Standards-Based Interoperability at Fall AGU

See http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm07 for AGU Fall Meeting Information

Standards-Based Interoperability Among Tools and Data Services in the Earth Sciences

Special ESSI session focusing on interoperability

Description from AGU Conference Website:
Several groups continue development of interoperable data access, analysis and display systems based on evolving international standards, such as the protocol specifications of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and ISO. There is a concerted effort to develop demonstrations of the resulting interoperability technologies. Examples of such efforts are Geo-interface to Atmosphere, Land, Environment, Ocean, netCDF (GALEON), the Ocean Sciences Interoperability Experiment, and GEOSS Web Services Network (GWS). These initiatives are facilitating standards-based access to multi-dimensional Fluid Earth Science (mainly the atmospheric and ocean sciences) datasets by employing and influencing the evolution of the emerging standards such as Web Coverage Service (WCS, Web Feature Service (WFS), Catalog Services for the Web (CS-W)and the Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) suite. Presentations and demonstrations for this session are encouraged for similar interoperability efforts in addition to those mentioned here. If possible, there will be a special electronic poster area set up for live, online demonstrations of these interoperability technologies.

MMI will be a presentor in this session - come see how we can facilitate interoperability for your project!
