2. GEOSS Enterprise Viewpoint

3. GEOSS Enterprise Viewpoint
GEOSS connects Observations to Decisions

4. GEOSS Architecture Concepts
• System of Systems
– Participating systems are autonomous
– Shared vision
• Open
– Interoperability through open standards
– GEOSS Data Sharing Principles
• Evolutionary Development
– Agile/Scrum iterative development sprints
– Emergent architecture captured in viewpoints

7. Observations
• GEOSS Common Infrastructure (GCI)
– Portal for identity
– Broker/clearinghouse across communities
• Architecture and Data Committee
– Architecture governance, e.g., GCI
– Architecture guidance: AIP sprints and SIF
• Domain (SBA) Integrators
– People that know both IT and Science
– Key to building domain communities on the
common architecture
