ABSTRACT
Environmental applications have been stimulating the cooperation among scientists from different disciplines. There are many examples where this cooperation takes place through exchanging scientific resources, such as data, programs and mathematical models. Finding the right model to apply in an environmental problem is a difficult task. Usually, this decision is based on previous experience. To facilitate the exchange and dissemination of information we propose a scientific resources architecture, where scientists may share their data, programs and models. We also present a scientific publishing metamodel for scientific resources description. The main goal of the proposed architecture is to provide scientific metadata support to effective model sharing, representing an innovative contribution to environmental applications. Scientific experiments and workflows are also considered as scientific resources that need to be shared. We believe that the proposed scientific publishing metamodel could be naturally extended to include these other scientific resources.
