- What were the main accomplishments and activities of this group over the last six months to a year? (List successes or highlights from the group. List links tangible outputs/work products, if available)
- We had a successful meeting in July. Our main activities were a discussion of best practices for interoperability and a panel on data quality (results of the discussion were reported to the information quality group during the Summer meeting)
- What is the group working on now?
- The group is looking forward to the Winter meeting. We hope the group will identify and adopt a cohesive project for the coming year.
- How is the work the #Group did supported? (ESIP-funded, external funding, time, computing resources)
- We used some ESIP funding to support participants for the Summer meeting. The rest of our work has been externally funded.
- Do you work with other organizations (GEO, OGC, etc.) or other clusters? Is this primarily in a supporting role, peer-to-peer, or leadership relationship? How do you engage new members?
- Yes, we have worked with the Information Quality cluster and others in a peer-to-peer capacity. We also interface with a number of external groups, and look forward to better coordinating our external contacts in order to communicate relevant activities to the ESIP community.
- What are your goals for the next year?
- We would like to clarify our directions, reinvigorate our telecons, and identify one or more cohesive projects for the group to support or lead.
- Do you anticipate needing resources or funding for these activities? If so, approximately how much?
- We may have requests following the Winter meeting.
- Is there anything that the staff or ESIP leadership could do to better support your group?
- No, we really appreciate the ongoing support of Erin and Carol.
- Any other comments?
- None to report
