Talking Points
• What is the USGS Core Research Center, and what is its value?
• Current state of information access and interoperability
• What is the US Geoscience Information Network, and why do we think it’s important?
• Experimental application of USGIN architecture
• Remaining pesky questions

But…
There’s lots of things we don’t know yet.
despite
the
technical
problems
which we
will
resolve…
AGU Fall Meeting 2014
• Will people use this service?
• If we plug it into the USGIN implementation for something like the National Geothermal Data System, will the records come up in searches?
• Will we see researchers request access to the cores and other resources from discovering them somewhere other than on the CRC Well Catalog application?
• Does this work really improve interoperability?
