GROUP DISCUSSION
Name of AQCoP
- Recommend that we include “Atmospheric Composition” in name
- Need to let GEO know about this change
- Alert ESIP?
AQCoP Governance
- Possible telecon to formalize the governance - early February?
- Need some governance in place before we call another meeting of the AQCoP
- In addition to “top-down” structure, need “bottom up” governance
- Need technical committee to deal with network issues: data catalog, metadata…
- Perhaps defining these tasks as working groups?
- High-level umbrella steering group necessary for strategic planning and to secure resources
- Need improved forum for communication and coordination
- Suggestion to nominate 2 interim chairs or conveners to help organize meetings and coordinate efforts
Proposed Agenda - Ann Keane & Community
Session1: January 10 8:30-10:00 GMT-5
- Introduction to the GEO AQ CoP - Rudy Husar
- 10 minute presentations on the current state of data services and data needs from
- Juelich - Martin Schultz
- DataFed - Rudy Husar
- ECCAD - Claire Granier
- NILU
- NOAA - Ann Keane, WCS
- GEO AQ Data Network: Servers and Clients on the Network; Catalog; Client-Server Data Flow - Rudy Husar
- NOAA/Greg Frost
- EPA/Terry Keating
- UNC/Uma Shankar
- Discussion of CoP Governance and issues raised during the session. To be continued in the second session.
Some of topics to cover might be:
- what data is provided
- what technologies are used
- who is using the data for what
- what difficulties have you encountered
- what is needed for future development
Session2: January 10 10:30-12:00 GMT-5
This session will cover issues raised in the first session. Some potential topics:
- Issues faced by modelers in accessing data services.
- Issues of accessing data services
- Issues of publishing data services
- Existing metadata standards and conventions
- Use cases for the existing services
- Discussion of technologies for access to large data for various types of post-processing web services. The IRODS group may be presenting at ESIP as well.
- How to proceed with metadata data developments started in Dublin.
- Discussion of the next versions of WCS and DAP.
- Data conventions for distributing point data.
- Data catalog registration and search access. Does AQCoP need a faceted search i.e. [1]?
The goal of these two sessions will be to gain a better understanding of how the community is working and what work needs to be done to meet the broader scientific priorities.
