Interoperability and Technology

From Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)
Welcome to the Information Technology and Interoperability Committee Wiki
Committee Chair: Dave Blodgett

Get Involved

The IT&I committee provides a venue for a monthly community webinar on current Information Technology and Interoperability topics. In early years, the webinar series was known as the "IT&I Rants and Raves" a title the committee is bringing back starting in 2023.

Rants and Raves are designed to get smart people to share insightful, provocative views of what's great and what's not about technology and interoperability in modern Earth science. We welcome, high energy talks on personal pet peeves: topics that you can't believe in this day and age we're still dealing with, or solutions that you can't believe that in this day and age more people aren't using.

Upcoming meetings 3pm ET (calendar)

IT&I Operational Remote Sensing 2024

February 15th: "Creating operational decision ready data with remote sensing and machine learning." (Brian Goldin)

As organizations grapple with information overload, timely and reliable insights remain elusive, particularly in disaster scenarios. Voyager's participation in the OGC Disaster Pilot 2023 aimed to address these challenges by streamlining data integration and discovery processes. Leveraging innovative data conditioning and enrichment techniques, alongside machine learning models, Voyager transformed raw data into actionable intelligence. Through operational pipelines, we linked diverse datasets with machine learning models, automating the generation of new observations to provide decision-makers with timely insights during critical moments. This presentation will explore Voyager's role in enhancing disaster response capabilities, showcasing how innovative integration of technology along with open standards can improve decision-making processes on a global scale.

ESIP Vision

To be a leader in promoting the collection, stewardship and use of Earth science data, information and knowledge that are responsive to societal needs.

Information Technology and Interoperability Committee

The Information Technology and Interoperability Committee of the ESIP Federation is a standing committee created to:

  • ensure that data, information and services can be readily exchanged and integrated to improve Earth science data, information, products and services; and
  • encourage the use of standards and protocols relevant to interoperability;
  • encourage the use of best information technology practices to ensure the quality, usability and breadth of standards and protocols relevant to interoperability.
