'Win-theme' for the AQ Observatory project

I would propose the 'win-theme' for the project to go like this:

 - There is already a solid data access/use infrastructure for AQ data - DataFed 
 - There is already a solid data access/use infrastructure for met data - Unidata
 - Each serves their respective communities well, but not the sister communities 
 - So, the AQO will leverage these working infrastructures and augemnts them by:
     - Extending DataFed and Unidata by making them interoperable at catalog, access and tools level 
     - Add new components that arise from fusing the two infrastructure domains    
     - Ecourages networking by inclusion of other major nodes
