How can we get better feedback during Implementation Review? From Operational Review? • Report back from SPG members on any notable community engagement activitie • How to engage community from measurement systems/long term records vs mission systems • GEOSS role? | |
| 5:00 | 5:30 | Work plan for next 12 months • Community engagement • More rfcs • Working more closely with other ESDSWG groups • Improving the Standards Process | |

| | | Web Services Integration Panel Discussion | |
| 9:30 | 10:30 | Web Services Integration: Progress and Challenges • Participants o Rudy Husar: DataFed Air Quality Data & Services o Oscar Castaneda: A Global Tropical Forest Information Center - TRFIC-2 o Brian Wilson: GENESIS-II: Data Fusion and Analysis for Multi-Sensor Earth System Science o Eric Malaret: Rapid Environmental Assessment Composition Tools (REACT) and the WWW Information Processing Environment (WIPE) o Robin Pfister: The EOS Clearing House (ECHO) • Summary o Web services provide a new way to deliver Earth science information. This session will provide several case studies of implementing web services to deliver Earth science information. The participants will provide an overview of the Earth science data and web services they offer, the challenges they faced integrating web services into their system, and the benefits they have observed. TIWG Breakout Session | |
| 1:00 | 2:30 | Web Services Infusion Roadmap • Participants o All attendees, including participants from the morning web services integration case studies. • Summary o Web services are subject to the “network effect”, where the value of the technology increases geometrically with the number of participants who have adopted the technology. This session will work to create a “roadmap” for deploying web services. Consideration will be give to infrastructure components that are needed to enable web services (e.g., service directories), reasonable timelines for deploying needed capabilities, and NASA’s role in facilitating the deploying of this valuable technology. | |
| 2:45 | 3:45 | ECHO- A Case Study for Technology Infusion • Participants o Robin Pfister/Michael Burnett, Discussion Lead o All attendees • Summary o ECHO is an excellent example of infusing a new technology into the Earth science community. The ECHO team will lead a discussion of the various barriers to infusion, both sociological and technical, using ECHO experiences as a specific case study and inviting discussion by attendees of related barriers and solutions from their experience. | |
| 4:00 | 5:00 | Technology Infusion Recommendations • Participants o Rob Raskin, Discussion Lead o All attendees • Summary o NASA is in a unique position to facilitate the infusion of key technologies needed to reach the goals set out in the Earth science strategic plan. Based on the discussions above, the group will formulate additional recommendations on actions NASA can take to accelerate technology infusion. | |
