Abstract :
Data access and analysis tools that are developed within specific disciplines and the protocols that they are built upon provide valuable services to their respective users but can actually be a barrier to the integration of data from a broad set of data sources. An example of this is data supported by OPeNDAP that is widely used in the ocean and atmospheric sciences, and data provided through the interface specifications of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) that typically serves the land science community. This paper describes a project that is developing a gateway to bridge these two data system infrastructures, in response to a specific need expressed by CEOP, an international science program.
