The Group on Earth Observations (GEO) has announced a Call for Participation (CFP) in the 4 th  phase of the GEOSS Architecture Implementation Pilot (AIP-4). The Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. (OGC) provides leadership in AIP-4 and invites OGC members and other organizations to respond to the CFP. The CFP document is available here.

AIP-4 will improve access to GEOSS datasets that support the “Critical Earth Observation Priorities” that have been identified by the GEO User Interface Committee. It will increase the use of these data by building on the accomplishments of prior AIP phases. AIP-4 aims to:

–  Increase on-line access to “Critical Earth Observation Priorities Data Sources”;
–  Ensure datasets are discoverable through the GEOSS Common Infrastructure; and
–  Demonstrate effectiveness of general and specialized software tools for using data.

Responses to this CFP are requested by 8 May 2011. Discussion and clarification of the CFP and the initiation of AIP-4 will be the topic of weekly teleconferences. Agenda and logistics for these telecons are posted here.

The Point of Contact for the AIP task is George Percivall, percivall@opengeospatial.org.
