[Go-essp-tech] Status of the CMIP5 Archive

I suggest that if you are thinking of getting into the RSS or Atom feed business, you may want to consider the datacasting frameworks developed at JPL/PO.DAAC (RSS for files) or National Snow and Ice Data Center (Atom for datasets and files).  Some pointers to this information, as well as examples can be found at the Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) Discovery Cluster wiki:  http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Discovery_Cluster.  The Resources section has pointers to some docs, the Contrib has pointers to some examples.
