Community Portals

The ICEO Standards Working Group has published a report that addresses the features and behaviors that are desirable for an "acceptable" Earth observation data portal.  This report also addresses those things that are not desirable.  The report uses standards and best practices in the industry to support its conclusions.  A new version of this report is currently being worked on, and will include more items for decisions of "acceptability", an initial version of a metric for objectively and quantitatively determining "acceptability", and some case studies.
