Distributed Web Services for the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River Basin November 18, 2005 Time: 8:30am - 4:30pm Location: U.S. EPA Region V, 12th Floor, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois.
The main objective of this workshop is to bring together the broader Great Lakes federal, states and the research community in a discussion on how to exploit evolving distributed web services to further promote access to real-time and historic data, model inputs and outputs and various spatial and temporal datasets dealing with the basin.
These new generation of technologies will assist the protection of the region's unique natural resources and further support basin-wide programs and initiatives, such as the Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS), Great Lakes Interagency Task Force, SOLEC indicators and among other regional resource management and restoration efforts.
