Approaches to Improved Collection and Dissemination of Earth Science Data Quality Information I
Session ID#: 10683
Session Description:
This session seeks to explore and discuss existing Earth science data quality and usability challenges, along with proposed and existing solutions, faced by data providers/stewards and data producers. Data providers/stewards are responsible for archival and dissemination of data, metadata, and associated documentation as well as technological tools or services to enhance data discovery and access. Data producers are responsible for production of datasets and characterizing their quality and uncertainties. This session seeks papers with examples of and solutions to data quality challenges addressing topics including: assessment, characterization and expression of uncertainty, accuracy and precision, developing and applying confidence levels as data quality flag parameters, quality-filtered data search/extraction, developing/implementing standardized quality metrics, and quality-centric metadata. Solutions to data quality challenges may be considered within the following sub-topics: data and system architecture, interoperability, automated technologies, crowd-sourcing, code-sharing and re-use, and cloud computing.
