Abstract
This chapter discusses the importance of standards to aid collaborative working within the GMOSS Network of Excellence (NoE). The focus is on facilitating the various elements of security and sustainability research towards potential delivery operational services in the future. One area in which the use of standards has been demonstrated, is through the provision of a web catalogue to enable sharing and discovery of common resources across the disparate organisations of the NoE
