The EDRS PSG participates in activities that support the development, extension, refinement, and maintenance of EDRS standards for the environmental data community. This includes the support for the ISO/IEC SEDRIS family of standards, including the Environmental Data Coding Specification (EDCS), Data Representation Model (DRM), Spatial Reference Model (SRM), and the SEDRIS Transmittal Format (STF).
Activities of the EDRS PSG include maintaining liaison with the ISO/IEC SC24 organization, the SEDRIS Organization, and the broader environmental data representation community; providing SISO post-standardization support and maintenance for SISO environmental data products; providing support for the development and implementation of tools to support the use of all SISO environmental representation products; and providing a forum for community education on the application and use of standards for environmental data.
The above description aligns well with current SAC discussion on PSGs regarding broader subject area focus within SISO including existing an evolving PDGs, SSGs and SGs, and broader outside community involvement in promoting SISO products and creating broader subject area situational awareness among SISO members and the M&S community.
