13. 13 Take home message AuScope Grid has: extended OpenSource software to deliver “complex feature” services (GeoServer) Developed software to ease production of community schema (FullMoon) Prepared preliminary vocabulary services Made use of the Geonetwork Catalog service Developed a discovery and display interface that handles “complex feature” services (AuScope Portal) Has achieved interoperability of point, 1D and 2D data

14. 14 Where to from here? Harden all the services Continue deployment with the surveys and make it as simple as possible Roadshows, skill development and deployment assistance Influence commercial solutions Some additional features and user-friendliness Controlled Vocabulary services tools 3D data Two more years work at current development level (at least)
