Background
PRAGMA
How it all started?
Background
PRAGMA Is all about networking PEOPLE with common goal/mission. PRAGMA has been a great model and needs to be emulated. Has helped weaken barriers between different research group across different continents and allowed people to trust and collaborate rather than compete.
How it all started?
Background
PRAGMA Building Blocks GEON …
GEON
The Geosciences Network (GEON) project is a collaboration among a dozen PI institutions and a number of other partner projects, institutions, and agencies, in USA, to develop cyberinfrastructure in support of an environment for integrative geoscience research. GEON is funded by the NSF Information Technology Research (ITR) program.

GEON Workshop in India
GEON 2005, was conducted from October 24 27 at the University of Hyderabad, immediately after PRAGMA 9. Resource people Chaitan Baru Dogan Seber Sandeep Chandra Ashraf Memon Mark Gahegan Boyan Brodaric Some local experts
Main Outcomes
An idea is born: Have an International presence of GEON Will allow Active Groups to be networked Entry point for registering/accessing datasets and tools Furthering Collaboration Data from regions that have similar age and geology as regions in India will be of great interest for comparative studies. etc …
iGEON
iGEON is international initiative of GEON.
International sites (in order of their establishment) are:
CMSD(Hyderabad, India),
AIST(Japan),
CNIC(Beijing, China),
Moscow.
iGEON-India is now a Knowledge, Research and Development Networked Indo-US Centre funded by the Indo-US Science and Technology Forum , New Delhi, India. Coordinated by University of Hyderabad, SDSC

Why Hyderabad as a iGEON India Node?
Hyderabad is a home of a chain of research labs and educational institutions that have special strengths in the areas of interest to the proposed knowledge networked center, National Geophysical Research Institute (NGRI); National Remote Sensing Agency (NRSA); Geological Survey of India (GSI); Central Ground Water Board (CGWB); Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT); Atomic Minerals Directorate; Indian National Center for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) etc.

UoH Networking with Stakeholders/Partners, First Step, How?
iGEON-India Workshop 2007
iGEON workshop held between August 3 rd to 8 th , 2007, in Hyderabad. Bring together: Researchers (both Computer Scientists and Geo), Student Scholars, Application Users Resource persons SDSC UoH Institutes like NRSA, NGRI, INCOIS, NMDC, AMD etc
Major Observations
Heterogeneity is the hallmark of the
workshop: Bringing Computer Scientists, Geoscientists together and making them talk.
Need to deal with specific application,
field related problems: We cannot have single Universal portal ever. Has to be driven by the contributors. Vast availability of datasets: There is willingness to share data. Value based processing can be done by researchers, scientists etc.
Agencies to upload their apps, tools
and algorithms: This should be possible, except for anything that is patented.
Provide a forum for development of
standards in a number of areas: E.g. metadata, data formats, digitization of paper maps etc.
Survey the kind of datasets to be submitted and served from the iGEON-
India portal: Including services that can be made available.
Next iGEON-India Workshop: Can possibly be collocated with Geological Society of India annual meeting. Showcasing real applications
Well knit community building to
continue: Linkages/partnership with stake holders. As part of the this effort it was decided to establish iGEON-India PoPs at University of Pune and Adikavi Nanayya University, Rajamundary as phase-I of networking (Urban vs Rural).
iGEON-India PoPs
The iGEON-India PoP node will provide capabilities to develop and deploy services and serve datasets for the users at their site and for the broader iGEON community, help the partner site integrate local department or campus resources, and provide resources for system-level components, e.g. for data caching, monitoring, etc.

Where do we go from here?
Access to geologic data from India to GEON/PRAGMA like: Indian paleomagnetic, paleontologic, and paleogeographic datasets and associated maps.
Access to mineralogical datasets. Some of the data that will be published includes Indian metallogenic data on diamonds and kimberlites, which are critical in understanding geologic processes at a global scale.
Access to Indian geophysical data like: gravity data, seismic data, and Deccan flood basalt geochemistry data.
First gravity data published in 1975 (contour interval 10 mGal) Revised sets published in 2006 (contour interval 5 mGal): For restricted circulation
Data from regions that have similar age and geology as regions in India are of great interest for comparative studies. Access to other datasets that may be interest to PRAGMA/GEON Community Make resources available to Research Students to do better science Reach out to other Colleges/University researchers Network Bandwidth Research Collaborators/Partner/Student exchange Identify more iGEON-India PoPs
