Transcript Presentation - Group on Earth Observations

“Technology is a valuable tool that has the potential to transform the way we work, can
deliver cost efficiencies, increase transparency, and make the work of an organization more
relevant to what is happening around the world in real time.
When used effectively, technology can accelerate progress toward development goals in
health, food security, climate change, energy and environmental sustainability”.

GEOSS Assets and GCI Usage over time
First half of 2016
More than 3 Million queries
GCI is doubling in 2016 its n. of queries over last year 2015
GCI User Requirements Document & its Road Map
 «Towards GCI User Requirements» document– draft released February 2016
 GCI Contributors feedbacks & comments - March 2016
 Revision/inclusion of comments in the document - April 2016
 Engage the GEO broader community–May 2016
Functionalities:
 Gather needs/ideas on functionalities expected and /or needed from the GCI
 Include identified functionalities needs in the GCI User Requirements
 Convert it into a system requirements document and use it as the tool to monitor
progress and evolution of the GCI to best serve the needs of scientists, citizens,
decision makers, etc…

GCI Content Strategy
 Engage the GEO broader community
Content:
• Identify - Prioritize essential data/resources to be connected (to be registered
and brokered by the GCI) that serve the needs of SBAs applications – Flagships
and Initiatives.
GCI Content Strategy: e.g. Food security and sustainable agriculture
