Dear GIN team, some claim our efforts are not academic enough because too much practical work! Others claim our efforts are too practical without any thoughts on theoretical backgrounds, models, concepts, or paradigms. Also, many think there is a lack of applications using interoperability or interoperation for e-science. So one of my ideas in this context is to establish a publication list on the GIN wiki: Interoperability/Interoperation in Theory and Practice http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.gin/wiki/Pubinterop So if you know publications in the field of interoperability or interoperation please add them to this list! Thank you very much for your help in enhancing this publication list and thus providing references to our work in the greater GIN context!
