Talk:Data Catalog Side Meeting
From Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)
CNR and GI-Cat: An example of CoP participation -- Rhusar 01:37, 3 September 2011 (MDT)
During the Solta workshop preparation phase, the CNR group has offered the facilities of the general catalog GI-cat to the rather narrow AQ domain. At the side meeting devoted to GI-Cat they have demonstrated that the contents of the AQ Community catalog (ISO 19115 metadata records) can be harvested by GI-cata and merged with other broader catalog contents. Hence, through their voluntary actions, they have demonstrated interoperability ....Warm welcome to the CNR group as a mamber/partner of the AQ CoP.
Questions: What is the added value of the connected catalogs..to the data providers.. to the users.. to the mediators to the overall networking? What next?
