'Win-theme' for the AQ Observatory project?
Based on our discussions I would propose a common (win-) theme for the AQO project along the following line:
- There is already an infrastructure for access/use of met data (Unidata) and for AQ data (DataFed)
- Each serves their respective communities well, but not the sister communities, so:
- AQO will extend these working domain infrastructures by making them interoperable at find/access/use level
- Add new synergistic capabilities arising from combined resources and tools
- Thus, the prototype AQO will demonstrate operational inter-domain networking [and encourage other nodes to join?]
Variations on this theme would be stated in several sections of the proposal. Is this our key theme? Is it too little, much, just right? Enough NSF-appeal?
