Notes

Key points since GEOSS AI Pilot Workshop in early February:

• GEOSS Secretariat is created a process paper for portal, clearinghouse and registries for Pilot
  • • Call for Participation to be released after that process paper is published (late April at earliest)
    • Kick-off probably not until September
• Want to focus on augmenting operational systems by implementing to persistent exemplars
  • 2007 focused on demonstrating capabilities
• Likely to have multiple GEOSS portals and clearinghouses; one instance of registry

• Can air quality community provide persistent services for GEOSS pilot
  • how can GEOSS pilot help AQ community find a process for achieving persistent network

• CFP would identify a specific decision making entity (in agency)
• but can have parallel threads that enables diverse users of architecture
• Terry: sending email to European partners for feedback on scenario
• Frank: DoD smoke product (global) for which he will provide information as possible input to pilot
• Look at integration of multiple "local" data sources with global sources
