The Seventh Annual GO-ESSP Community Workshop will be held in Seattle 
17-19 September 2008.  Participants will share their progress in 
developing cyberinfrastructure that facilitates discovery, acquisition 
and analysis of Earth System information, data, and knowledge. An 
overarching theme of GO-ESSP is to identify and foster integrated 
efforts that lead to global interoperability among independently 
developed systems. A target goal in doing so is to improve the 
utilization and effective community analysis of widely distributed 
archives of climate observations and model output.

There is no registration fee for this event and attendance is limited to 
60 invited participants. We are requesting that potential participants 
submit a brief abstract describing a proposed presentation /or/ their 
specific interest in the workshop by *June 1*. The abstract is not to 
exceed 250 words and should include the title of the presentation, if 
one is proposed.  Submissions in any format (plain text, Open Document 
Format, PDF, MS Word, etc.) are acceptable and may be submitted to the 
URL provided above. The organizers will inform you by email of 
acceptance by June 16.

The meeting agenda will include some time for participants to engage in 
a /Show And Tell/ session, where participants are encouraged to 
demonstrate their work and/or new prototypes in an informal manner. 
Internet connections will be available for laptops.  If you’re 
interested in doing this, please append a title and brief description 
along with your abstract submission as described above.

Presentations should be responsive to one or more of the following 
technical themes -- the areas of emphasis at this year’s meeting.  The 
GO-ESSP meeting Web pages will contain more detailed guidance (to be 
posted soon).   Connecting these themes to the specific needs 
established by international bodies that coordinate climate and weather 
research activities (e.g., IPCC WG1 assessments, COPES, GEOSS) is 
encouraged.
