Granule Discovery and Services

1. Granule Discovery and Services ESIP Winter 2014 meeting Organizer/Moderator: Ed Armstrong, NASA JPL Rapatour:Kelly Monteleone 8 Dec 2014

2. Discovery and commensurate web services for dataset discovery are well established with many data centers offering these capabilities.  Now many groups are moving beyond directory or collection searches to support discovery of granules. Many of these searches are using CSW, Opensearch or other services. Well known examples include those established within ECHO, NODC, and PO.DAAC. These efforts are mature enough to share lessons learned etc. and that is the goal of this session. Also solicited are conceptual ideas and architectures that show how  metadata can be leveraged as part of a granule search, for example, using quality information to apply quality flags to the search result.
