Scientific paper

The past 15 years have seen the development of many cost effective ways to acquire, store, and exchange data. We have the potential to expand the exchange of data by allowing working scientists and operational agencies to access and manipulate information and models from large interdisciplinary centers as well as from small, previously isolated, research groups. The key to this technology requires adoption of community-developed standards for data storage and description to form an ''Informatics Commons.'' Scientific societies currently promote the establishment of a system of Virtual Observatories. The Electronic Geophysical Year (eGY) concept (2007-2008) embraced all available and upcoming geophysical data (e.g., atmospheric, geomagnetic, ionospheric, magnetospheric, etc.) and advocated organizing them into a series of virtual geophysical observatories deployed in cyberspace. This concept allows access to all available data through the Internet and World Wide Web, taking advantage of existing networking hardware and software technologies (e.g., Internet, XML, Service-Oriented Architectures, Semantic Web, etc.). The eGY provided an international focus for a resolve to address the issues of data release, data discovery, and data preservation. This effort can help revolutionize the transition of basic research to a state of operational readiness.
