Nadine and All, Societal benefits are incorporated in the proposed ESSI session. The GSN demonstrations, like the Beijing and the upcoming IGARSS-Denver workshops, are part of a "The User and the GEOSS Architecture" <http://www.grss-ieee.org/menu.taf?menu=GEOSS&detail=GEOSSWorkshops> workshop series. The Denver workshop will be focusing on demonstrating the benefits of OGC interoperability to regional and global air pollution monitoring and analysis with Liping as the demo organizer. As you see from the proposed session outline below the invitation is extended to similar contributions which may well include other applications delivering societal benefits. Rudy
Title: Standards-based Interoperability among Tools and Data Services in th e Earth Sciences Description: Several groups are actively developing interoperable data access, analysis and display systems based on evolving international standards, such as the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) protocol set. There is a concerted effort to develop demonstrations of the resulting interoperability technologies. The Geo-interface to Atmosphere, Land, Earth , Ocean, netCDF (GALEON) and GEOSS Services Network (GSN) are two interoperability efforts conducted in the context of OGCnetworks. These initiatives are also influencing the evolution of the emerging standards most notably the OGC Web Coverage Service (WCS) to accommodate standards-based access to multi-dimensional Fluid Earth Science datasets. Presentations and demonstrations for this session are encouraged for similar interoperability efforts in addition to GALEON and GSN. There will be a special electronic poster area set up for live, online demonstrations of these interoperability technologies.
