A system of systems:
That use ongoing initiatives of modeling/observing earth systems.
Allow archiving/access & exchange of information Consider user requirements. Envisage socio-economic benefits. Designed on international basis and open for all.

The Earth Observation The Earth Observation SummitSummit
Washington DC, July 31, 2003Washington DC, July 31, 2003The Summit represented a high level governmental/political
commitment to move toward a comprehensive, coordinated, global network:
• Issued declaration to support this concept
• Launched development of 10-year implementation plan
• Established the ad hoc intergovernmental Group on Earth Observations (GEO) with 4 Co-Chairs:1) U.S. – Vice Admiral Conrad C. Lautenbacher Jr.,
AdministratorNational Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA)2) EC – Director General Achilleas Mitsos
Directorate General for Research 3) Japan – Mr. Akio Yuki, Deputy Minister, Ministry of
Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT)
4) South Africa – Dr. Rob Adam, Director-General, Department of Science and Technology

EO Summit DeclarationEO Summit Declaration
Affirmed need for timely, quality, long-term, global information as a basis for sound decision making.
Recognized need to support:
1) Comprehensive, coordinated, sustained Earth observation system of systems;
2) Coordinated effort to address capacity-building needs related to Earth obs;
3) Exchange of observations in a full and open manner with minimum time delay and minimum cost; and
4) Preparation of a 10-year Implementation Plan, building on existing systems and initiatives
1) Framework for Tokyo ministerial, April or May 2004
2) 10-year plan for Brussels ministerial in late 2004.
Established ad hoc Group on Earth Observations (GEO) to develop Plan
Invited governments to join.

It will take time to build the Capacity to deliver each Socio-economic benefit, at National level, at Regional level, at Global level
Each GEOSS Societal Benefit requires a specific configuration of Observations, Data Utilisation capabilities, Architectural capabilities.
All the Socio-economic benefits require a shared, and inter-operable, infrastructure of thematic implementations.
The initial implementations (and the build-up phases) for the GEOSS Themes are driven by the
– schedules for data availability
– schedules for development of data utilisation
