******************************************* From: Kelly Stroker <kelly.stroker@xxxxxxxx> ******************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS US004: Digital geophysical data exchange: remote access, virtual observatories, GEOSS, and eGY (IUGG 2007 General Assembly, Perugia, Italy) There is a growing requirement for common data logging techniques, digital capture, exchange and integration of data sets across geophysical disciplines. The Electronic Geophysical Year (www.eGY.org) and the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (www.earthobservations.org) initiatives offer modern approaches to remote data access, integration and management. This session focuses on the technology and tools, such as spatially enabled databases, Web-accessible open geographic information systems, common scientific lexicons and virtual data centers, which improve the discovery, browsing, visualization, and integration of geographically dispersed scientific data. The session will analyze trends towards the establishment of virtual observatories and networks and activities supporting the goals of the eGY and GEOSS. Both oral and poster papers are now solicited for this session. Note that the revised abstract submission deadline is now 28 February 2007 for electronic upload and 10 February 2007 for post delivery. Given the half day allotted to session US004, most papers can be expected to be presented as posters. However the organizers intend that a few oral contributions can be given alongside invited oral papers. Conveners: Alan W. P.
