Open Geo-Social API
Empowers People to Quickly Discover, Share and
Mimic to Turn [Earth Science Data] Products Into
[Societal] Actionable Information.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/opengeosocial-apr16-2014-140418113312-phpapp02/75/Open-Geo-Social-API-and-Screencast-3-2048.jpg)

Open Geo-Social API (and Screencast)
This document discusses the development of an open geo-social API that would allow users to discover, share, and generate science-based data products for societal benefit. It aims to make earth science data more accessible and useful to disadvantaged users through a simple API that shields users from technical details. Example products mentioned include algae bloom maps, flood maps, and drought maps. The API would support verbs like discover, download, share, and secure for products related to specific locations and timespans. It advocates joining efforts to expand supported data types and use cases.

- 5. 5 SUMMARY SLIDE –OPEN GEO-SOCIAL API Generate User Products That Can Be Used As Actionable Information Tag your Products To Make Stories and Push Stories to Social Networks To Enable Discovery Use An Ubiquitous Product Distribution Format for the Net. Think Mobile Platforms Provide A Higher Level Hypermedia API To Shield Users From Infrastructure Details. You Want To Make It Easy to Generate, Access, Download Products

- 7. 7 PROBLEM STATEMENT Current OGCStandards Are Too Level (Although Necessary) and Focused on Web Services (Not Actionable Products Relevant To Our End Users). Considerable Software Skills Are Required. Security Is Too Difficult. We Need Low Level Security For Audit/Logging. Email Addresses are usually Sufficient. Additional Privileges Can Be Associated to Email Address. Our Data Formats are too hard for end-users (HDF, NetCDF, GRIB, GEOTIFF, Shapefiles...) We Need To Focus On Disadvantaged Users (Low Bandwidth, No Tools, No Skills, No Money) to Achieve Significant Societal Benefits
