GEO Strategic Plan 2016 2025 GEO is a

GEO Strategic Plan 2016 -2025 GEO is a coalition of governments and participating organizations having as its mission the implementation of the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) to meet the need for timely, quality long term global information as a basis for sound decision-making. Earth observations from diverse sources, including satellite, airborne, in-situ platforms, and citizen observatories, when integrated together, provide powerful tools for understanding the past and present conditions of Earth systems, as well as the interplay between them.

GEOSS Concept, from the “GEOSS 10 -year Implementation Plan, ” 2005

GEOSS (GEO Strategic Plan 2016 -2025) GEOSS is a set of coordinated, independent Earth observation, information and processing systems that interact and provide access to diverse information for a broad range of users in both public and private sectors. GEOSS links these systems to strengthen the monitoring of the state of the Earth. It facilitates the sharing of environmental data and information collected from the large array of observing systems contributed by countries and organizations within GEO. Further, GEOSS ensures that these data are accessible, of identified quality and provenance, and interoperable to support the development of tools and the delivery of information services. Thus, GEOSS increases our understanding of Earth processes and enhances predictive capabilities that underpin sound decision-making. (GEO Strategic Plan 2016 -2025)

GEOSS (GEO Strategic Plan 2016 -2025) Comprises: • Observation systems • Data and information and processing systems Functions • address user requirements; • acquire observational data; • process data into useful products and services; • find, share, integrate and archive data, metadata and products based on the GEOSS Data Sharing and Data Management Principles; and • monitor performance of functionalities against the defined requirements and intended benefits. Principles • Openness • Effectiveness • Sustainability • Reliability

GEO Strategic Plan 2016 -2025 “It is the opinion of the Secretariat the lack of a clear, concise and (most importantly) shared vision and understanding of, and implementation for GEOSS, and the associated and/or resultant lack of commitment (and contributions) from Members and POs, is creating a situation where, unfortunately, in five or ten years, when the Co-Chair from South Africa, and likely others, asks the same question that was asked in March 2016 -that is, ‘Have we, or are we truly delivering on the vision of a “system of systems” as articulated by the founders of GEO? ’, we may not, anymore than today, have a good answer. ” State of Play of GEOSS 37 th Executive Committee – 6 -7 July 2016

Principles as to interoperability standards: 1) Advocate the use of and support the implementation of international and community standards. (2) Do not impose any existing standard, leaving the multiple GEO Communities of Practice to select and implement the ones they consider most effectively. (3) Support the many standards characterizing the multi-domains covered by GEOSS through the implementation of the mediation/brokering pattern. (4) Maintain and evolve the mediation/brokering capabilities of the GEOSS platform in order to implement the ultimate interoperability standards (the IT landscape changes rapidly) but continuing to support the existing legacy standards.

Fully Functioning GEOSS comprises three main components: 1) The Earth observation and information systems, which GEO Members and Participating Organizations make available for coordination and access; they include both those already available or planned, and those to be defined and developed within the GEO framework; 2) The GEOSS Common Infrastructure (GCI), developed, operated and maintained by GEO, connecting the data and information from the individual systems, and allowing users to search, discover and access these resources; and 3) A set of principles and guidelines on architecture, data sharing, and data management and data quality that enable reliable and integrated use of data, products and tools. (from the Strategic Plan All three components are essential and concurrent for a fully functioning GEOSS. State of Play of GEOSS 37 th Executive Committee – 6 -7 July 2016
