the geoss interoperability process Pilot Project ip3
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2009Co-Authors: Siri Jodha Singh Khalsa, Stefano Nativi, Gary N GellerAbstract:There is an ever-increasing need to integrate knowledge from the diverse disciplines engaged in studying the constituent parts of the complex Earth system. With the emergence of the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), which is bringing together thousands of previously isolated Earth observing systems, the necessity of establishing methods that will help in the integration of varied discipline information systems becomes even more urgent. The Group on Earth Observations (GEO) was established to oversee the creation of GEOSS which seeks to advance the convergence of Earth observing systems based on interoperability arrangements agreed to by consensus. We describe the specific approaches that GEO has proposed for achieving interoperability among its component systems and give an overview of the GEOSS Interoperability Process Pilot Project (IP3). The IP3 is helping to develop an advanced information infrastructure that supports the formation and operation of Earth System Science communities based on cross-disciplinary information exchange. This means moving from discipline-specific monolithic data-centric systems toward modular service-oriented information systems. GEOSS seeks to provide scientists, researchers, and decision makers with a persistent set of independent but interoperable information services that can be applied to address many pressing societal issues. The IP3 is furthering this cause by Piloting a framework for multidisciplinary knowledge integration.

IGARSS - The GEOSS interoperability process Pilot Project
2007 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2007Co-Authors: Siri Jodha Singh Khalsa, Stefano Nativi, T. Ahern, Ryosuke Shibasaki, D. ThomasAbstract:We describe approaches that the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) is employing to achieve interoperability among its component systems and give an overview of the GEOSS Interoperability Process Pilot Project (IP3). The IP3 is contributing to the development of the GEOSS architecture by exercising core GEOSS components and processes.

Regulating a Pilot Project in the Absence of Legislation Specific to Carbon Storage
Energy Procedia, 2013Co-Authors: Namiko RanasingheAbstract:AbstractThe CO2CRC Otway Project was initiated in 2004 as a first of a kind Pilot Project when there was no legislation for regulating Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) activities. After much deliberations on how this Project was going to be regulated in 2006 and the preparation of documents for regulatory approvals in late 2006 and 2007, the Project came into operation in April 2008 with approval from three key authorities.This paper sets out the journey of how the Otway Project, a Pilot carbon storage Project, was approved in the absence of legislation specific to regulating carbon storage. It covers the challenges of getting a Pilot Project approved through government including:•managing timelines and resources;•clarifying the regulatory framework for a Pilot Project;•ensuring that the Project approvals are fit for purpose;•engaging the right authorities in the Project approvals processes;•allowing adequate time and resources for land access negotiations;•allowing for continuation of Pilot Projects with the development of new legislation;•resolving Project responsibilities and long-term liability prior to Project commencement; and•taking a proactive approach to stakeholder engagement including engaging the media.The Project presented many challenges along the way but these were worked through between the Cooperative Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Technologies (CO2CRC), the operator of the Project and the Victorian Government. With lateral thinking on the regulators’ part and sheer perseverance of Project facilitators in Victorian Government, the Project was delivered putting Victoria on the map as a State making an important contribution to advancing research into greenhouse gas geological storage

Superfund dispute resolution: Pilot Project report
Environmental Impact Assessment Review, 2003Co-Authors: Melissa Shapiro, Daphne De J. GemmillAbstract:Community participation in the Superfund program is an integral, valuable part of the Environmental Protection Agency' s (EPA) overall hazardous waste cleanup program. The EPA is committed to providing communities located near Superfund sites with an opportunity for meaningful participation during all phases of site activities. In fulfilling this commitment, the EPA has developed a variety of community relations techniques, and is considering the use of additional approaches for working with communities during Superfund cleanup actions. This Pilot Project evaluated the use of one such additional approach--the use of dispute resolution processes---at three Superfund sites. The selected sites represented distinctly different sets of issues and problems, yet in each case, facilitation* helped the EPA define and address certain community relations problems. The result varied depending on the problem area chosen for facilitation.
