Hello Ben, GSN, GALEON: You can count me in to be at a ESSI possible session at Fall AGU. I would suggest that you indeed propose and lead a session on these interoperability demos/experiments. I am not surprised that the GSN-GALEON type of activities attract attention at this time. After all, virtually all the national and international Earth Science and Application programs have declared data interoperability and networking as a major goal. An AGU session would inform the broader community of the past demos and possibly attract additional members to actively participate in the future. Conversely, presentations at an AGU session would force us to organize our thoughts, formulate our experiences and improve the planning for future GSN/GALEON activities . Such a session would also show to the major programs such as GEOSS, that some 'near-term opportunities' for moving toward their goals are being realized by the community. So, I would suggest, go for it! Regards, Rudy On 5/31/06, Ben Domenico <bendomenico@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hi, The GSN demos were the topic of many discussions at the recent AGU Spring Joint Session in Baltimore. It seems that the OGC GSN initiatives and the related GALEON efforts would be great topics for an ESSI (Earth and Space Science Informatics) Focus Group session at the Fall AGU meeting in San Francisco December 11 - 15 as well. This sort of cross-disciplinary, integrative data and modeling system work is very much in line with the objectives of the ESSI Focus Group. The deadline for proposing sessions for the AGU Fall meeting is approaching soon: June 8. http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm06/?content=program#sessionProposals -- Ben
