OGC Release Videos of GEOSS Interoperability Demo
01 July 2009, 2:25pm
Wayland, MA, July 1, 2009. The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC®)has posted videos of demonstrations of Phase 2 of the GEOSS
Architecture Implementation Pilot (AIP-2) on the OGC website at the link below.
The AIP-2 pilot activity, which began in September 2008, is a project of the GEO (Group on Earth Observations) AR-09-01b Task Team. AIP-1 demonstrated GEO Portal and Clearinghouse solutions. AIP-2 established "operational, research and technical exemplars", services that support several of the GEOSS Societal Benefit Areas (SBAs): Disaster Management, Biodiversity and Climate Change, Air Quality and Health, and Renewable Energy. AIP-2 Engineering Reports will be made available to the GEOSS Best Practice Registry for use by organizations in and outside of GEOSS.
GEO Members and Participating Organizations provided components and services relevant to SBAs. They participated in interoperability testing of the services to validate the architecture, and in the collaborative refinement of societal benefit scenarios to guide testing, demonstrations and operations of interoperable services.
AIP-2 developed a reusable process for Societal Benefit Areas to utilize the GCI. This process supports efficient communication and also implementation of SBA requirements and work processes into the informatics technology of the GCI. GCI is built upon GEOSS
Interoperability Arrangements, including several OGC standards.
Ivan Deloatch, USGS and co-chair of the GEO Architecture and Data Committee, commented that "The GEOSS process depends upon contributions from many organizations to build the system of systems.
OGC has led the AIP process of AIP bringing together the contributed components in to a pilot-level capability that can now be considered for augmenting the GEOSS initial operating capability."

Each month we select a hot topic and a leading figure in the industry to write about it.A suggested new aspect for the New Generation of Digital Earth - Human behaviour and decision making
Based on harmonised methodology, survey on decision making mechanisms and identification of decision nodal points, monitoring and analysis of the socio-economic and environmental impact of power, the influence of human interest groups from local to global should be also part of the aspects in the new generation Digital Earth.
