Thanks a lot for Chirs for providing us these resources.It's really interesting to see the practical applications built by using existing software systems.
This is a my point of view which I have in my mind by going through many research papers. There are no well known geoscience gateways available in the world.But there are few existing ones which are focusing on specific application scenarios only.So i think there is a need of strong geoscience gateway which can be use by starting from students to geoscientists. Geoscience is a emerging area where computer resources highly engaged. Geoscience gateway will not only will popular with geoscience people but also with computer science people too. I have saw how PyWPS(implementation of OGC's WPS) use with taverna for creating geoscience workflows. According to my knowledge enhancing geo science capabilities in Apache Airavata will create a pathway to originate a fruitful geoscience gateway. In taverna It import WPS services through WSDL for creating workflows. I would like to have some thoughts about the starting point of integrating OGC services like WPS to Apache Airavata. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
