My thoughts on changes to the intro section (changes in Bold):
Hi and welcome to the OpenWIS Association's proof of concept. Let's walk you through some work we have been doing over the last couple of months.
So, here is the current WIS 1.0 concept we all know and love. People are searching for weather products all over the world. Data producers are producing data, and GISCs harvest and index data. but... real-time access to data is limited.
So we asked ourselves... how can we make it better for WIS 2.0?
Added a narrative for CBS Demo. Jeremy and others, please feel free to review and comment.
Thanks!
Steve
Please comment by next thursday to allow enough time to redo the video before CBS TECO
Thanks!
Steve
@solson-nws ... will do my best to review on the requested timescale
The TECO slot is 30 mins. We are planning for: 5 mins video 15 mins demo 10 mins Q&A
Hi - having seen what ED have developed for the PoC, I have developed a narrative that walks us through all the important parts of the systems ...
See the attached PDF. I hope you can read my handwriting!
OpenWIS2.0 demonstration script for CBS TECO.pdf
(note: I am on vacation during the early part of next week, so may be slow in answering any emails for clarification. If it's urgent, please get Paul to call me on the phone)
Hi all,
Here's a little feedback on Jeremy's pdf.
One more thought.
Everything is browser based (LDSH, RDSH, AWISC ... and even the FTP client) so I can run each one of those bits myself - or with help from Rémy and others actually in Geneva.
I can even use different browsers (edge, chrome, Firefox etc) to make it look even more distributed...
The only bit we won’t have software for will be the MQTT client.
Suggest that Nassos (or one the ED team) play the role of Mariam via WebEx ...
They can share their screen and show the MQTT client receiving the data.
I think this would improve the demo anyway, because Mariam would be a remote user - like in real life.
See what the ED guys think?
Also- if we need a plug in for the FTP client in the browser, I need to know ahead of time so that I can get it installed.
Jeremy
We will be happy to join through Webex and play the Mariam role. Just please provide us with the script/use-cases you want us to act.
Concerning the browser FTP plugin, the best we could come find is a Chrome App, called sFTP. The bad news with it is that it is not actually integrated within chrome, but starts like an external application, much like Filezilla. Also, to launch it, you need to either do it from your O/S start menu, or do the following:
Another thought would be to have Mark Oberfield play the role of Mariam, since he created the weather data for the 4 locations.

Do we know what time of day the demo session is scheduled for? We probably want someone playing Mariam who was going to be awake anyway - so afternoon in Geneva would be OK for Mark, anytime would be OK for europeans, most times would be tricky for Korea and Australia.
I think the demo session begins at 27/3/2018 14:00 Geneva time, or later in the afternoon.
@6a6d74 George has added some useful notes above about your narrative. When discussing it, we also thought you might like to mention that Google does not crawl/index a NEW data set instantaneously. However, if you have subscribed to a data set, new data is notified/sent immediately.
Please check the attached consolidated version having the gaps filled-in. If someone could address my comments within the document we may consider the script finalised. video-script.docx
In video-script.docx, Nassos ask to confirm whether to inlcude "some goals of this Proof of Concept study and how they could fulfill WIS 2.0 objectives". I think this is necessary, as we need to introduce or reinforce (if already introduced eleswhere) the main ideas of WIS2.0, at least those ideas that this PoC tried to explore. The first goal is ok to me and relevant to WIS2.0. I am not sure about the second and third dot points (the fourth one is the repeat of third one) and whether they are relevant to the PoC and in what way. By look at the vedio, this PoC is mainly about "to increase the discoverability and accessibility of authoritative weather, water and climate data", although WIS2.0 may involve other innovations. I suggest to restrict to the first goal, which could save a couple of slides.
Hi and welcome to OpenWIS Association's proof of concept. Let's walk you through some work we have been doing over the last couple of months.
So, here is the current OpenWIS 1.0 concept we all know and love. People are searching for weather products all over the world. Data producers are producing data, and GISCs harvest and index data. but... real-time access to data is limited. And for that matter, so is the ability to discover this data publicly
So we asked ourselves... how can we make it better for WIS 2.0?
Let’s start with some goals of this Proof of Concept study and how they could fulfill WIS 2.0 objectives:
Now let's introduce the cast and their roles!
First, there’s John who wants to publish datasets to the web from a remote location. He's not a computer expert, so he installs a Local Data Sharing Hub, using a fully automated procedure that only takes a few minutes. Think of a Local Data Sharing Hub as a small piece of software allowing anyone to publish datasets on the Web.
Say hello to Omar. Omar wants to distribute John's data, he installs a Regional Data Sharing Hub using a fully automated procedure that only takes a few minutes. A Regional Data Sharing Hub allows end-users to receive real-time notifications about data updates from Local Data Sharing Hubs.
Now say hello to Vicky! Vicky works for a large association and wants to provide a comprehensive, curated list of weather-related products and data. Vicky installs an AWISC - An Authoritative WIS Catalogue. An Authoritative WIS Catalogue is designed to provide a curated view of all datasets registered in WIS.
Next, meet Mohamed and Dave. Mohamed is working outdoors and wants to google today's weather conditions. Dave is a seasoned meteorologist. Dave wants access to an expert search interface and a curated list of WIS datasets.
Oh, it seems we forgot Mariam! Mariam is working on a weather prediction model for which she needs real-time access to John's data.
So, this is our cast: John, running the Local Data Sharing Hub. Omar, running the Regional Data Sharing hub. Vicky, running the Authoritative WIS catalogue. Mohamed and Dave searching for information and Mariam wanting real-time access to data.
So here's how the Proof of Concept system works: As soon as John pushes data to its local system, it is automatically transmitted in real-time to Omar's system. Vicky's system is indexing John's data too, to update its local list of curated entries. Google is also indexing John's data.
When Mohamed is looking for data, he can use google like he is used to. Dave, wants and expert search interface, one that google cant' provide, so he is using AWISC. AWISC provides a customised user interface to perform weather-related searches. Mariam can subscribe to the RDSH to get notifications as soon as new data is available.
Hi - I've created some slides to run through during the demo. There are some bits (the text in red) that need to be finalized e.g. the subscribtion URL ...
Also, I think that Paul took a few notes when we met on Friday about small amendments in the demonstration. I'm not sure if I captured all these ... worth cross-referencing with Paul.
Notes for the demo (JT narrative):
@6a6d74 The animation at the end is great - it makes the process clear.
This is the cast of the video presentation Dave:
John:
Mariam:
Mohamed:
Omar:
Vicky:
PDF version...
updated version of the presentation ...
tomorrow at the scrum:
For that I will need the data file & the dataset description (for each of the four tabs) relating to Bibracte
Hi all, This is the new version of the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nm2Oh_jioIE&rel=0
Looks great! Excellent work ...
(just a minor niggle ... AWISC comes out sounding like "a wisc" rather than "aye wisc" ... we can put up with that!)
And here is the Bibracte-related information (not sure if you want me to create a different issue for that).
File | Description |
---|---|
Bibracte-Dataset.xlsx | This is the information required in order to fill-in the Bibracte dataset that @6a6d74 will create during the demo. |
Bibracte-csv-data.zip | This zip file contains 3 csv files with data taken from NOAA readings that @solson-nws provided us. Each file contains a single measurement. |
Things we talked about at the scrum meeting during the dress rehearsal...
I'll reload all the browser sessions on Tuesday afternoon before the demonstration.
@tg4444 / @NMichas - the initial state for the demo should be:
Please can you make sure that things are set up like this? Thank you.
Sure, we'll have these configured for Tuesday morning.
Hi @NMichas
Also, please can you remove "wind speed" from the Cenabum dataset (Gaul LDSH) ... I want only to find Bibracte when I do expert search
I've done this in the live Web app - but you might restart / reload the data at some point
@NMichas
One more thing - just in case the net2ftp service is down during the demo, can you have an FTP client & data files ready to go? Thanks...
Updated presentation (and notes)
It's pretty close to 15-minutes plus the video. ED team will need to get involved at the end when they play Mariam....
Final (hopefully!) update to the presentation - making the summary points on a separate slide.
Thinking about tomorrow's live demo, I though I would explain the logistics and running order...
I will be hosting a WebEx for the demo tomorrow. Details are:
The demo itself is due to start at 5:30 pm CEST - but please get online earlier.
I've asked Paul to send around the details by email - including the password!
Note: quite a few slides are hidden!
Slide 25:
Dimitris Papadeas will be Mariam.
Thanks -
@dimipapadeas - please let me know if you have any questions about the demo. The Notes in the PowerPoint presentation should show what you need to do.
@6a6d74 No questions from my side, the Notes are quite clear.
@6a6d74, @rogers492 , @woollattd We are ready for the Demo, LDSHs, RDSH and AWISC are set as requested.
@dimipapadeas - thank you. I've been through and reloaded all my tabs :-)
I noticed that LDSH Gaul was still shown in the RDSH. I have deleted it ...
@dimipapadeas
My audio (on the WebEx) isn't going to be connected from the laptop I'm using ...
So - I will dial into the WebEx on my iPhone for audio (speaker phone) ... I'll be able to talk to you through that. Hopefully we'll not get feedback from the conference audio system!
All - for those who wish to follow the demo live, WMO are broadcasting the session live ....
""" The Plenary discussion will be broadcasted through Web-streaming; please follow the link below for accessing it:
https://c.connectedviews.com/01/WMOPublic """
(see http://meetings.wmo.int/cbs-teco-2018/SitePages/Session%20Information.aspx)
@dimipapadeas
I should add that the WMO broadcast has about a 60-second delay, so don't rely on that for knowing when you need to be Mariam!
Concerning the Google search, it has not indexed the dataset pages yet. Furthermore, the search results for "ldsh britannia" (without quotes) are inconsistent when searching from Greece. If including the quotes, we appear as the first result.
I also tried using a Swiss proxy server to do the search (a server of the World Health Organization in Geneva), and "ldsh britannia" (without quotes) did return as the first result.
@tg4444 -
In the demo I talk about our WIS2 pilot application "not being popular enough yet" to be regularly indexed or to rank highly in the result.
Then I do an alternate search for the LDSH itself. I noticed this morning that "ldsh britannia" didn't come up in the first page either ... but I found that if I mis-spelled the search as "ldsh brittania" it comes up third in the search results.
Thanks for reminding me that I can search with quoted text!
All - just to be aware that the CBS TECO session is currently running 30-minutes early. I doubt that it will affect the start time of the demo ... but @dimipapadeas: please be ready a little early!
