- Resources available through OGC Web Services
- Science Focus Areas
- Intended Users
- Scientists, Analysts, Decision Makers
- Students, Educators, Public

## 			Earth Sun Gateway Concept

**	****	****	****Earth Sun Gateway Concept**

**Earth Sun Gateway**
**Portal to ****data, ****information,****knowledge ****about the Earth**

**Notes:**
OGC’s approach is based on interoperable web services, and emphasizes reusable applications service components. The diverse collections of geospatial data can be published, made accessible via the ESG portal, and usable by applications services to meet agency decision support needs.  

Rather than implementing a single solution that embeds a diverse array of functionality that cannot be easily interchanged, the OGC approach emphasizes “swappable” application, portrayal, processing, catalog and authentication services.  Please keep this in mind as you review the OGC ESG Portal demonstration – the OGC Portal is a distributed, multi-vendor services based system!

 This approach maximizes choice – Missions are able to procure or develop, and plug in standards-based application service components that have the functionality to best suit their mission needs.  Additionally, this approach encourages the reuse of services not only within agencies, but between agencies.   

 Hundreds of applications based on OpenGIS specifications are in the market today.
