Session 2
Data Management and Access in Digital Repositories

The session presents specific experiences and views in science and technology demonstration projects both from the infrastructure / technology perspective (including grid, cloud computing), and from the earth science application perspective. In particular we focus in areas such as global monitoring, interferometry, climate change, analysing requirements and solutions for managing large scientific digital repositories.

Session 3
Emerging Standards for Interoperability of Earth Science Digital Repositories

This session addresses projects with specific experience towards the definition and utilisation of standards for the full exploitation of Earth Science data, ranging from Interoperability across Digital Repositories to Curation and Long-Term Preservation. In particular it considers: Standards for Geospatial Data Discovery and Access, Distributed Storage and Processing, Integration and Visualisation, OGF and OGC plans.
