Data Sharing Post-2015: Some Thoughts Brussels, 12 February 2013

This document discusses the evolution of the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) into a "Community of Communities" framework. Alan Edwards from the European Commission emphasizes the importance of community-based observatories that empower citizens to monitor their environment. By integrating diverse service providers, including public and private sectors, this approach enhances in-situ monitoring and promotes open data sharing. The shift from systems to communities aims to leverage collective efforts, ensuring decisions are informed by comprehensive Earth observations while maximizing societal benefits through free and open data access.

  1. Data Sharing Post-2015:Some ThoughtsBrussels, 12 February 2013 Alan EDWARDS Earth Observation Sector - Management of Natural Resources Unit Directorate Environment Directorate General Research & Innovation EUROPEAN COMMISSION Alan.Edwards@ec.europa.eu

  2. Should the GEOSS evolve from a "System of Systems" To a"Community of Communities" • Philosophy? DSWG Meeting 12/02/2013

  3. Why consider Communities? Society naturally organises itself to work within a "community framework", as communities recognise that they can derive much greater value if their individual efforts can be brought together within a "Community framework". Citizens' Observatories Workshop 29/01/2013

  4. Global Earth Observation System of Systems Citizens' Observatories Workshop 29/01/2013

  5. A "Community of Communities" GEOSS DSWG Meeting 12/02/2013

  6. Community-based Observatories • A wide range of "Service Providers", (or "systems") are required within any given community; • Public sector "systems", both remote sensing and in-situ • Private sector "systems; • Humanities and socio-economic "systems"; • CITIZENS' OBSERVATORIES • Etc., etc. DSWG Meeting 12/02/2013

  7. For the Commission Developing Citizens' Observatories is a crucial NEXT STEP! They can empower communities with the capability to monitor and report on their environment; They can enable communities to access the information they need in an understandable & readilyuseable form. They have the potential to enormously enhance our in-situ monitoring capability; And at the same time limit the charge on the public purse! A Win-Win situation! (Note: the public purse must continue to bear the costs for baseline in-situ observation networks. These networks are required, e.g., for calibration.) DSWG Meeting 12/02/2013

  8. A "Community of Communities" GEOSS • Such a framework: • builds on existing capacities, enhancing communities, whilst respecting their mandates and not supplanting them; • offers a high level of flexibility; • is open to new innovations as technology evolves,(so we can benefit from the next revolution!); • provides the potential for interoperability with cultural, social and economic information that will ultimately play a role in decision making. DSWG Meeting 12/02/2013

  9. What are the implications for the GEOSS? That the current vision for the GEOSS changes from:“realising a future wherein decisions and actions for the benefit of humankind are informed by coordinated, comprehensive and sustained Earth observations and information”, to “realising a future wherein the decisions and actions of humankind are informed by coordinated, comprehensive and sustained Earth observations and information”. DSWG Meeting 12/02/2013

  10. And for Data Sharing? That the societal benefits of Earth observations can only be achieved by the Full (FREE?), Open and Unrestricted Discovery, Access, andINTEROPERABLEUse, Re-use and Re-dissemination of Documented Metadata, Data and Products of Known Quality with Minimum Time Delay DSWG Meeting 12/02/2013
