Phase 1 of the AIP demonstrated GEO Portal and Clearinghouse solutions. Phase 2 will establish "operational, research and technical exemplars," services that support the GEOSS Societal Benefit Areas (application domains).
The CFP invites GEO Members and Participating Organisations to: - Provide components and services relevant to GEOSS "Societal Benefit Areas" (application domains). - Participate in interoperability testing of the services including use of the GEOSS Common Infrastructure Components in order to validate the architecture. - Participate in the collaborative refinement of societal benefit scenarios to guide testing, demonstrations and operations of interoperable services.
Responses to the CFP are requested by 1 September 2008 to support a planning workshop scheduled for 25-26 September 2008 in Boulder (CO, USA). The OGC efforts in AIP is supported by the European Commission, Northrop Grumman, and ERDAS. The CFP document is available at http://www.earthobservations.org/geoss_imp.shtml.
