Is OOSTethys an OGC Interoperability Experiment?
The OGC has processes for engaging testing and application of its specifications in such a way that the activities can be informed by OGC members, and so that the specification-development activities can be informed by folks using the specs in real-world applications. Unidata has been running an interoperability experiment called GALEON that is investigating application of WCS for the meteorology community (OpenDAP is evidently providing a data-access protocol underneath the WCS.) In March 2007, OOSTethys began work on the OGC Ocean Science Interoperability Experiment. Click here for more information.
