The NASA-developed Earth Observing System (EOS) Clearinghouse (ECHO) is a spatial and temporal metadata registry that enables the science community to more easily use and exchange NASA's data and services. NASA's Earth science data has already proven itself to be extremely useful in understanding the planet Earth as an integrated system. For example, NASA's EOS data are helping scientists gain a better understanding of the processes that affect the composition of the ozone and the effects of the composition on climate change. NASA's EOS data is also helping scientists move forward in their efforts to predict natural occurrences, such as wildfires. Currently, ECHO contains metadata for over 2,149 data collections comprising 56 million individual data granules and 14 million browse images. ECHO stores metadata from a variety of science disciplines and domains, including Climate Variability and Change, Carbon Cycle and Ecosystems, Earth Surface and Interior, Atmospheric Composition, Weather, and Water and Energy Cycle. ECHO also has a services registry for community- developed search services and data services. ECHO provides a platform for the publication, discovery, understanding and access to NASA's Earth Observation resources (data, service and clients). In their own native state, these data, service and client resources are not necessarily targeted for use beyond their original mission. However, with the proper interoperability mechanisms, users of these resources can expand the value of them, by consuming, combining and applying them in unforeseen ways. This presentation will discuss how ECHO enables interoperability between data, between services, and the mechanisms for interoperability between data and services. It will also provide a description of how to utilize ECHO to interoperate with NASA's Earth Observations resources. Finally, it will present an overview of a generic Earth Science discovery client, built on ECHO's infrastructure.
