Overview

What's the Plan? Get together to make some simple Discovery clients! All are welcome, no previous experience or coding skills necessary!

  • Two back-to-back sessions:
  1. Tuesday, July 17, 2012. 1:30pm-3:00pm
  2. Tuesday, July 17, 2012. 3:30pm-5:00pm

Abstract: The set of ESIP Discovery services encompass the overlapping conventions of Earth science federated OpenSearch, Collection Casting, Granule Casting, and Service Casting feed standards. To help lower the barrier of entry, we will provide a set of hands-on and simple approaches to using Discovery services. These include walking through some "low-hanging fruit" approaches to calling OpenSearch, Collection Casting, Granule Casting, and Service Casting.

Discovery Hack-a-thon Overview (20-mins)

Quick overview of ESIP Discovery services and set the stage for call the ESIP Discovery services from various simple clients.

Poll the audience for interest.

Hack-a-thon Breakout (70-mins)

Geoportal

We will have a Geoportal from our testbed up and running. You'll learn what protocols the geoportal already supports for service validation, how to use the geoportal to validate and register data and services, and how to add configurations for validation to a geoportal instance. Or, just take the Discovery Cluster geoportal instance out for a spin!
