July 22, 2010 NASA ESDSWG SPG meeting

Reference Architectures for NASA Earth Science Data Systems

8:30am - 5:00pm

Agenda

To be announced

Meeting topic

Through a series of technical workshops the Standards Process Group has investigated Data Formats, Catalogs and Metadata, Emerging Technologies, and Web Services.

The July 2010 workshop will focus on Reference Architectures for NASA Earth Science Data Systems. The purpose of this workshop is to explore the potential of a reference architecture in identifying common elements of NASA Earth Science Data Systems.

Benefits of a reference architecture may include clearer communication about the elements and artifacts involved in producing environmental research products from NASA’s satellite remote sensing missions, identification of common interfaces and more cost-effective reuse of system elements.

Questions we hope to address: Can a reference architecture help NASA develop better Earth Science systems interoperability and encourage the interuse of NASA’s data? How can reference architectures be used to lower system development and acquisition cost? Can reference architectures provide guidance to current and future data systems developers while also allowing for adaptation to future developments in system design?

The workshop will consist of a series of invited technical presentations along with panel and/or audience discussions.
