Hi all,
what a pity I have missed discussion last week, obviously lots of
thrilling things going on.
Joining the coverage and SWE O&M folks at one table was raised earlier,
but now obviously it's gaining impetus.
To foster discussion there (and before), two suggestions:
- I have added the Coverages.DWG to the recipient list to allow people
chiming in.
What is the relevant SWE list? For this message I spammed SWE, but maybe
we can focus in.
Some launchpad questions that arise in my head, certainly neither
complete nor optimally phrased:
* do we have a common "big picture"?
* key similarities and differences in the technical spec details?
* targeted application domains: do they match, or are there
important outliers that "the other" group needs to get an opinion on?
- as I learn a dedicated slot has been reserved already for the upcoming
Valencia meeting - thanks a lot, Ben! IMHO this discussion is at the
core of the Coverages.DWG mission, so I would offer to facilitate it as
the Coverages.DWG meeting, best jointly with Ben and/or some O&M activist.
cheers,
Peter

Hello all,
I've asked Greg to block off a session for the entirety of Monday
(December 1) afternoon at the Valencia OGC Technical Committee meeting
for the joint session between theCoverages group and SWE O&M. The
EGU would be another good place. . In my conversations here, there is
some concern that many of the interested US people may not make it to
either of those European venues. Perhaps we can do something at the
Fall AGU in San Francisco as John Graybeal suggests. The advantage of
the EGU and AGU is that they are open to those who are not OGC members.
In fact, the presentations from last year's Interoperability Day
(which covered many of these topics) at the Boulder OGC TC are indeed
available at:
http://galeon-wcs.jot.com/WikiHome/GALEON%20Phase2%20Main%20Page/Unidata%20OGC%20Interoperability%20Day%20Presentations
It would definitely be good to start the discussion online before the
December meetings. If there are suggestions for a better mechanism
than this email list, let me know. I think we can set up a topical
forum on the Unidata web site, but that does not seem to be a very
popular approach so far. We can also publish white papers on the
GALEON wiki to get the conversation going. Other ideas?

Ben,
I planned to attend the OGC TC meeting in Spain; I would be very
pleased to contribute to the discussion. Indeed, to discuss about
feature, coverage and O&M views of scientific data is an important
subject.
I tend to agree with Andrew on the possibility to revamp the
arguments started at the Interop Day in Boulder. I guess the
workshop presentations are still available on the GALEON Web site.
Another place where many interested parties would be collocated is
EGU.
