Data Hosting
- The Public Geospatial Data Committee (e.g. 'we') plans to host data at http://osgeo.telascience.org/, courtesy of John Graham and the SDSC.
- Agreed we should start by hosting +/- two showcase data sets, one raster, one vector.
- Agreed we should host these datasets in their original formats first, before adding derivative/value-added versions.
- Agreed we should host download via HTTP, download via BitTorrent, and OGC Web Service access.
- Agreed we should peer datasets through GeoTorrent. Noted that they have data format requirements for hosted data sets that may not meet our needs -- e.g. VMap0. Frank Warmerdam will speak with Richard Orchard of GeoTorrent about this.
- Schuyler volunteers to sketch out a plan for hosting two initial datasets, most likely VMap0 and Blue Marble NG (both of which John already has downloaded to the server).
