Isn't this what we've been doing for years in CRU where it was called the LINK project! Tom wrote the original proposal in 1992. Nice to see the US finally catching up! Formats and software are one thing. The real effort within LINK was educating the impacts community within the UK on how to use the information. Interesting use of language with the non-research community! PCMDI would be in a good position to do this, but it is very much service oriented and responsive to users.
