Defining GINDefining GIN• collections of service definitions,
interchange formats, and vocabularies
• independent of hardware, operating system, or lower-level network protocols
• new technology will only require implementation of network elements in a new environment
• architecture allows for the use of multiple conventions for different user groups
• EarthChem test bed - linking a large, complex global data system
Geochemical data from GEOROC, NAVDAT, PetDB, and USGS = 594,335+ samples
Semantics: vocabularies,
ontologies
