2. AuScope Grid What is AuScope Grid? Charged with delivering software infrastructure to enable Geoscience Community to have easy, interoperable access to data, informational and computational resources Establishing governance and sustainability of services Delivering solutions to research and government organisations

4. Why is this necessary?

5. Data Structures Proprietary Software Versions of Software Client Part of our problem…data access is not standardised across organisations

6. 1 st Step: Standardise the Information Models Not a storage problem… –Exchange Semantics and structure –GeosciML, OGC Tool support –Creation and validation Geography Markup Language
