Met Office Open Source Presentation

In this presentation Graham will talk about experience that Met Office has in using Open Standards and Open Source as they apply to the weather and climate domain. The Met Office routinely handle very large and volatile data sets and have been exchanging these with hundreds of international collaborating organisations via the World Meteorological Organisation for many years. The challenge is now on to make these accessible in more generic open standards for wider re-use. In looking at open standards, Graham will also talk about how the Met Office increasingly uses open source to develop parts of its operational platform.
