Multi-State Project Components Phase I: Project kick-off, disciplinary exchange, detailed scoping Phase II: Business case development for sustaining access to content and archiving Phase III: Inventory available content and capacity of state partners, inventory or identify existing practices in partner or other states Phase IV: Assess requirements, recommend/adopt/develop demonstration tool, recommend desired “at-risk” content for transfer, archiving, and access points, and determine actions for demonstration

Possible Points of Connection with OGC Large scale data transfers between organizations –Does this tie into the OGC/OGF sphere of collaboration? –Is the problem of data transfers orthogonal to the OGC set of standards (i.e., handled through OGF specs)? Federated data management: implications for archiving Temporal aspects of decision-support in a web services environment Interface of repositories with access infrastructure Various metadata issues –Data versioning –Support for added administrative and technical metadata –Metadata wrappers and content packaging
