Metadata!!!
• Repeatability and Reproducibility• Process metadata• Extended EML– Describes steps / workflow– Read by EML-Reader – Transformed into Narratives

New Directions
• With UNM EDAC and UTEP Cyber-ShARE– Extend environmental layers to NASA data – Provenance between EDAC and LM services
• SDM of fossil invertebrates• Advanced 3-d viz using GPUs and openGL• Identify location based on species
Take home!
• Web services exposing tools and data– Species Distribution Modeling– Range and Diversity
• Standards allowing mix and match• Clients simplifying access• Metadata simplifying re-execution• Collaborations making us happy
