Figure 1. A possible architecture to share LTER data resources using web service

Figure 1. A possible architecture to share LTER data resources using web services. A simultaneous query to SEV and NTL to get temperature data would occur as follows:

  1. A user application sends out a query encapsulated in a SOAP message
  2. Mediation services (in the Middleware services) receive the SOAP request, parse the message, and send the data request to the NTL and SEV site services
  3. Both NTL and SEV site services receive the SOAP request, parse the message, query their own site database for temperature, and send the result data back to Mediation services
  4. The Mediation services massage the result temperature data into a standard data format, encapsulate them into a SOAP response message, and send them back to the user application
