• Users have to know about the Earth Science data search engine before they can use (must be found from Google/Bing)

What's next for DCPs?

DCP-5: Valids and Restrictions for Query Elements

• http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/DCP-5
• This is going to be further revised using the OpenSearch parameters extension
• Updates coming soon!
• Side Topic:
  • We need to start considering sustainability of this cluster
  • We also need to start being more aggressive about deciding and implementing the DCPs
  • Some may be concerned without how much influence they should have on DCP decisions
  • Best Practice: Not opposed should equal a yes! (Though, if you can't understand a proposal or why its needed, then it may not be good!)

DCP-7: Error Handling Best Practices for Discovery Response

• http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Discovery_Change_Proposal-7
• Can't discuss without Hook...
