MBIGS
MBIGS is a hypothetical open-source framework designed to coordinate multi-institutional geoscience research by enabling interoperable storage, processing, and sharing of diverse data types, including geospatial rasters, time-series measurements, and instrument metadata. It emphasizes modular design and standards-based interoperability, aiming to reduce data silos across organizations.
The architecture centers on a core data model and a service layer with APIs, plus plug-in modules
Governance is envisioned as a community-led consortium with representatives from academia, government, and industry. MBIGS would
As a concept, MBIGS exists in reference implementations and pilot studies that illustrate data interoperability challenges
