[Esip-discovery] idea for session for ESIP summer meeting

[Ruth Ellen Duerr]

Well… I guess the question is how many other people on this mailing list would be interested in that kind of a session.  I think if there is interest, folks should speak up.

We are now building entire user interfaces around OpenSearch, other web services (discovered through returns to OpenSearch queries) and various types of aggregators.  For example, that is how both the IceBridge portal (http://nsidc.org/icebridge/portal/) and the Arctic Data Explorer (http://nsidc.org/acadis/search/  - try entering polar bear as the search term - no quotes no nothing) work.
