National Infrastructure Approach 1.Build national data cyberinfrastructure prototype – Support multiple science and engineering domains by loosely coupling their existing infrastructure with a collaboration environment 2.Develop generic interoperability framework – Define the generic infrastructure needed for the national infrastructure to manage knowledge as well as data and information 3.Define interoperability mechanisms – Support access across the disparate types of infrastructure in common use 4.Define domain specific extensions – Support three levels: technical interoperability, project level policy, and end user usage requirements
