EC Grant Agreement no. 282915
GEOSS Interoperability for Weather Ocean and Water
Enhancing the GEOSS Infrastructure for all the Stakeholders
The following demo aims at providing an overview of the UNESCO Ocean showcase, one of the showcases that the
GEOWOW project is implementing. This could contribute to the StS BluePlanet Demonstrator
A new concept of operation for elaborating environmental indicators
The scenario: a Scientist wants to discover and use Ocean ecosystem data and Climate data in GEOSS for fast prototyping of indicators, and produce maps and graphics tailored for policy makers in charge of Ocean Ecosystem Management.
The following is an example tailored around a specific community. GEOWOW produces “enablers” that need to be customized based on the needs of the specific community. What is shown in the presentation is intended to be an example of usage of such enablers within a specific community from their own portal.
In this example, Cloud computing resources are also leveraged.

Discovered data: Community Cloud Sandbox management
From a Community Portal the Scientist selects the geographical area of interest (1) and temporal range (2) to start discovering GEOSS data (3).

The Scientist selects an existing template (set of HW and SW configuration) to create a new Sandbox. This will provide a processing environment where to design and implement the
algorithm to elaborate the new indicator.

ESA and Terradue partners in GEOWOW are currently finalizing the enablers that will allow UNESCO-IOC to develop the previous scenario.
This is a contribution to Blue Planet task which aims at delivering Societal Benefits in multiple SBAs from Ocean observations
FAQs
What happens after a processing is successfully completed?
Repeatability: a sandbox can be stored and up-dated afterwards to scale-up with additional data or to replace the input data with new (e.g. higher quality) ones
Who can access the tools, included the sandboxes?
Policy: the specific Community will customize the enablers and will decide the policy for accessing the tools and the results
What kinds of data are used?
In this specific scenario, the input data are Ocean ecosystem data and Climate data from Earth Science Grid Federation. The community can decide the data policy governing the results, e.g., can decide to register them as GEOSS DataCORE.
