Abstract :
Illustrates a distributed system that provides online searching, analysis and ordering capabilities for distributed Earth science data. The system is under development by a consortium led by George Mason University in a project called Seasonal-to-Interannual Earth Science Information Partners (SIESIP) as a part of a federation of information partners funded by NASA. The integrated system is composed of data, a database management system (DBMS), communication protocols, data analysis tools and a user interface. Through a Web-based Java GUI, users can search the DBMS for metadata information, conduct content-based searches, perform some initial analyses and issue an order for the selected data
