OOSTethys is the name given to the combination of two formerly disparate interoperability demos: OpenIOOS and MMI. The OpenIOOS interoperability demo was associated with nascent RAs (originated with SEACOOS & GoMOOS) and was supported and coordinated through the SCOOP program at SURA, with support from ONR & NOAA/CSC. The mostly NSF-funded MMI interoperability demo, which is one component of the Marine Metadata Interoperability (MMI) project had the name Tethys (which was already taken on sourcefourge.net) so we chose OOSTethys as the name of the merged entity.
