS in order to ensure that GEO has access to sound scientific and technological advice.
Capacity Building C: Supports GEO in strengthening the capability of all countries, in particular developing countries, to use Earth observation data and products in a sustainable manner and to contribute observations and systems to GEOSS.
