Genesi-DR Interoperability

GENESI-DR is an acronym for Ground European Network for Earth Science Interoperations - Digital Repositories, and is a European research project. It is part of the Research Infrastructures part of the EU FP7 Capacities Programme.

GENESI-DR involves key Earth Science centres responsible for operational data acquisition, processing, archiving and distribution and additional data holding facilities, and aims to operate, validate and optimise the integrated access and use of available digital repositories for Earth scientists.
It's challenge is to offer a framework that allows scientists from different Earth Science disciplines to have access, to combine and to integrate all historical and present Earth-related data from space, airborne and in situ sensors available from all digital repositories dispersed all over Europe together.

The GENESI-DR interoperability activity aims to facilitate EGEE Earth Scientists the access to this infrastructure. For this purpose the EGEE Earth Science Cluster and the GENESI-DR project agreed on a Memorandum of Understanding, which contains the aim of allowing bidirectional access to infrastructure and data.
