[ESIP-all] New cluster on OpenSearch, Data Casting, and Service Casting technologies

[Hua, Hook (388C)]

Members of our community have been developing and integrating OpenSearch,
Data Casting, and Service Casting service technologies into Earth science
data systems. Since these discovery-based cast/feed services have
considerable overlap with one another, we held a working group session at
the recent ESDSWG meeting in New Orleans to begin consolidating on a common
specification for these metadata casting micro-formats.

>From that meeting and recent telecons, it has been agreed that a broader
ESIP "discovery" cluster is needed to continue the work on creating a common
specification/standard and to resolve some of these interoperability issues.
The working group, which included several members of the ESIP Federated
Search Cluster, suggested to broaden the scope of the ESIP Federated Search
Cluster to include the other "discovery" technologies as well. If
interested, please consider joining the esip-federatedsearch mailing list
for further discussion.
