Metadata!!! • Repeatability and Reproducibility • Process metadata • Extended EML • Describes steps / workflow • Read by EML-Reader • Transformed into Narratives
New Directions • With UNM EDAC and UTEP Cyber-ShARE • Extend environmental layers to NASA data • Provenance between EDAC and LM services • SDM of fossil invertebrates • Advanced 3-d viz using GPUs and openGL • Identify location based on species
Take home! • Web services exposing tools and data • Species Distribution Modeling • Range and Diversity • Standards allowing mix and match • Clients simplifying access • Metadata simplifying re-execution • Collaborations making us happy
