[Go-essp-tech] Invitation to participate in a first demonstration of the COG workspace

[Sylvia Murphy]

Hi Everyone,

On Tuesday 10/4/11 at 0900 Mountain Time I will be conducting a demonstration of the COG workspace during the regularly scheduled GO-ESSP-TECH telecon.  As such, we will be using their audio line and our web conferencing line (see below).

COG is a collaboration environment that enables projects to access data and services, build up knowledge bases, and share them.  It is being designed to serve model inter-comparison projects, and other projects that must combine many sub-projects, peer projects, or groups in order to achieve their goals.  It is being collaboratively developed by NESII (where Curator sits), the University of Michigan, the University of Colorado, GFDL, a couple of different NCAR groups, and others, and we would welcome more.

On this demo you will see how COG:

* Can create linked relationships among projects
* Is linked to external data and services through an ESGF node
* Can send news across a project network
* Contains templated content (structured project metadata) as well as free form content
* Can organize artifacts in folders including pointers to data and URLs

COG is less than a year old and so is very developmental at this stage.  There is a lot that hasn't been implemented yet.  Linkages to services for visualization and analysis are planned.  We are also planning links to metadata, using the CIM and related tools.

Since all of our software is community vetted, we would value your participation in the demo and your comments about this effort.  As always, if you cannot make this demo another can be arranged for you.
