[Esip-earthcollaboratory] Earth Science Collaboratory Working Group (NASA)

[Law, Emily S (3880)]

Hi Chris,

For the Reference Architecture, we may want to start with what Michael,
Barry and I put together. It's available at:
http://earthdata.nasa.gov/our-community/esdswg/standards-process-spg/spgfol
der.

Don't know who will be at ESIP next week. May be good to meet up for those
show up?

Thanks,
emily
