Best Practices in Services and Data Interoperability

From Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)

Return to the master meeting page

As the Federation membership grows, we have a continuing need to share with each other our diverse knowledge and experience in developing and deploying services oriented architectures based upon a variety of standards and in service of a diverse community of scientific and public users. This session will provide a variety of presentations that cover the basics of standard services, architectural models developed around services, and specific experiences in implementations and service interactions.

There will also be a lot of interoperability expertise on hand, so bring any questions and problems you have in this area to get answers!
