Abstract

This paper reports our research on utilizing OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) or de facto standards to support the ESDRs (Earth Science Data Records) sharing within the SWP (Spatial Web Portal). In MEaSUREs (Making Earth Science Data Records for Use in Research Environments) project, we leverage our extensive experience with emerging technologies to develop a SWP to provide distributed data access, distributed data analysis and integrated data display. In this study, three parts are investigated on how to share ESDRs by MEaSUREs SWP including a) establishing a publicly-accessible ESDR data portal, b) developing an on-line meta-database to enable quick discovery of relevant ESDR resources, c) using intelligent, Web-enabled services that simplifies for users data access, processing and exchange to distribute ESDRs.
