The URR is a facility for collection, sharing and describing:
• User types among the nine SBAs;
• Applications that use Earth observations;
• Requirements for Earth observations and derived products;
• Links among user types, applications, and requirements.

UIC Objectives
• Enable GEO to address in a systematic, targeted, focused and
comprehensive way the needs and concerns of a broad range of user
communities in developing and developed countries, across issues and
trans-disciplinary needs, with a particular focus on fostering new or less
organized communities.
• Enable GEO, in the implementation of GEOSS, to engage a continuum
of users, from producers to the final beneficiaries of the data and
information
• Facilitate linkages and partnerships between established CPs and new
user groups or organizations interested in collaborating.

How to Approach Users in the
Lower Half of the Spectrum
• What do they do in their occupation and what does their organization do?
Is there a web-site?
• How would they describe their more important activities? What are those
of their organization?
• What decision-making are they involved in, either directly or indirectly by
providing research or decision support tool development?
• What impact/benefits result or might potentially result from this decisionmaking, including the expected timeframe of the impact/benefits? Does
the organization measure the impacts/benefits?
How to Approach Users in the
Lower Half of the Spectrum
• Does your organization operate a system or systems that collect
observational data, either in-situ or remotely sensed? Describe these
systems. Are they part of a larger system?
• What observational data, geographical data, socio-economic data and/or
models/forecasts, if any, are used in the decision-making or the indirect
support to the decision-making
• What are the needs for additional information that could improve the
decision-making or the indirect support to the decision-making?
• What regional or international working groups are you a member of or on
the mailing list of?
Communities of Practice
A user-led community of stakeholders, from providers to the
final beneficiaries of Earth observation data and information,
with a common interest in specific aspects of societal benefits
to be realized by GEOSS implementation.
The Communities of Practice will be self organized and will
include stakeholders required to achieve benefits.
