Multi-disciplinary Interoperability• Different interoperability levels -at different Infrastructures
level• Four main infrastructure types
1. Thematic/Community Infrastructures– SBA/CoP resources core functionalities
2. Digital Earth (Earth System Science) Infrastructure– Earth science resources core functionalities
3. Geospatial Information Infrastructure– Geospatial resources core functionalities
4. Distributed Computing Infrastructure– Distributed Capacity provision

Challenges to fill the gap• Build on existing (autonomous) capacities
– Implement a “system of systems” – Build on existing and future information systems– Supplementing but not supplanting systems mandates and
governance arrangements • Assure a Low Entry Barrier for Users and Resource
Providers– Mediate (standard and non-standard capacities)– Interconnect (capacities) and Adapt existing capacities
– Implement Semantic Interoperability – Shift from technical interoperability towards conceptual
composability– Avoid tight coupling or strong integrations

SOA approach• For complex (large and heterogeneous) infrastructures, SOA
archetype does not scale and is not flexible
