Mapping between STC Road Map Activities and Stakeholders
The STC roadmap presents a set of activities grouped under two headings, which can be mapped to the objectives:
Actively engage and incorporate S&T communities in developing GEOSS
No.
| Description
| Stakeholders
| Representatives
| 1a
|
Revolving scientific review of each Work Plan, starting with the current work plan for 2009-2011 on grounds of scientific and technological soundness and completeness against the outstanding scientific questions and challenges in each of the SBAs.
| Funding agencies, Task Leads, Committees,
|
| 1b
|
Implement review indicators in the M&E Framework to ensure that activities in individual GEO Tasks and Sub-Tasks meet the applicable scientific and technological standards.
|
|
| 1c
|
Assess the requirement for continuity and long-term monitoring by Earth observation systems of essential data from GEOSS components.
|
|
| 1d
|
Ensure state-of-the-art technology in the GEOSS Common Infrastructure (GCI) and Observation Infrastructures.
|
|
| 1e
|
Respond to S&T needs and priorities in Earth observation for GEOSS.
|
|
|
Create incentives and promote GEO in S&T communities
No.
| Description
| Stakeholders
| Representatives
| 2a
|
Get GEO/GEOSS better acknowledged in the scientific community.
|
|
| 2b
|
Build a "GEO label" to recognise the scientific relevance, quality, acceptance and societal needs for activities in support of GEOSS.
|
|
| 2c
|
Build awareness of GEO and GEOSS in the different S&T communities, within the scope of GEOSS development. (From 2009 on, included in Task ST-09-02.)
|
|
| 2d
|
Show GEOSS at work with a set of compelling examples demonstrating how GEOSS serves the S&T communities in their work.
|
|
| 2e
|
Enhance registration of scientific data sets as an important indicator for potential contributors from the science communities in assessing the relevance of GEOSS for their work.
|
|
| 2f
|
Identify key commercial partners who could contribute to GEOSS and also benefit from improved observational means, products and services and might therefore support certain S&T development.
|
|
| 2g
|
Catalyze research and development resources to help engage the S&T communities in implementing GEOSS.
