Efforts on L1 top-of-atmosphere interoperability (CV-15) during the first six months of 2019 will provide guidance on the appropriate quality indicators needed to facilitate interoperability. A joint telecon between WGISS and WGCV members is planned for Dec. 6, 2018 during which the topics of data formats and interoperability along with quality indicators in discovery metadata will be discussed with the goal of providing joint Work Plan items to move FDA-12 toward completion at the end of 2019.
WGISS is performing a survey on quality indicators currently used by different sensor families and this has provided a starting point for the list of product formats used in CEOS agencies. The Level 1 interoperability effort (CV-15) is guiding how best to include and define quality/uncertainty parameters.
WGCV contacted the WGISS Chair and Vice Chair and asked for help closing this CEOS Work Plan action. The overlap with WGISS tasks including those related to compiling inventories of existing FDAs, software, and tools. It would be efficient to formally roll this task in with the existing FDA work under WGISS.
Still working to understand how WGCV could complement WGISS activities. We will take advantage of the WGCV-50 meeting that is planned to be joint with WGISS to discuss this further.
