The concept of "interoperability" in Earth Sciences is somewhat fuzzy and it is being applied in many different ways. In order to gain a better understanding of interoperability as it is currently used, we have explored the ...

The purpose of this note is to summarize the statistics on "interoperability" papers at recent fall meetings of the American Geophysical Union (AGU).

Procedure

The procedure for developing the statistics involve accessing the AGU Abstracts Database for the fall meetings of 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006.

The search was conducted using keywords that occurred in any of the abstract's fields including title, body, and keywords. Otherwise, the search was not confined, in other words the resulting list of abstracts was selected from the entire database for that year.

Context of "Interoperability"

Searching for interoperability for the fall 2006 yielded thirty abstracts. Visual inspection of each abstract was performed to examine the context in which the interoperability was used. The pie chart below shows the number of abstracts for each context.

Of the thirty abstracts with interoperability, seven abstracts were classified as General since the context referred to general aspects of information interoperability.
