Regional Team experts are supposed to contribute to:

• bring local knowledge;
• provide knowledge and experts about regional standard and interoperability arrangements;
• support the GEOSS SIF to complete the tasks submitted by Communities;
• facilitate the registration of European standards and interoperability best practices (e.g. special arrangements).

Team Experts

The European Regional Team consists of experts with an understanding of the protocols, standard arrangements and other technological practices for Europe and EU Countries, representing each (or most) of the societal benefit areas of GEOSS.

Sector Experts will be considered for interoperability topics as well as for the following GEOSS sectors:

• Data and Architecture;
• Disaster;
• Health;
• Energy;
• Climate;
• Water;
• Weather;
• Ecosystems;
• Agriculture;
• Biodiversity;
• Multi-disciplinary and transverse areas. 

The sector experts are the members of the SIF Regional Team. The regional expert names will be inserted in the SIF experts database. The team members will discuss the Regional Team positions and will carry out the tasks assigned by SIF.

Duties

According to the SIF process, interoperability arrangements that are submitted to the SIF for consideration will be directed to regional teams for review.

The regional teams will analyze and provide an opinion on the acceptability of this arrangement, based on criteria established by the SIF.

These recommendations will then go to the SIF for consideration and disposition with the original submitter.

The regional experts may contact and support the interoperability arrangements submitter, according to the SIF procedure.

Effort

The participation in the regional activities will be by telephone and email exchange.
