Federated Search

Welcome to the Federated Search Cluster

The objective of the Federated Search Cluster is implement a federated search capability within ESIP, including space-time queries for individual data items. The cluster is an active collaboration site for contributing components and plays a governance role in the development of community conventions and vocabularies.
