  1. Approaches to interoperability and future aspirations Lesley Wyborn Boyan Brodaric Harvey Thorleifson

  2. Part 1: Approaches to Interoperability The Why and The What: Lesley Wyborn How: Boyan Brodaric Part 2 Future Aspirations: Harvey Thorleifson Outline of session

  3. Australian perspectives The Why: just why are we doing interoperability? The What: just exactly what is interoperability? Australian example of an interoperability test bed My role Group Leader Interoperability Geoscience Australia, Co-leader of the GeoSciML outreach group,IUGS-CGI Outline of my presentation

  4. WHY? Don’t YOU personally hate it when………… • You want bits and pieces from different websites, CD’s and desktop files • You can’t remember which website, CD or file the information is on? • No matter how well organised your system is – when you eventually find the right website, CD or file you are not sure it is the latest version of the data? • You actually do find the bits and pieces but the formats are all different……..

  5. Client Proprietary Software Versions of Software and then there is the bigger picture in the Australian Mining Industry and other industries……… Data Structures

  6. Industry input to inquiry on impediments to exploration in Australia– July 2003 • Problems in gaining easy access to pre-competitive geoscience information listed as one of four major impediments to exploration • Described existing information as commonly incomplete and fragmented across eight government agencies, each with its own information management systems and structures • Noted that the disparate systems lead to inefficiencies causing higher costs, reduced effectiveness and increased risk incurred by the industry and its service providers Source: http://www.industry.gov.au/assets/documents/itrinternet/minerals_aa_finalreport_July2003.pdf

  7. Machine People People People Information Machine The biggest why of all: the data deluge Source: http://www.dstc.edu.au/Tech_Transfer/Events/Canberra/web_services_cnb02.pdf

  8. Just EXACTLY what are we doing? Can we learn from history?

  9. James Watt 1776 - Invention of steam engine 1829 - Invention of railways 1834 - First rail-networks 1880 - First Standards Association for individual components 1890 - Manufacturing age 1940 - Invention of the computer 1989 - First Generation Internet 1996 - First Grid networks 1996 - First Standards for components: W3C & XML appear 2007 - OneGeology & Information Age Industrial Revolution vs the Information Revolution Peter Drucker - Beyond the Information Revolution: http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/99oct/9910drucker.htm XMML Data Model Simon Cox

  10. The anatomy of the thread of a screw Standards of the industrial age were developed at the level of the lowest common component

  11. your internal database: your storage transfer standard: an agreed schema You map word for word

  12. An ultimate vision for the WHAT of OneGeology Through standardised interfaces OneGeology will allow usnew levels of innovation which will come from the capacity to mine vast data sets from globally distributed sources to enable the production of new geoscience knowledge to solve issues of global sustainability Geoscience Transfer Standards

  13. The Australian Interoperability Test Bed: June 2004 Response to Minerals Exploration Action Agenda • Australian Government, State and Territory geoscience agencies, professional associations and industry to cooperatively develop and implement nation-wide protocols, standards and systemsthat provide internet-based access to, and effective storage and archiving of, industry and government exploration-relatedDATA See http://www.industry.gov.au/assets/documents/itrinternet/Road_to_Discovery20040702155050.pdf?CFID=284582&CFTOKEN=83266426

  14.     Phase 1: 2004 Geochemistry test bed: Established web services (wfs, wms) using open sourcein 3 surveys   

  15. July 14 June 22  July 21 July 28 June 15 1. Virtual expert team set up who worked with states for preliminary set up via phone and web (http://www.seegrid.csiro.au) Phase 2: 2005Technology Capacity Building    2. Expert team then visited each state for 3 days to install the technology and lecture on web services to the wider community
