  • Status update on PCCS
  • Baseline the requirements/standards for PCCS

John Moses

  • Two topics from summer meeting:

1) What is the relationship between this work with PCCS and what is already out there

  • There 4 areas/standards already out there that relate to PCCS efforts.
    • Metadata-interoperability in data set search and access
    • Service Web Enablement-sensorML, WCS, WFS, WMS...
    • Consultive Committee on Space Data Systems
    • Library and Publishing Applications
  • Lots of discussion about standards, like ISO’s and others that could be included

The PCCS is more for defining what is needed for the longterm/climate record planning, not that momentary science needs of a user. Various parts of the PCCS matrix apply to different levels of data. Certain users will only be interested in some of the items.

2) Use Cases

  • The use cases illustrate the need for each component of the PCCS. The list in the matrix isn’t comprehensive.
  • What are thing ESIP things that should be moved forward with PCCS, vs. Agnecy, etc. issues.
  • At what point is this going to become a baseline? That would mean some stability to the document.
