Summary of Action Items
Notes:
1
Acceptance of Agenda, Minutes of M2 (see
draft minutes
), and Action Items
(see
AI List
).
The draft agenda was accepted without changes. There were no
comments on the minutes of M2 (see
draft minutes
).
A
list of the Action Items
was made available prior to the telecon. The list was
briefly discussed.
Concerning
Action Item
ST2-M2-9:
Hans-Peter Plag
will updated the draft GEO label document based on the discussion during the ST-09-02 Task Team meeting and
distribute the document to the Task team for comments.
Responsible:
Hans-Peter Plag,
Deadline:
2010-10-31,
Hans-Peter Plag
reported that the revision of the document was delayed.

Brief report from the GEO Plenary and Exhibition
Hans-Peter Plag
started by informing the participants that the GEOSS Portfolio for Science and Technology had been
compiled before the meetings in Beijing and featured during the Exhibition. A total of eight examples
were featured. Responses were generally positive.
He also reported that the GEO Label had been mentioned several times during the Plenary and the Ministerial,
and its importance for GEO had been emphasized.
Stuart Marsh
considered the fact that Russia committed during the meetings to give away data as a change in direction
of travel of Russia. Concerning the STC presentation to the Plenary, he pointed out that this was a
team effort that was well received. Likewise, the STC booth was a success. The ESA Science report was also
well received by the meeting participants.
Russell Lefevre
pointed out that the IEEE booth featured an EGIDA poster and the EGIDA flyers, which were distributed at the
STC booth, were popular.
It was suggested to use the GEOSS Portfolio for Science and Technology for further promotion of GEOSS.

The GEOSS Portfolio for Science and Technology
Hans-Peter Plag
introduced the GEOSS Portfolio for Science and Technology, which had been compiled as a result
of Subactivity 3.3. A portfolio web page had been set up (see
http://www.geo-tasks.org/geoss_portfolio
). He outlined
the main features of the web page and explained the overall publication concept.
Russell Lefevre
recognized the value of the portfolio for outreach. He recommended that information about the portfolio
is distributed to, e.g., to conference chairs and portfolio flyers are made available. This would
bring GEOSS and the STC into the perception of organizers.
Ian Mccallum
asked how the portfolio can be changed in the future.
Hans-Peter Plag
explained that the most important changes
would be to increase the number of examples, with the goal being at least two examples per SBA. He asked the
participants to volunteer for solicitation of further examples. This resulted in:
Action Item
ST2-T1-1:
Russell Lefevre
will solicit a proposal of a compelling example for the GEOSS portfolio for Science and Technology
in the Energy SBA.
Responsible:
Russell Lefevre,
Deadline:
2011-01-15.
Action Item
ST2-T1-2:
Stuart Marsh
and
Hans-Peter Plag
will prepare a proposal of a compelling example for the GEOSS portfolio for Science and
Technology in the Disaster SBA.
Responsible:
Stuart Marsh,
Hans-Peter Plag,
Deadline:
2011-01-15.

GEOSS Citation Standard
Ian Mccallum
reported that he was following up the related AI from the Rome Meeting. He was preparing a draft.
Once done, he would be getting in contact with
Joan Maso.
Hans-Peter Plag
pointed out that the current considerations for data citation did not explicitly consider ethical aspects.
In particular, the issue of what should be considered plagiarism was not clarified as it concerns the use of data
provided by others.
5
Any other business
Stuart Marsh
requested that the relationship of the Task with EGDIA is clarified, and he expressed the
desire that there would be greater synergy between these two communities.
Hans-Peter Plag
expressed his concerns that
EGIDA would result in duplication and even some competition with the Task Team, if better coordination could not be
achieved. It was pointed out that
Stuart Marsh,
Russell Lefevre,
Ian Mccallum,
Joan Maso,
Paula Diaz,
Hans-Peter Plag,
and others were already in both
teams and thus a good coordination should not be too difficult to be achieved.
6
Date and Time of the Monthly Telecons
It was agreed that a telecon in December would be difficult to organize due to the holiday season.
Action Item
ST2-T1-3:
Hans-Peter Plag
will set up a doodle poll to find a date in January 2011 for the ST2-T2.
Responsible:
Hans-Peter Plag,
Deadline:
