The HDF Group (Type II Research)
- Application excerpt:
- "The HDF Group (THG) is a not-for-profit “spin-off” company from the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. The THG staff are the same group that created the “Hierarchical Data Format” or HDF, in 1988. Two HDF formats exist, and both are among the premier scientific data formats in the world, and serve as the standard for many large projects and organizations."

Virtual Solar-Terrestrial Observatory (VSTO) (Type II Research)
- Application excerpt:
- "The overall goal of our projects and activities is to integrate a balance of data/model holdings, portals and client software, and a semantically rich, ontology-enabled framework that provides an environment that researchers can use without undue effort as if all the materials were available on their local computers. Our work includes the conception, design, development and deployment of production data frameworks built on semantic web technologies and methodologies. We focus on user-centric data search, query, access and use with the goal of enabling data integration virtual data product generation, data fusion, analysis and visualization. In conjunction with our collaborators, we develop and deploy inter-disciplinary Virtual Observatories. We also develop and deploy high performance data access and transport mechanisms (OPeNDAP). We actively participate in community outreach activities, working groups and international professional associations, and standards organizations."
