Hi Geoffrey,

Two stimulating messages…

In a significant manner, a globally open science cloud already exists, as discovered with geospatial analyses involving Google BigQuery and space-time cube innovations.  As an example, rapid processing at nominal costs in the cloud are being delivered with big data from the oldest and longest continuous satellite Automatic Identification System (AIS) record of maritime ship traffic north of the Arctic Circle (please see attached).

I look forward to your next message 😊 and hope all is going well.   Stay healthy!!!

With best regards,

Paul

Dear Hussein Sherief

The International Science Council’s report to UNESCO will include a recommendation on the potential for a Global Open Science Commons, to which a globally open science cloud could be of considerable support. It would also be of great interest to emerging regional open science platforms, including the African Open Science Platform. I will come back to you with ideas of potential linkage between ITU and these initiatives.

Many thanks for making contact.

All good wishes

Geoffrey Boulton

Dear Geoffrey Boulton,

I noticed that UNITAR’s contribution to Open Science was being considered for the report to UNESCO . At ITU, we have submitted documents requesting that Global Open Science Cloud (GOSC) be considered as a new tool for SDG’s Disaster Risk.  If the ITU-D Study Group adapts GOSC at its coming October meeting in Geneva, then GOSC will be available as a new Globally Open Science Cloud tool for its member states. From there,  a global framework and guidelines will be worked out by the study group leading to ISO standards.

Here are the link to the submitted documents:

I do not know if this information is of any use with respect to the report  to UNESCO, if you think it is , you can further contact ITU-D Study Group 2.

Thanks
