Several communities and projects such as CUAHSI, GEON, LEAD, and GEO-IDE are actively developing their own information infrastructures and modeling solutions using a service oriented architecture (SOA) and web services in conjunction with portals, scientific workflows and, sometimes, Grid-computing platforms. While the early attempts to develop and apply SOAs and webservices in the geosciences have had some success, there is now a clear need to discuss their interoperability. The nature and structure of data and the type of services vary across the geoscience disciplines even as those developments aim at the effective use of evolving international standards (e.g. ISO TC211 and OGC) and components re-use. There exists some valuable examples of concerted effort to develop demonstrations of interoperability technologies, such as: the OGC GALEON (Geo-interface to Atmosphere, Land, Earth, Ocean, netCDF) Interoperability experiment and GEOSS Services Network (GSN). This session will provide a forum to bring the various geoscience projects and communities involved in the development of SOA, web services, and international experiences together. Presentations for this session are encouraged for projects, initiatives and experimentations which deal with standards, infrastructures and modeling solutions for a given Earth and Space Community, with a particular attention on interoperability and re-use aspects.
