IN21A:
Integrating Data and Services in the Earth, Space, and Environmental Sciences Across Community, National, and International Boundaries I


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 61398

Session Description:
The last decade has seen rapid growth in the number of online data sets and tools, many of which are coordinated by separate communities in the Earth, space, and environmental sciences. Notable efforts include GEO, ESGF, ESIP, EPOS, CUHASI, ENVRI, AuScope, EDI, EarthCube, OneGeology, ODIP, IGSN and DataOne. There are common technological and science challenges that each is trying solve in isolation. Although standards, vocabularies, formats, etc are cohesive within each community, there are sufficient differences that make it hard to integrate data across them. The time is ripe to synchronise efforts to create globally connected networks of Earth, Space and Environmental Science data, information systems, software and researchers.


Papers are solicited from those building community specific systems or from those trying to resolve the challenges of internationally linking multiple communities to create networked environments for developing common global solutions for more efficient and effective use of limited, available funding.
