Mike will describe how the new generation of research objectives will need to avoid staging data locally from multiple modeling and observational repositories. Rather, new access methods will present a machine-to-machine interface which permits codes and software applications to retrieve small increments of data continuously as part of the processing. The ASDC's Data Acess architecture will be described with a particular emphasis on iRODS as one of the most promising tools for remote access to data held in earth science data centers.
