Interoperability Readiness Levels
The Technology Infusion Working Group (TIWG) presents the group's work on Interoperability Readiness Levels to the ESDSWG meeting.
GREENBELT, Md.,10/14/08 - The TIWG will be presenting a poster at the Seventh ESDSWG Meeting in Philadelphia, PA based on the group's work on Interoperability Readiness Levels.
The Interoperability Readiness Levels (IRLs) describe nine levels of interoperability for Earth science data systems and were inspired by NASA's Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) and the Reuse Working Group's Reuse Readiness Levels (RRLs). Each interoperability level represents an increased ability for a system to interoperate with other systems based on four key interoperability dimensions; discovery, access, data, and understanding.
The IRLs are currently designated as draft for review.
About the Technology Infusion Working Group - The Technology Infusion Working Group (TIWG) is part of the Earth Science Data Systems Working Groups based at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. TIWG's members include NASA centers, educational institutions, national laboratories, and other technology centers specializing in Earth science research. Its mission is to enable NASA’s Earth Science community to reach its research, application, and education goals more quickly and cost effectively through widespread adoption of key emerging information technologies.
