Description - a brief synopsis, abstract or summary of what the learning resource is about: 

This slide set discusses the big, generic problem facing geoscientists today that stems from lack of interoperability across a huge number of heterogeneous resources, and how to solve it.  Practical solutions to tame the inherent heterogeneity involve the collection of standardized, "deep-description" metadata for resources that are then wrapped with standardized APIs that provide callers wtih access to both the data and the metadata.
