GEO 2009-2011 WP – Recommendations on Tasks

Management

Prepared by: Ivan PETITEVILLE (CEOS , ESA) GEO ADC Co-Chair


Slide # 2

Objective

• To make recommendations for:

– the 2009 Core Tasks

– the tasks monitoring by ADC,

– the coordination with committees,


Slide # 3

Introduction –

GEO 2009-2011 WP


Slide # 4

2009-2011 WP Characteristics• Smaller number of tasks

– V2 version contains 36 overarching Tasks (standalone task or set of sub-tasks)

• GEOSS Operational Phase – first phase of GEOSS development (2005-2008), focused on:

• designing the core architecture components, • building the GEO community • engaging countries and organizations,

– coming phase (2009-2011) to focus on putting the components of GEOSS into place and to insure a level of operations that guaranties a good service to users

• Enhanced user driven approach: – Role of users and Communities of Practice – taking full account of the IGOS

transition into GEO.

• Cross-cutting: particular attention on how cross-cutting nature of Tasks across the Societal Benefit Areas (SBAs) of GEOSS.


Slide # 5

2009-2011 WP Structure

• Two parts closely linked and fully complementary;

• Part I, “A Transverse GEOSS”, – Focus on the fundamental, cross-cutting components of GEOSS

• Part II, “The nine GEOSS Societal Benefit Areas”, – describes the services and end-to-end systems that support decision

making in each of the societal benefit areas.

Slide # 12

Recommendations for 2009 Core Tasks


Slide # 13

What is a “Core Task” ?

• Few definitions possible: 1. Task which outcome(s) could prevent GEOSS to

serve the end-users correctly if missing, badly implemented or down during operation.• E.g. GEO Web Portal, .., GEOSS Data Sharing Principles

2. Task that regularly addressed by the Co-Chairs• E.g. GEO Best Practices Registry

3. Task that should be implemented in top priority because its successful completion is expected for a specific event e.g. GEO Plenary • E.g. all the elements needed to demo an end-to-end

Disaster Management service from data sensing down to decision-making support tools.


Slide # 14

What is expected from ADC ?

• Extracts from GEO 2009-2011 WP v2:– Committee will need to take additional measures to

ensure that GEOSS progresses to the next level and that this progress is recognized by Ministers at the next GEO Summit.

– The ADC has a particularly important role in guiding the Tasks relating to the GEOSS Common Infrastructure and to Data Sharing Principles, while other Committees provide additional oversight from their particular perspectives


Slide # 15

Recommended definition for “Core Task”

• Given the time constraint and workload of during the ADC meetings, it is proposed that definition # 1 is adopted (see slide What is a “Core Task” ?):

– Task which outcome(s) could prevent GEOSS to serve the end-users correctly if missing, badly implemented or down during operation.


Slide # 16

Recommended “Core Tasks” for the ADC

• It is proposed to focus on the Transverse tasks

– see next slides, tasks proposed as “Core Tasks” are highlighted in bold red.

Slide # 21

Rational for selected Core Tasks (1/3)

1. Enabling Deployment of a GEOSS Architecture & 2. GEOSS Architecture Implementation Pilot (former AR-07-

01 and AR-07-02)

– if GEO Web Portal, Clearinghouse, or Registries (component, service, standard, special arrangements) are not working properly, the providers cannot register their contribution to GEOSS and the users cannot discover what they look for in GEOSS.

3. GEOSS Data Sharing Principles (former DA-06-01)

– If data cannot be accessed at the conditions described in the Data Sharing Principles Guidelines, the transfer of both data and information can become a barrier to the generation and distribution of data to the end-users.


Slide # 22


4. GEOSS Quality Assurance Strategy (former DA-06-02)

– If the various sources of observation (both in-situ and space sensors) are not properly (inter)-calibrated, the accuracy of the measurements becomes uncertain or unknown, making the end products useless.

5. Data, Metadata and Products Harmonisation (former DA-06-04)

– Incompatibilities in formats and protocols while exchanging and merging data could prevent the generation of useful information for the end-users

6. Ontology and Taxonomy Development• Difference in terminology could also lead to conflicts & errors

while exchanging information and data.


Slide # 23


7. AR-06-11: Radio Frequency Protection– The use for other purposes of radio frequency

currently used by space sensors, could prevent several space instruments to observe the Earth limiting considerably the products & information for the end-users.

8. CB-06-04: GEONETCast– Without GEONETCast, end users from countries

with no or limited Internet access will never receive the information they need


Slide # 24

Recommendation for ADC monitoring


Slide # 25

Observations

• Past ADC meetings have shown that monitoring all tasks assigned to ADC, can be fastidious due to the lack of reporting for some tasks.

• New WP 2009-2001 contains two distinct parts (1.Transverse tasks, 2. SBAs tasks) but ADC is not the only committee having interest in part 1: e.g. contains CB tasks,


Slide # 26

Proposals

• ADC Core tasks have to be monitored closely. Systematic status reports during ADC meetings

• Other tasks are reported during ADC meeting, only if either the GEO Task POC is present (or his/her delegate) or someone present agrees to present on his/her behalf

• Priority in reporting on following tasks and their associated sub-tasks (see next slide Tasks to be monitored in priority)

../..


Slide # 27

Tasks to be monitored in priority

1.1 COMMON INFRASTRUCTURE– AR-09-01: GEOSS Common Infrastructure (GCI)– CB-06-04: GEONETCast – CB-09-01: Infrastructure Development and Technology Transfer for

Information Access – DA-09-01: Data Management

1.2 COORDINATED OBSERVATION SYSTEMS – AR-06-11: Radio Frequency Protection – AR-09-02: Connecting Observation Systems for GEOSS – AR-09-03: Advocating for Sustained Observing Systems

1.3 CROSS-CUTTING DATA SETS – DA-09-02: Data Integration and Analysis– DA-09-03: Global Data Sets – DA-09-04: Socio-Economic Indicators– DA-09-05: Global Carbon Observation and Analysis System


Slide # 28

Coordination with Committees


Slide # 29

Transverse Tasks and Committees

• Role of GEO Committees has evolved.

• ADC is not the only committee anymore dealing with transverse tasks. CBC, UIC and STC have more cross-cutting mandates to ensure that GEOSS fully reflects user needs and the best science and technology available.

• ADC: – Guide the Tasks relating to the GEOSS Common Infrastructure and to Data Sharing Principles,

while other Committees provide additional oversight from their particular perspectives. – Oversees the construction of the GEOSS architecture and focuses on a specific set of Tasks.

• UIC: – Assess needs and requirements of end users. Ensure that user needs are reflected in the Work

Plan Tasks. – User groups need to be engaged actively in the design and construction of GEOSS so that it

delivers what they truly need • CBC:

– promotes the capacity of both the providers and users to engage in GEOSS; – focuses on certain Tasks but also confirms more broadly that all Tasks contribute to building

capacity.


Slide # 30

Closer to other Committees.. Closer to Providers & Users

• More than ever before ADC needs to iterate with other Committees on transverse tasks including tasks aiming at implementing and putting in operations the GCI components.

• More than ever feedback and dialog with both Providers & Users is needed to improve the services provided by the GCI components


Slide # 31

How to better coordinate ?

• Invite other Committees to attend ADC meetings

• Invite Communities of Practice.

• Organize workshops


Slide # 32

• The GEOSS Common Infrastructure (GCI) consists of a web-based portal, a clearinghouse for searching data, information and services, registries containing information about GEOSS components and associated standards and best practices. It requires specific contributions from each Committee.

• During the first year of the Work Plan, these contributions will be made via the GCI Initial Operating Capacity (IOC) Task Force. The CBC will contribute to the GCI by ensuring the proper development of the capacity-building components of the GEO Portal. In parallel the STC will ensure that the GCI reflects the best scientific knowledge and technologies available. Finally, the UIC will ensure that the GCI is providing the data sets, products and tools that users need.

• The development and implementation of the GEO Data Sharing Principles should also be a key priority for all Committees during the first two years of Work Plan implementation – in order to build full consensus of GEO Members and Participating Organizations for adoption at the GEO-VII Plenary and Ministerial Summit in 2010.
