• State of play @ Telascience
  • Which servers and other resources are available or in use?
  • State of currently hosted data sets: BMNG, VMap0, ?
  • Plans for future data sets: LandSat, ?
  • does everyone who wants access know where to look
• Update on geometadata generation utilities
  • http://project.knowledgeforge.net/geometa/trac/
• How to express "accuracy" and "quality" of geodata in metadata? Prior art required

<bitner> perhaps keep the geonerdy representations in the metadata, but

build a catalogue of use scenarios and as Geo-Professionals determine

what we feel are the appropriate scale numbers or ground error numbers

are appropriate for those

• Next steps for formalising dclite4g schema
  • Extracting something specification-like from Geodata Metadata Requirements
  • Implementations
• We will need to replace the http://geodata.osgeo.org/ website soon - any suggestions for a shiny new one, both form and content would be appreciated
