Hi all
The BSS project is steaming ahead! This is to give you a brief update.
See also the BSS WIKI: https://teamwork.niwa.co.nz/display/NZBSS
We had a busy two month with 6 workshops up and down New Zealand.
- James Lambie, Horizons Council and Mike McMurty, Auckland Council, have
carried online surveys and series of six workshops across the country to
collect information for the terrestrial and infrastructure work streams.
- The material collected from the workshops and the online survey is currently
written up into draft reports on the terrestrial and freshwater use cases for
the July BSS Steering Committee meeting.
- A ‘strawman’ for a ‘BSS exchange format’ was developed through the workshops.
Purpose of the ‘strawman’ is to identify key information components to be
transported through the BSS infrastructure to satisfy (most of) the use-cases.
- Purpose of the BSS Steering Committee meeting on July 23rd is to discuss and
to endorse the draft reports and the developed ‘strawman’. We will then make
the material available to the wider community for comments. Stay tuned!
More detailed guidance will be provided after the workshops in July/August. We
plan to run dedicated implementation workshops with data providers during
September-November.
Happy BSSing! Jochen
