[Esip-discovery] Impact of Discovery services

[Mattmann, Chris A (388J)]

Hi Guys,

I've been part of two efforts in the Discovery service arena:

1. for the NASA Virtual Oceanographic Data Center project, where we focused on NASA and NOAA oceanographic datasets (NVODS, OSTM, PO.DAAC), and making them available via a Solr facet+free text search. http://vodc.jpl.nasa.gov. This was an ACCESS 2007 funded project.

2. for the NASA Coastal Marine Discovery Service (CMDS), where we are extending on our VODC work, and focusing mostly on coastal ocean datasets (fisheries, etc.), looking at e.g., ERRDAP, Coastwatch, etc., and focused on linking the data into the EasyGIS system. This is an ACCESS 2009 project.

Both #1 and #2 include the use of Apache Solr, and Apache OODT search services.

Cheers,
Chris
