[ESIP-all] ECHO Training Classes in November.

[Mark Nestler]

The Earth Observing System ClearingHOuse (ECHO) allows scientists and
developers to build their own tailored user or machine-to-machine
interfaces for accessing EOS data. ECHO is an enabling framework that
allows different data systems and services to work together.  An open
system, ECHO's application program interfaces (APIs) are published for
use by the user community.  The idea is to extend available Earth
science resources from the science community, to the science community.
ECHO accomplishes through a metadata clearinghouse and service broker
application program interfaces (APIs) based on XML and web service
technologies. 

 

You are invited to attend a series of ECHO Training sessions being held
November 3-6 at and near the NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center in
Greenbelt, MD.   (See schedule below). This session is intended for data
provider and client provider developers who will be programming to ECHOs
APIs. 

 

The objectives of this training are twofold:

1)      For prospective providers of data,  give fundamental knowledge
of ECHO functions and processes that will enable those providers to
participate in and contribute fully as an ECHO partner.   For current
ECHO data providers, provide an opportunity to refresh their knowledge
of ECHO and thus improve  productivity in working with ECHO

2)      For prospective providers of clients,  give fundamental
knowledge of how to develop a client that can interact with ECHO.   For
current ECHO client providers, provide an opportunity to refresh their
knowledge of the basics of interaction between clients and ECHO.

 

NOTE:  Data provider training is scheduled for days 1-2;  Client
provider training for days 3-4.  You may attend the entire weeks'
training, or just the days that best fit your organization's needs.

 

Please RSVP by September 30th (September 24 for Foreign Nationals).
