The OGC Interoperability Institute (OGCii) is an educational and research institution dedicated to the application and refinement of interoperable data models and services for the seamless exchange of spatial and temporal information in the context of scientific and other academic enterprise, see www.ogcii.org. We work with universities and other research centers throughout N.America, UK, Europe, and Australia to harmonize data models and web services for interdisciplinary access and use, dealing with cultural & institutional barriers, not just technical. We see data model harmonization and interoperability as a key semantic aspect of long-term data preservation, and have experience with many different domains and very large datasets such as satellite and aerial imagery, ground survey information, meteorological, geological, oceanographic, hydrologic, soil, agricultural, biodiversity, and environmental data of all kinds.
We would like to team with others working on a response to NSF 07-601, to forward the prospects for long-term, interoperable data preservation worldwide.
