Planning for the ESIP Summer Meeting
Brokering and Beyond - A glimpse at the Future of Global Data Sharing
- Related to Discovery (overview of the concept of brokering)
- More closely aligned with ESC
Discovery Hack-a-Thon
- Done a lot of work deploying services and working on standards
- Last "missing link" is how to enable more clients to actually use services
- Presenting a few "low-hanging fruit" ways of accessing services
- Shell script w/ wget/curl
- XSLT
- Idea is to show people how easy it is to access discovery services
- Ruth: Could it also be about the server-side? What about: "This is all you have to do to service-cast your data"
- Would also include time for the testbed.
- Want people tinkering with the testbed
- Need to have mentors / teachers for each area
- Should there be a Perl area, Python area, CSS/XSLT, etc.
- Designate some points of contact for after the session
- Put together a resources page for each "dialect" of the hack-a-thon
- Also can throw together a presentation for each
- Ideally, people would be able to bring something home with them
