The Vision:• Utilize

cyberinfrastructure developed by GEON to offer online data distribution, DEM generation, and analysis of large LiDAR datasets.

• Completely internet-based workflow:– Point cloud to

visualization

• Utilize modular web services to complete a variety of processing and analysis tasks.

• Offer users control of processing and analysis parameters.

The PaleoIntegration Project (PIP) is facilitating interoperability between global-scale fossil and sedimentary rock databases, enabling a greater understanding of the life, geography and climate of our planet throughout the Phanerozoic.

3-tier architecture:

Front - user interface (computer terminal, user-friendly search terms and tools)

Back - databases (schema, ontology coding - age, geography, content)

Middleware - translates user-selected parameters for database searches - keeps track of user selections (workflow), so a modified search doesn’t mean “starting over” - routes user requests to different software components (e.g. data query, spatial data conversion), bringing results from multiple databases and tools together on one screen

How?

SYNSEIS: A grid application in GEON

• SYNSEIS is a SYNthetic SEISmogram calculation tool built as part of the GEON system

• Uses E3D in the background• Enables 2D and 3D seismic

waveform simulations using a service-oriented architecture

• Utilizes both local as well as national computational platforms such as TeraGrid

• Integrated with GEON resources allowing utilization of archival and storage resources
