THANK YOU!
Mapping Next Steps
Help…suggestions…
- Meeting report out by 3/7/08
- Establish ad-hoc advisory committee sampled from this group (6-15), [with reporting to larger community]
- EPA AMI/GEOSS Keating short term systems RFA
- Scoping out data vision and plan: preferred future
- Includes user communities and system objectives
- Includes rules in terms of data standards and interface protocols
- Includes explicit chaining connections
Multiple levels involved
Larger community: wiki advisory committee; community wide report include:
- inventory of systems
- opportunities for leveraging
- initial perspectives on inefficiencies
- recommendations on formatting and access conventions
- costs of participating in community systems (e.g., monitoring meta data)
- assessment (relative strengths and weaknesses of systems)
Federal agency
- reviewing partnerships, especially EPA, NASA, NOAA ad hoc to date, data are a natural NASA has been major catalyst (Data Fed, ESIP)..FMGAQ
- role of U.S GEO…..who is guiding who here
EPA (OAR, OEI, ORD, ORD/NOAA)
- EPA integration systems are immature
- Management and coordination issues galore
- Assessment of systems???....systems run rampant…redundancies and inadequacies
- Chet/Rich…deliver recommendations/briefing to OAR/OEI and ORD management…illustrate redundancies, lack of coordination, blunt assessment
- At a minimum remove barriers and provide incentives for responsibility in community framework
- Challenging the single client concept
- Closer to home….cost of being in a community (e.g., monitoring group improving meta data, especially site representativeness for model evaluation)
- Ask IG to assess epa air data systems
- Or ..perform an objective assessment, system costs, user frequency, surveys…
