[galeon] The Brokering Approach for Geosciences (AGU Fall 2012)

Dear Colleague,

Do you have issues discovering and accessing data in diverse formats coming
from multiple sources? As a data provider, are there issues to reach a
large multi-disciplinary user base? If so, please consider sharing your
experience by submitting an abstract for the 2012 AGU Fall Meeting
Session *IN046:
The Brokering Approach for Geosciences*. Brokering is a means of
facilitating interactions across heterogeneous multidisciplinary data
sources and services where the burdens for enabling interoperability are
shifted from users and providers to a third party service layer. ****

This session will implementations and explorations of the brokering
approach in the *US* (e.g. the EarthCube initiative), *Europe* (e.g. the
FP7 programme), and *internationally* (e.g. GEOSS).****
