Excerpt
Excerpt: What is requested? The Group on Earth Observations (GEO) was established in July 2003 to begin development of the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS). GEO is an international partnership espousing the free exchange of Earth observational data. The US participates in GEO and GEOSS through the Interagency Working Group on Earth Observations (IWGEO), a collection of 15 Federal agencies that either supply or use observational data. NOAA, a key member of IWGEO, is committed to making its Earth observation data interoperable with external entities via the IWGEO and worldwide through participation in the GEOSS.
