N2 - The Bureau of Products and Standards (BPS) is a key component of the Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG). It supports GGOS in its goal to provide consistent geodetic products needed to monitor, map, and understand changes in the Earth’s shape, rotation, and gravity field. In its present structure, the two Committees “Earth System Modeling” and “Essential Geodetic Variables” as well as the Working Group “Towards a consistent set of parameters for the definition of a new Geodetic Reference System (GRS)” are associated to the BPS. This paper presents the structure and role of the BPS and it highlights some of the recent activities. A major focus is on the classification and description of geodetic products and their representation at the renewed GGOS website (http://www.ggos.org ). This website serves as an “entrance door” to geodetic products to satisfy different user needs and communities (e.g., geodesists, geophysicists, other geosciences and further customers) in order to make geodesy more visible to other disciplines and to society.
