AB: Answering complex science questions often means that a scientist must find and use a variety of scientific resources. These resources can include everything from static data in various formats to complex data assimilation models to format converters and analysis tools. We have developed a testbed that demonstrates an innovative approach to interoperability--integrating a prototype heterogeneous resource access system and a new, extensible space science data description language to provides easy, quick, and conceptual access to interdisciplinary science data. The Scientific Resource Access System (SRAS) prototypes novel concepts to create a loosely coupled architecture, making it possible to integrate heterogeneous resources, including other systems, into a single conceptual interface. The Space Physics Data Markup Language (SPDML) is a prototype system that provides a standard method of data querying that enables the development of an extensible standard for next generation multi-mission catalog searching capabilities (http://sd-www.jhuapl.edu/SPDML). Each system exists independently, but the two can interoperate--with even more capability to support interdisciplinary scientific enquiry.
