Jonathan Rees gave six layers of what comprises an interface:
- permission
- access
- container syntax
- vocabulary
- semantics
The focus of the project is on data integration and reducing transactions costs by developing and testing the whole interface stack for scientific data, the data integration problem becomes vastly easier to understand, browse, search, consult, transform, analyze, visualize, model, annotate, and organize data. Jonathan closed with a call to action is to “choose, promote, and nourish sharing solutions at every level in the stack.”
