GEO Call for Participation in GEOSSPilot

OGC has announced that a Call for Participation (CFP) in Phase 2 of the GEOSS (Global Earth Observation System of Systems) Architecture Implementation Pilot (AIP) has been issued by the GEO (Group on Earth Observations).

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.
