Are OOSTethys & OOS Tech related?
Yes. As an outcome of OOS Tech 2005 – “Web services for interoperable ocean science” – a group of OOS techies (including Luis Bermudez at that time from MMI/MBARI, now at SURA) created a follow-on activity to explore the use of web services in the context of ideas discussed at OOS Tech 2005. This followed previous successes with OpenIOOS.org and their implementation with OGC standards.
