      Ben, Tom,

          See the attached - from Anjuli. Isn't this what we've been doing for years
    in CRU where it was called the LINK project!  Tom wrote the
    original proposal in 1992. Nice to see the US finally catching up!
        Formats and software are one thing. The real effort within LINK
    was educating the impacts community within the UK on how to
    use the information.  Interesting use of language with the non-research community!
       PCMDI would be in a good position to do this, but it is very
    much service oriented and responsive to users.
    Cheers
    Phil
