The Rants and Raves Webinar provides a platform to any ESIP member to present any Information Technology and Interoperability related issues, seek suggestions/ideas or present cool new technology useful to the ESIP community. Dr. Christopher Lynnes will kickoff the series with a rant on the difficulties associated with Earth Science data on Feb 03, 2010 at 1:00 PM CT.
Earth Science Data: Why So Difficult?
Dr. Christopher Lynnes
Assembling a multi-sensor set of data for, say, a volcanic eruption means days of wandering cyberspace to find data and pry it loose from the custom search interfaces that jealously guard it. Following the Search is a slog of weeks reading format and QA documents, then cobbling together code to beat the data into a form that can be used safely in analysis tools. Why so difficult?$%#@^%!???
Above rant to be followed by a (mostly) calm and rational discussion of ways toward a solution.
Other Agenda Items: - Suggestions for Technical Workshops for Summer Meeting (ideas for different theme focus, volunteers to lead different themes) - Volunteers for giving Rants and Raves Webinar - Review of semi-structured publication strawman - Review of the proposal budget
