Appendix 1: Use Case Scenarios Architecture Forum participants self-selected into small groups to develop a scenario for assembling components from the EarthCube portfolio of funded projects, along with other existing components, to perform some specific function that would be useful to them. Groups were then asked to produce a block diagram showing how these components would work together. The diagrams were presented to the larger group, and identified multiple component types, the commonalities of those components, and potential interfaces between them. Below are representations of each use case presented: Model Validation with Data (BCube, CINERGI, DisconBB, ESBridge, GeoWS, ODSIP) Integration of Ocean Floor Data (CINERGI, DisconBB, GeoWS, OceanLink, ODSIP) Broker Architecture (BCube, ESBridge, GeoWS, ODSIP) Field Data Acquisition (CINERGI, GeoSoft, GeoWS, OceanLink, ODSIP) Mining Resource Inventory (CINERGI, DeepDive) -------------------------------------
