Evaluating the results of our research, we present the requirements for a general software platform supporting interoperability of Geo scientific tools and integrated processing of heterogeneous data. We also discuss the contributions of supporting technologies available today, such as CORBA, Java, and XML. Finally, we present our view of a flexible, extensible and adaptable architecture for an information infrastructure based on software component technology.Text/Conference Paper
