2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
GEON: The GEON Grid Software Architecture Track: New Technology and System Integration Author(s): Chaitan Baru The Geosciences Network (GEON) is a multi-university project funded by the National Science Foundation to develop cyberinfrastructure to enable sharing of data sets and services in a distributed environment for the Earth Sciences. The GEON Grid is a distributed network of GEON nodes, each of which runs a GEON software stack that includes Web and Grid services to enable users to register data sets; register services; issue queries across multiple information sources, using spatiotemporal search conditions and ontologies; download data into personal spaces; invoke analysis services; and visualize output of queries and/or analysis. The architecture includes data mediation services, workflow services, and a portal. Much of the data is geospatial and spatiotemporal in nature and provides appropriate search interfaces, and efficient mapping interfaces for such data is an important requirement. The GEON Grid software stack will include ArcIMS as one of its components to provide GIS and mapping functionality.
