Goals

The water information domain landscape is evolving: How do we organize the community to help create interoperable ways of accessing and disseminating data - designed to provide information for decision-making - built as a system-of-systems designed to integrate data and observations from numerous government and non-government sources?

At the ESIP Summer 2009 Meeting USEPA will lead a session that:

  • Reviews important developments, including
-New access tools and activities including new sensor and model integration approaches
-Legislative and executive Agency developments
-Informatics approaches (e.g., standards “grid”; ontology software, semantic web, integration applications etc)
-Water data availability
  • Review areas of active collaboration
  • How do we coordinate and build community?
  • Inform GEOSS discussion related to water and climate change?

Next Steps

  • Further meetings and consultations
  • Wiki deployment
  • Plan a water data summit?
  • Continue discussions through-out day (July 9th)
