3. S2S Overview 3

4. Use Cases Faceted Browsing Interface –Search by award number and PI –Search by geographic region and parameter –Search by publication date Maintain current value chain –BCO-DMO acts as archivist, curator, and provider S2S enables… –Faceted browsing –Discovery portals and self-deployed interfaces 4

5. Research Methodology Fox et al., 2009 5

6. Interaction Paradigm ExView (Maffei et al., 2007) and 4DGeoBrowser (Lerner and Maffei, 2001) 6

7. Framework Ontology 7

8. Framework Architecture 8

9. Prototype Implementation Technology: Data Resources: 9

10. Summary Extensible Framework –Add web service standards –Add search and analysis widgets –Add data services Enables community development –Data managers –UI designers Uniform search interface –Customizable, reusable 10

11. Future Work S2S evaluations (usability, extensibility) Implement additional web service standards –e.g., SAWSDL, SPARQL services, WPS S2S federated search interface S2S as a discovery interface 11
