Linking Earth Observations to Societal Benefits Earth System Models • Oceans • Ice • Land • Atmosphere • Solid Earth • Biosphere Decision Support Interoperability and standards Assessments Decision Support Systems Societal Benefits Policy Decisions Earth Observation Systems • Remotely-sensed • In situ On-going feedback to optimize value and reduce gaps 3 3

GEOSS Interoperability Arrangements - From the GEOSS 10 Year Plan Reference Document - • Interoperability through open interfaces – Interoperability specifications agreed to among contributing systems – Access to data and information through service interfaces • Open standards and intellectual property rights – GEOSS adopting standards; agreed upon by consensus, preference to formal international standards – GEOSS will not require commercial or proprietary standards – Multiple software implementations compliant with the open standards should exist – Goal is that at least one of the implementations should be available to all implementers "royalty-free"

Workshop Objectives • Meet the GEO aim of interoperability of existing and new systems that provide Earth observations • Build on prior GEO activities including: – GCI Architecture Workshop 2008 – SIF Interoperability Workshops – GEO Sensor Web Workshops • Support similar discussions for GEOSS Model Web • These activities are elements of GEO Task IN-05 "GEOSS Design and Interoperability".

Task IN-05: GEOSS Design and Interoperability • IN-05 Priority Action: develop a Technical Design of GEOSS and Contributed Resources – "GEOSS architecture beyond GCI” – registries, information types, predictive models, sensor webs, software/applications, and data, system interfaces, and services • Confirm architecture through value-added deployments with SBAs – E. g. Showcases for EO Ministerial • Future Products Workshop as major contribution to IN -05 objectives
