CBSTECO2018Inf5(1)WIS2-Implementation-Approach Background EC-69 endorsed the WIS 2.0 strategy (). WIS 2.0 seeks to make it easier for Members to publish, exchange and receive information through the WMO Information System, and to make information from Members more readily available to users. Recognizing that WMO information will continue to grow in size to the extent that it is unlikely that users will be able to transfer all the data they need to their own computing facilities, WIS 2.0 standards will allow computing facilities co-located with the data to be used to reduce the volume of information that has to be transferred. The same facilities would also allow Members that are unable to operate their own computing facilities to create products tailored to their own needs. Rationale for the proposed advice TT-eWIS (the Task Team on the evolution of WIS) is developing an outline implementation plan for WIS 2.0. Ref 2 gives the current draft of this document. This will be developed further during 2018, issued for consultation in the final quarter of 2018, and prepared for endorsement by eighteenth Congress. These documents will then be used to guide the implementation of WIS 2.0. Advice for CBS-MG What By whom Deadline Provide feedback for TTeWIS on the outline plan for WIS 2.0.

ICT. This will not form part of the Information Management section of the Manual on WIS, but will form a separate section as it supports both the original concept for the WIS and the broader information management concept. Rationale for the proposed advice A draft of standards and practices on ICT operations has been prepared and will be used to generate a proposal for Cg-18 to include in the Manual and Guide to the WIS. Advice for CBS-MG What By whom Deadline Provide advice on the relevance and utility of the proposals for guidance on ICT operations. Members 29 March Advice on recommendations to EC and Congress What To whom (e.g. EC-70, Cg-18, …) Time frame Provide advice on the proposed contents of the Manual and Guide to the WIS on the topic of ICT operations. Members through consultation Introduce ICT Operations standards and guidance into the Manual and Guide to WIS.

Resolution 33 (Cg-17) – Report of the extraordinary session (2014) of the Commission for Basic Systems relevant to standardization of data management practices 2. Draft framework for Information Management in the WIS. CBSTECO2018Inf5(4)-WISInformationManagement Background Resolution 33 (Cg17) requested CBS to lead a activity that involves all technical commissions to coordinate development of guidance for Members in relation to all stages of the effective management of information throughout its lifecycle, and to include this guidance, associated standards and procedures in Part C of the WMO Information System. CBS set up a Task Team to define standard practices and guidance on information management for inclusion in the Manual and Guide on the WIS, together with other supporting guidance. TT-IM has used the outputs of the WMO Workshop on Information Management to design an approach to defining standards and guidance to assist Members in managing their information, especially that information that is to be shared with other Members.
