> One of the tasks of interest has long been developing a comprehensive 
> inventory of earth science information assets, including not only 
> traditional data products and services but also web services, 
> software, analytical services, etc.    The EIE Portal would both 
> benefit from and support such an inventory, as would the ongoing 
> semantic web and ontology work.  We held a brief workshop at the 
> Summer meeting in Madison (raw results attached), but there are many 
> questions yet to be addressed (a rough list of some is attached)
>
> The term "inventory" is used broadly in our communities to represent a 
> variety of information needs.  Comments on developing an inventory 
> have ranged from "how does this differ from the metadata collected now 
> in FGDC, ISO and DIFF format?" to "Isn't this just a duplication of 
> effort?" to "We need to adopt lighter weight protocols for dealing 
> with this information" to "this will fulfill a major need."
>
> Getting a variety of viewpoints, perspectives and ideas is critical to 
> defining a useful structure and approach.  I invite anyone with 
> interest to participate in these sessions.
>
> I'd like to discuss
> 1) What capabilities an inventory can offer to complement EIE work
> 2) What current efforts can be leveraged to provide the framework and 
> help populate and inventory
> 3) How to best use the winter meeting to define specific inventory 
> requirements and determine which are not adequately addressed in 
> current metadata catalogs
