GALEON

GALEON (Gateway or Geo-interface for Air Land Earth Ocean NetCDF) is Unidata's OGC Interoperability Experiment.

The project will be both a formal OGC Interoperability Experiment related to the Web Coverage Service (WCS) interface specifications, and a set of software implementation experiments which, it is hoped, will go beyond the OGC membership into the world of OPeNDAP, LAS, THREDDS, NetCDF, etc.

MarineXML Testbed

The MarineXML Testbed, the major deliverable of the EU MarineXML Project, demonstrated data interoperability through 'use' metadata (CSML developed by NERC DataGrid) by displaying a wide range of disparate oceanographic data types through the Seven Cs SeeMyDEnc viewer.

NERC DataGrid

NERC DataGrid (NDG) is a UK-based "e-Science" project developing Grid middleware and metadata systems to support uniform discovery and access to a range of environmental data across the UK.

OOS TECH SOAP Web Services DemoThis demo has been aligned with MMI Tethys demonstration.
OpenIOOS

The OpenIOOS Interoperability Demonstration represents a coastal sciences community effort to support integration of observational and forecast systems.

The OpenIOOS Interoperability Test Bed is a collaborative, multi-institutional initiative to demonstrate and advance data integration and interoperability among coastal ocean observing systems, both adacemic and government, across the U.S.

SCOOP DemoSURA has been a partner in a nationwide "interoperability demo" that gave rise to http://www.openioos.org. This site is compliant with Open Geospatial Consortium specifications for web services, which means the associated geospatial metadata are built into the specs. But for content metadata, it's anarchy and chaos. We'll be using guidance from the MMI to add order to the chaos, and to enable automated search capabilities.
