• The Earth Information Exchange is an integrated system of distributed components that work together to expedite the process of Earth Science and to increase the effective application of its results to benefit the public.
• The Exchange will increase collaborative use of data sets, research analysis tools, models, simulations, decision support products and educational materials held in dozens of repositories by Federation partners and by others in the Earth observation community.
• Leverage Interoperability and Earth Science Gateway (ESG) as backbone to support the sharing and collaboration.

GIO Purpose:• Facilitate interoperable discovery, access and use of NASA research results and model products in applications of national and international priority and other scientific, educational and commercial uses.
Achieved by:• Designing, and implementing geospatial interoperability concepts, architectures, and standards to enable greater access and use of NASA’s scientific data.
•Developing and demonstrating prototypes, pilots and testbeds implementing access to NASA data, products and models for research to operations
• Leading and participating in national initiatives working towards scientific research system of systems solutions.
• Implementing interoperability directly in support of GEOSS, CCSP, and other national and international initiatives.

ConclusionsConclusions
• Interoperability and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) increase (SOA) increase traditional, cross disciplinary, and advanced use of Earth Science data – Use of OGC web services– Exposing products from multiple partners
• Open standards (ISO/FGDC/OGC and JSR 168/268) enable visualization, search/discovery, data access, sensor web, process flow
• ESG-EIE is a contributor to a robust, flexible, service-oriented, standards-based and extensible infrastructure
• ESG-EIE is a platform that can be used today or built-on to test the viability, usefulness and variations of the System of Systems SOA architecture

Ongoing workOngoing work
• Connect to partner catalogs by interoperable interfaces, such as CSW or Z39.50, through ESG.
• Mature more Portlets, such as Water and Climate? • Mature knowledge reasoning by populating Ontology and
improve reference engine? • Contributing Earth Science Ontology to international
standards for benefiting the GEOSS interoperability. • Support knowledge search, for example, instead of being
able to answering “what precipitation data do we have”, being able to answer “what are the best crops to plant next year”
