The document describes the HTAP Data Network, which demonstrates a service-oriented approach to sharing atmospheric model outputs and air quality observations between various data servers using open standards. The main output is open-source WCS data server software and tools that allow different organizations to publish, find, and access distributed air quality data holdings in a interoperable way as part of the GEO Task DA-09-02d: Atmospheric Model Evaluation Network. The network aims to connect air quality data providers and users to enable effective air quality science and management.
EarthCube All Hands Meeting Outcomes: Architecture Forum EarthCube
The EarthCube All-Hands Meeting, held in Washington, DC June 24-26, had a large emphasis community discussion about coming to convergence on architecture for EarthCube.
This presentation, given at the EarthCube Townhall at ESIP Summer Meeting (July 8-11) outlines the outcomes of the Architecture discussions and how the technology projects and teams are using these outcomes to move forward with EarthCube.
Parts 3 and 4 of a comprehensive look at the Geoweb, based on well defined web2.0 patterns and examples as well as organice buzz within the Geoweb community. For a detailed summary, see http://blog.gishacks.com/2009/09/comprehensive-look-at-geoweb-part-3-and.html.

Science Services and Science Platforms: Using the Cloud to Accelerate and Dem...Ian Foster
Ever more data- and compute-intensive science makes computing increasingly important for research. But for advanced computing infrastructure to benefit more than the scientific 1%, we need new delivery methods that slash access costs, new sustainability models beyond direct research funding, and new platform capabilities to accelerate the development of new, interoperable tools and services.
The Globus team has been working towards these goals since 2010. We have developed software-as-a-service methods that move complex and time-consuming research IT tasks out of the lab and into the cloud, thus greatly reducing the expertise and resources required to use them. We have demonstrated a subscription-based funding model that engages research institutions in supporting service operations. And we are now also showing how the platform services that underpin Globus applications can accelerate the development and use of an integrated ecosystem of advanced science applications, such as NCAR’s Research Data Archive and OSG Connect, thus enabling access to powerful data and compute resources by many more people than is possible today.
In this talk, I introduce Globus services and the underlying Globus platform. I present representative applications and discuss opportunities that this platform presents for both small science and large facilities.

Editor's Notes
We will start out by highlighting significant trends in air pollution monitoring and management Next we will describe an agile information system architecture for air quality decision support Finally, we will show the application of this architecture and technologies for two use cases: a real time smoke event analysis and a long-term model evaluation
The HTAP Data Network Pilot is a demonstration of a service-oriented, loosely coupled air quality data sharing network. It is implemented using international standards and conventions for publishing, finding and accessing distributed holdings of atmospheric model outputs and observations. The portable WCS data server software and the tools developed and used in this HTAP Pilot are contributions to GEOSS through GEO Task DA-09-02d: Atmospheric Model Evaluation Network.
First a recap of tree basic ideas for GEOSS. Any single problem requires many datasets Any dataset will serve many communities The PULL by data users and the PUSH by data providers are driving forces for the flow of data
However, there are also strong impediments to the flow of data, both technological and social. A guiding principle for interoperability is “What few things must be the same so that everything else be different?” Whats the minimum set of protocols should we agree on so that we have an “Internet” for data?
