'Win-theme' for the AQ Observatory project

Based on our discussions I would propose a common (win-) theme for the AQO project along the following line:

There is already an infrastructure for access/use of met data (Unidata) and for AQ data (DataFed)

Each serves their respective communities well, but not the sister communities, so:

AQO will extend these working domain infrastructures by making them interoperable at find/access/use level

Add new synergistic capabilities arizing from combined resources and tools

Thus, the prototype AQO will demonstrate operational inter-domain networking [and encourage other nodes to join?]

Variations on this theme would be stated in several sections of the proposal. Is this our key theme? Is it too little, much, just right? Enough NSF-appeal?

-:There is already a solid data access/use infrastructure for AQ data - DataFed
-::There is already a solid data access/use infrastructure for met data - Unidata
-::Each serves their respective communities well, but not the sister communities
-::So, the AQO will leverage these working infrastructures and augemnts them by:
-:::xtending DataFed and Unidata by making them interoperable at catalog, access and tools level
-:::dd new components that arise from fusing the two infrastructure domains
-:::courages networking by inclusion of other major nodes
