4. Primary Interests Making data usable and accessible Increase use of Earth science data and information Leveraging existing and new technologies to improve flow of data and information

5. Web Services Standard data architecture used Web services sit on top of the architecture Gain flexibility Reusable components Technology capabilities are conceptual models for application to other systems

6. Observation to Research Oak Ridge National Lab and NOAA NCDC Land Surface Temperature Service Facilitate inter- comparison of satellite & ground- based data sets Web Service (SOAP) with additional visualization capability Experimental product http://daacdap- dev.ornl.gov/FixSites7x7/services/ModisLS T?wsdl http://daacdap- dev.ornl.gov/FixSites7x7/services/ModisLS T?wsdl
