VIEWS
• Washington University in St. Louis

• Better awareness of community interoperability efforts
• Better understanding and use of proposed GEOSS standards
• Standardization of intra- and inter-system data exchange
• Leveraging and reuse of existing resources through service-chaining
• Increased value of existing development investments
• Improved resource availability and decision-making for end users
Slide originally from Shawn McClureCIRA, Colorado State University

• SBA, Communities of Practice, Scenario Sessions
– Disaster Response
– Climate Change and Biodiversity
– Renewable Energy
– Air Quality and Health
• Transverse Technology sessions:
– Catalogues and Clearinghouse
– Service and Dataset Description
– Data Product Access: service, schema, encoding
– Sensors and Models Access: service, schema, encoding
– Workflow for derived product and alert generation
– Clients: portals and applications clients
– Test Facility for Service Registration

• Introduce and organize themselves
• Create an agenda for the session
• Introduce the session at the opening plenary
• Lead the session at the kickoff
• Present the outcomes to the closing plenary
