WGCV-43
The 43rd Plenary of the Working Group on Calibration & Validation
(Joint meeting with the 45th Meeting of the CEOS Working Group on Information Systems & Services)
Hosted by: The National Institute for Space Research (INPE, Brazil)
Location: São José dos Campos, SP, Brazil
- Agenda (v.1.0)
The WGCV-43 meeting was held jointly with the Working Group on Information Systems & Services (WGISS) and addressed topics of common interest, as well as the CEOS 2018-20 Work Plan Objectives/Deliverables defined as an outcome of the last CEOS Plenary.
This area of common interest included Earth Observation Future Data Architectures (FDA) and the Copernicus Data and Information Access System (DIAS) for CEOS. These were also covered in a half-day workshop on Wednesday.
The meeting provided an excellent opportunity for CEOS Agencies to present their achievements and share results and lessons learned with other agencies and to contribute to the definition and shaping of FDAs, standards, and approaches for making data available to users in the most effective way possible.
