This discussion page contains responses and comments on the 'Proposal must cover' topics stated in the NSF Solicitation. (I have introduced tentative headings for each requirement, thinking these might eventually serve as subsection titles in the proposal. Dave Fulker (Dave.Fulker))

Terrific, tightening the connection between these NSF requirments and the proposal body is a really good move. Lets see how can we fold these headings into the prop body. Rhusar 19:02, 19 January 2006 (EST)

1. Research Team: Team includes information scientists and environmental researchers from two of four areas: ecology, ocean science, atmospheric science, environmental engineering

Unidata certainly has applied information scientists that can contribute to the effort, but we do not have researchers in that area in the sense of individuals who publish regularly in the information science literature. Ben Domenico (BDomenico)

The Information Science in the team is covered through Prof. Ken Goldman in the CompSci department at WashU. His main research is in distributed computing, most recently ' Shared Computing Infrastructure for Survivable and Evolvable Distributed Applications'. A nice topic for the distributed With the applied information scientist at your shop and ours, and Ken Goldman, I think we are covered on the IT science/application area. I would like to include some theoretical/empirical work on the 'Network Effect'. Another possible information science area is the 'Semantic Mediation' stuff, a la Stefano Nativi
