[edit] Current and Near Future AQ Information System of Systems
- Goals of AQ Information Systems is to Aid:
- Provide Sataus and Trand info
- Monitoring Progress
- Informing and Educate the Public
- Formulating Policy and
- .......
- Specific Objectives of IT Technoloies is to Facilitate the 5 Cs:
- Cooperation - Sharing Resources, Tools. Collection of Resources - Foraml Catalogs (GCMD, ESG), Web Search (Google, del.icio.us, Flickr), User submissions
- Coordination - Community webplaces; Goals White paper (wiki); Status indicators; ToDo lists; Calendars
- Communication - Discussion forum - Reports, Blogs, Discussion pages,
- Competition - Market place (??)
- Coopetition - Where to cooperate, where to compete
Amazon Simple Scalable Storage (S3)
[edit] ..Current Situation
- Observational an model data are emegrin on the internet; large resitance to usage ; poor integration; Dedicated 'Stove Pipe' Systems -> Stiff and limited decision support
[edit] ..Near-Term Furure
- Diverse users, More sensory/model data-GEOSS; Extensive integration and 'mashing'-Web 2.0; Network effect ->Responsive decisin support
[edit] ..Possible Group Activites to Get There
- ESIP AQ workgroups, wiki workspace for resource collection, sharing and discussion
- White paper prepared by an ad hoc virtual workgroup (using open collaborative technolologies
- Recruting and presentation venues: GEOSS User Workshop, Jul 2006, Denver; Fall AGU, Dec 2006, San Francisco; HTAP Workshop (?)
- Interop Experiments (GALEON, GSN, NASA)
- Multidimensional WCS Confluence Augmenting Geoserver's WCS to serve 3D or 4D geospatial data - gridded meterological input, which can be applied in oceanography, climate change, and other scientific disciplines.
- Rapid Prototyping Plaforms; Google (rapid, continuous upgrades, sloppy) or Microsoft (slow, perfection) philosophy?
- Focused app areas: Real-time AQ Monitoring Consoles; Informing the Public; Regulatory Event Analysis
[edit] ..White Paper
- Purpose: Community assessment of AQ IT; User feedback to GEOSS Architecture; Aid to agency planners
- Group Approach: White paper - we all participate; we all use it in for our respective environment, we all benefit
[edit] AQ Data System Architectures
[edit] ..User-Driven: User Drives Design; Info Value (to the User) is the Measure
[edit] ..Distributed: Structure Extends over Many Dimensions
[edit] ..Loosely Couppled: Software Components, System of Systems, Architcture of Participation
[edit] Information Technologies
[edit] ..Software Components: Data as Service, Web Services
[edit] ..Interoperability Technologies: Standards/Conventions, Wrappers and Adopters, Workflow Engines
[edit] ..Web 2.0 Technologies: Searching, Tagging, RSS, AJAX, O'Riley for AQ...
[edit] Challenges
[edit] ..Human Factors
- The 5 C's: Communication, Coordination, Cooperation, Competion, Coopetition
- Attracting user participation
[edit] ..Architecture
- Maximize the 'Network Effect'....
[edit] ..Technologies
- Grasping and harnessing Web 2.0
