Participants

• Gerry Creager
• Donna Cote
• Helen Conover
• Marilyn Drewry
• Tony Cook
• Luis Bermudez

Minutes (some notes added - appear as <>)

Major components:

* Data Portal - Eric (or Donna)
* Registry - Helen
* Semantic mediator - Luis
* Data Provider - Gerry
* Sensor - Tony

First round scenarios - implement for Nov demo at OOSTech:
* RegisterProvider
* AggregateData-Pull
* DiscoverData
* Mediate Semantics
< Moved this to  Sequence Diagrams v.1.0 (target version ) >

Interfaces - define these by Sept 6 (telecon):
* getMetadataSummary - portal/registry (Eric and Helen)
 change to getCategorySummary - reflects more what the portal should get from the registry
* getRelatedTerms - portal/mediator, portal/registry (Luis)
< refined - and now appears in the Mediate Semantics sequence diagram >

 queryMetadata  - portal/registry (Helen)
o think about returning metadata in discrete chunks
o could use ebXML RIM, or maybe use SWE or getCapabilities forms (e.g., describe capabilities of data provider)
< changed to getMetadata - added some parameters to think about >

* getData - portal/dataProvider, dataAggregator/dataProvider
o WMS (data preview)
o SWE or WCS/WFS (data)
< changed this in terms of SOS - obseravtionsOfferings - and added a preview of the data call >

* discoverDataProvider - dataAggregator/registry (Helen)
* getMetadata - dataAggregator/registry, registry/provider
o SWE describeSensor, describeSystem
< Changed to reflect SOS >
* Register - dataProvider/registry (Helen)

Important dates:
Sept 6 review interfaces - settle for proposed interfaces for what is going to be implemented for v.1.0
Sept 7  send email about interfaces and use cases for v 1.0 - need to involve more participants
Sept 20 some initial service implementations: test of the interfaces with test data (e.g. unit tests) - meeting to discuss what we can do or refine for netxt meeting
Sept 27 Follow up - about the implementation
October 4 - Follow up - about the implementation. Concentrate now in the unified test -
Oct 11 System -unified implementation - follow up  Nov demonow
Oct 18 - Follow up - unified system implementation
Oct 25 - Follow up - unified system implementation
Nov 1 - Follow up - unified system  implementation
