DRAFT Content for Article -- OOSTethys & Oceans IE (Phase I)

Goal: Take ideas on this page and incorporate them into a publication that showcases the activities and outcomes of this project, up to and including the OGC Oceans Interoperability Experiment (Phase I). *Anyone* with ideas on content for the article is invited to contribute to the content on this page (comments welcome). A relatively small group from the project will work to turn this into an article for publication. We're thinking about publishing in EOS, with submission target in early 2009.

OGC Interoperability Program -- IEs, what is OGC, with IE are, how they work, engaging community and informing standards
