A number of agencies and communities will be interested in the progress and outcomes of this project:
- OGC (we will assist in the enhancement of semantic and grid capabilities, being addressed across OGC, specifically engaging with groups, such as the ad hoc OGC Grid GIS group, under the aegis of the Technical Committee of OGC);
- the JISC user community (notably, geospatial data users, including those consuming JISC-funded resources such as EDINA Data Services);
- the Grid community (workflow issues are of interest to many specialist Grid communities, and of increasing interest to those accessing processing capabilities (including geospatial processing) over the web, whilst the convergence of web services being developed by OGC and mainstream grid services will improve functionality).
