Feedback on <strong>QA4EO</strong> Role<br />

As usually, QA is considered as crucial, but remains<br />

given poor attention and resource.<br />

<strong>QA4EO</strong> advertised in CEOS WGCV ACSG, in NDACC, in<br />

GMES Atmospheric Service, in SPARC, in UNEP/WMO<br />

ORM… and within space agencies and validation groups.<br />

<strong>QA4EO</strong> principles are agreed to be key to success. But<br />

<strong>QA4EO</strong> framework judged from “too simple” to “too<br />

demanding”.<br />

Level of detail needed is not clear. Costs can grow<br />

exponentially => Guidance is requested.<br />

What constitutes a valid Quality Indicator is unclear,<br />

especially if it has to be “traceable to possibly SI”.<br />

Concerns with the ambiguous concept of compliance.<br />

Sometimes confusion with ISO and with European<br />

Directive INSPIRE<br />
