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 Provider 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

• AQ Sessions at Winter ESIP Federation Meeting
