Emily leading off: Agenda, introduce me Next agenda item: Maggie’s data, how can we engage a broader set of users?
- Dave: Data sources for those within the disaster lifecycle cluster
- Static? Updated?
- Try to display these in the data sharing and collaborative environment
- Data sharing
- Credentials
- Select a few administrators who can be trained on how to use the platform and then begin testing.
- Emily: Quality determination criteria. How can we determine when the data is ready for prime time?
- Dave: An ESIP seal of approval or quality stamp would be a boon to ESIP.
- Items: timeliness of the data, Satellite, derived, model output, updated from field, UAV data?
- Sean: for our purposes, do we have a preferred data format?
- Dave: KML, webmapservices, JSON, etc. All possible.
- Maggie: preferred ArcGIS online, AGOL (fema geoportal), so shapefiles are preferred by gov agencies. KML good for people in the field.
- Emily: even though a product may not be in the format that we find most useful, maybe we can use a conversion tool land have our preferred product available.
- Emily: are we going to be able to put up information for end users soon?
- Maggie: Yes, napa e-Decider products are ready to start. Possibly a google docs.
- Sean will be uploading this file to google docs and sharing with the group
- Dave: working with the data will give us some idea of what is and isn’t useful.
- Next agenda item: walk though disaster lifecycle cluster Strategic Plan for 2015:
- ESIP Goal 1: increase the use and value of Earth science data and information
- Task: Identify, promote and showcase trusted authoritative data sources/products for decision making across all member organizations.
