• AuScope A4.23 Data Grid 494 Report on Interoperability of GPML, GML and GPlates.pdf
  This report describes the need for interoperability between GPML and other GML application schemata (including, in particular, GeoSciML) as well as the need for interoperability between GPlates and other GML-compatible AuScope software applications (including, in particular, those which use GeoSciML). It includes a rationale for interoperability; a description of perceived interoperability issues, and an enumeration of potential use cases. Potential solutions to the issues and use cases raised in this document will be examined in detail in the document to be created for Data Grid milestone 495 2.C.
