Spatial Data Workbench (SDW) Wish List Breakout Group Notes from 2002 GIS Workshop *list has not been prioritized

1. Add spatial component to CLIMDB (link GIS to CLIMDB)
2. Add support for simulation modelers
3. Add metadata for models (simulation and others)
4. Tools to develop pipelines – analytical, processing, simulations
5. Add other ‘tabular’ (ecological research) data to SDW
6. Add GIS (vector) data
7. Incorporate Social Science data (census data, surveys, etc.)
8. Expose Map Services of Raster Data (AVIRIS, etc.)
9. Combine functionality of analytical and map feature tools
10. 3D visualization tools
11. Integrate MCAT and EML (Metacat)
12. Federate site data into TerraGrid (allow site data to stay at site without having to import site data into SDW)
13. Adopt EML as metadata exchange format for SDW
14. Resource discovery tools
15. Information Manager control of data update when uploaded to SDW
16. Allow Researchers to control access to their data using authentication control
17. Distribute SDW applications and data geographically (similar to NBII Clearinghouses)
