This is a legacy page of the EU-FP7 project Europlanet-RI which was funded by the European
Commission from 2009-2012. The follow-up project Europlanet 2020, which receives funding from
the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme started in September 2015.

Plasma Node Report May 2008: Updates on homepage-platform at IWF:
- Science Case 3.1 Overview completely finished.
- Preperations for the 3 remaining Science Cases - Working groups announced internally - updates within next month.
- Transfer of all Node Resources to the Global Resource Inventory nearly finished
Development status at CDPP:
- a registry demonstrator which consists of an eXist database, populated with metadata describing Cassini Makskp datasets. These metadata are written in XML, according to version 1.2.1 of the SPASE model. This registry is searchable by a web interface.
- a science demonstrator with AMDA : an interface of web-services on the MAPSKP server . This interface (next step) will enable AMDA to ingest MAPSKP data, using the registry demonstrator.
Plasma Node Report April 2008: Face-lift of the homepage-platform at IWF including:
