12. Upgrades to the IDN (May 2009) 1.A new Climate Diagnostics Portal, providing users direct links to visualization data developed by the CEOS IDN with guidance from Mitch Goldberg (NOAA). 2.Web based interface for staff to track broken links and a Link Checker Tool integrated in the docBUILDER validation process. 3.New functionality to define portal content, where content can be exclusive to a specific portal. 4.Support for building custom email responses for metadata submissions. This allows for specific responses on a portal-basis. 5.*A Web 2.0 Platforms/Instruments user interface providing a dynamic list of platforms and instruments.*

13. DIF and SERF Request for Comment (RFC) Status Background: The NASA Earth Science Data Systems (ESDS) Standards Process Group (SPG) was created by NASA to facilitate the development of future data systems. SPG members are drawn from the NASA Earth Science data community. The SPG welcomes submissions of potential standards that would be of value to the NASA Earth Science community. The standards are evaluated and can eventually be endorsed as ESDS standards. The GCMD was asked to submit the DIF and SERF standard to the SPG for review by the international community (including CEOS). John Scialdone (SEDAC) represents the DIF and SERF on the SPG members side.  DIF RFC: http://www.esdswg.net/spg/rfc/esds-rfc-012/http://www.esdswg.net/spg/rfc/esds-rfc-012/  SERF RFC: http://www.esdswg.net/spg/rfc/esds-rfc-013/http://www.esdswg.net/spg/rfc/esds-rfc-013/

14. DIF RFC Status  Fifteen responses were received on the DIF.  Most of the responses were favorable, even though some responders indicated that they required more specialized or detailed metadata.  The ESDS Working Group recommended that the DIF continue to be used and maintained as a catalog standard.  The DIF RFC is finalized and has been received by NASA headquarters for final approval.

15. SERF RFC Status  Few responses were received, despite additional, targeted requests to likely responders.  The SERF is on a standards track but not endorsed at this time.  The SPG indicated that the Earth Science community is far from a consensus on how to implement service metadata and discovery.

16. Future Plans  Address comments and determine if enhancements or modifications are needed to the DIF and SERF.  Consider modifying the SERF display to enhance current features (Access to Web Services, Links to Associated DIFs, etc).  Continue to advertise the DIF and SERF to the international Earth Science community.  Determine what the Web Service community wants to see in a future version of the SERF.  Tyler Stevens (Services Coordinator) will be attending the SPG workshop during the ESIP Summer Meeting.
