Background
Our original raison d'etre
This group formed in late 2015 to investigate pathways for sustainable, increased collaboration and coordination among repositories engaged in environmental data management that will benefit both research networks and individual investigators. The group has three major activities: Developing a framework for describing Return on Investment (ROI) in data repositories; describing the landscape of data services offered by repositories, to identify gaps; and defining a Common Technical Vision to sustain data, rather than the repositories themselves.

Accomplishments
In the major areas above:
Framework for describing Return on Investment (ROI) in data repositories;
- Held a workshop in Tempe: Return on Investment for Environmental Data Repositories
- Paper: Parr, C., C. Gries, M. O'Brien, R. R. Downs, R. Duerr, R. Koskela, P. Tarrant, K. E. Maull, N. Hoebelheinrich, S. Stall. 2019. A Discussion of Value Metrics for Data Repositories in Earth and Environmental Sciences. Data Science Journal. https://doi.org/10.5334/dsj-2019-058
Describing the landscape of data services offered by repositories, to identify gaps;
This topic is being covered by RE3data (https://www.re3data.org/). Our involvement with them has been intended to further this objective
Define a Common Technical Vision to sustain data, rather than the repositories themselves.
- Held a followup workshop in Santa Barbara: Developing a Common Technical Vision for Repository Interoperability

Notes
From Megan:
Data stewardship cluster might want to work in the repository-landscape area. they think of themsleves as an umbrella for a lot of other clusters. they spin off other clusters (info quality cluster, ____. they all report back to data stewardship.
- Denise Hills
- Mark Parsons
Amber Budden is the new chair of data stewardship
Copdess - not currently an active esip cluster. related
From Megan: cluster lifecycle-
- there is a stage where clusters spin down. So that is a possible next option for this group if you want it.
- Megan has a process for this if we need it, a one-pager.
other ideas for when we don't know what we are doing:
- bring in speakers - eg, maybe even new members
Action items
Margaret write a few sentences for Megan about the ROI paper.
- groups that participated
- output of the sustainable DM cluster
- convening aspect of ESIP, why appropriate that ESIP hosts this stuff
- add invitation to next meeting, we will talk about what we want to take on next
TBD: Maybe a blog post later
