<br />
==Fall 2020 Class == <br />
<br />
===Airborne Snow Observatories - ESIP-III === <br />
Building on a 7-year legacy with the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Airborne Snow Observatories Inc. provides<br />
basin-scale inventories of mountain snow water resources using industry-leading airborne remote sensing<br />
techniques and modeling. ASO collaborates with many academic research organizations, including NCAR, and<br />
distributes data to academics for research purposes.<br />

<br />
===Scenarios Network for Alaska and Arctic Planning (SNAP) - ESIP-II === <br />
Since 2007, SNAP has used climate data to create and share ideas of what a future Northern climate<br />
could look like. Because climate projections can be misleading and potentially misused, interpretation that recognizes uncertainty is needed. We work with climate data every day and know how to display a specific trend or pattern in the most unbiased manner. SNAP scenarios are not forecasts based on probabilities. Instead,<br />
they use data to ask "What if ...?" and consider multiple divergent, challenging, and possible future<br />
events. Combining these scenarios with stakeholder knowledge fosters informed dialogue and planning.<br />
<br />
We help partners and clients of varying needs and technical experience choose the best ways to visually<br />
communicate climate research information by creating maps, websites, interactive tools, diagrams, and print<br />
publications. Some examples include the Historical Sea Ice Atlas website and custom maps created for an Arctic<br />
management report to the President of the United States. SNAP also applies dynamical and statistical (delta)<br />
downscaling methods to climate data to create locally accurate climate information.<br />

<div>__NOTOC__<br />
<br />
Biological sciences intersect with the Earth sciences in understanding processes that cross domains and provide a robust picture of our dynamic and changing planet. Biological data are heterogeneous and uniquely organized on a per project basis. As noted by an attendee of the IOOS-ESIP Biological Data Standards Workshop “The diversity of biological data, and (seeming) lack of overarching community standards makes working with biological data challenging.” Several standards do exist for biological data, however these different data, metadata, and taxonomic standards are confusing for data managers and data users to navigate. The biological data community in the US could benefit from guidance, best practice documentation, training, and community building. Ultimately, the goal is to maximize data relevance and utility for understanding changes in biodiversity over time. The Biological Data Standards Cluster will coordinate and, where possible, use outputs from existing clusters such as the Marine Data Cluster and the Schema.org Cluster. The Biological Data Standards Cluster will also engage with the Biodiversity Information Standards (aka TDWG) community to ensure approaches adopted by the US community align with those of the global community and to foster increased interaction between the two communities. <br />

=Context=<br />
<br />
==Document==<br />
<br />
This is the Attribute Convention for Data Discovery (ACDD).<br />
<br />
==Version and Status==<br />
<br />
This version is designated as Version 1.3; it is the latest released version.<br />
<br />
The page [[Attribute Convention for Data Discovery]] always points to the current released version of the Convention. The version number at the top of the resulting page will show the current version.<br />
<br />
See the [http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Category:Attribute_Conventions_Dataset_Discovery ACDD category page] for information on the history and maintenance of this convention.<br />
<br />
===Development===<br />
<br />
For development versions of the ACDD, please see the page [[Attribute Convention for Data Discovery Working]].<br />
<br />
Questions about this specification may be addressed to the [http://www.lists.esipfed.org/mailman/listinfo/esip-documentation ESIP Documentation Cluster mailing list].<br />
<br />
=Overview=<br />
This document describes attributes recommended for describing a NetCDF dataset to discovery systems such as Digital Libraries. THREDDS and other tools can use these attributes to extract metadata from datasets, and exporting to Dublin Core, DIF, ADN, FGDC, ISO 19115 and other metadata formats. This will help systems and users locate and use data efficiently.<br />
<br />
==Alignment with NetCDF and CF Conventions==<br />
The NetCDF User Guide [http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf.html (NUG)] provides basic recommendations for creating NetCDF files; the NetCDF Climate and Forecast Metadata Conventions [http://cfconventions.org/ (CF)] provides more specific guidance. The ACDD builds upon and is compatible with these conventions; it may refine the definition of some terms in those conventions, but does not preclude the use of any attributes defined by the NUG or CF. <br />
<br />
The NUG does not require any global attributes, though it recommends and defines three, title, history, and Conventions. CF specifies more: institution, source, references, comment, and featureType. ACDD 1.3 adopts all CF 1.6 global attributes. In a change from ACDD 1.1, we adopt the NUG recommendation to supply all conventions in the single Conventions attribute.<br />
<br />
==Attribute Crosswalks== <br />
Many of these attributes correspond to general discovery metadata content, so similar terms exist in many metadata standards. This [[Attribute_Convention_for_Data_Discovery_(ACDD)_Mappings]] page includes a crosswalk to THREDDS, OGC CSW, ISO 19115-2 and Rubric Categories.<br />
<br />
==Additional Metadata: metadata_link attribute==<br />
Documents using other metadata specifications (e.g., ISO 19115) can provide additional information about the dataset. If additional metadata exists, you can make users aware of it by adding a global attribute named "metadata_link" to the netCDF file. The value of this attribute is a URL that gives the location of the more complete metadata.<br />
<br />
==Definitions: Data and Metadata==<br />
<br />
In several ACDD attribute names or definitions, the terms 'data' and 'metadata' are used. In the context of NetCDF files, these refer specifically to the values within the file, and the attributes of the file, respectively.<br />
<br />
==Maintenance of Metadata==<br />
<br />
ACDD attributes characterize the data they are associated with. Any processing that alters these characteristics is responsible for updating the relevant attributes.<br />
<br />
NetCDF file creators and software developers should ensure that the attributes of output data accurately represent that data, and specifically should not "pass through" any source attribute in unaltered form, unless it is known to remain accurate. NetCDF data users should verify critical attribute values, to be confident the source metadata is appropriate.<br />
<br />
The ACDD geospatiotemporal attributes present a special case, as this information is already fully defined by the CF coordinate variables. These attributes are recommended, despite being redundant, because they greatly simplify data discovery and access.<br />
<br />
The risk of inconsistency between these attributes and the actual data is highest after aggregation or subsetting; checking them against the data can serve as a useful test of the metadata's validity.<br />
<br />
==Attribute Content Guidance==<br />
<br />
===Date and Time: ISO 8601 Recommended Formats===<br />
<br />
The ACDD specifies [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 ISO 8601:2004] date and time formats for its temporal attributes. ACDD strongly encourages the use of the 'extended' format date-time, in the form <br />
<tt>YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss<zone></tt><br />
(although ss, mm, and hh can be omitted, and <zone> can be Z, ±hh:mm, or ±hh). Per the standard, the shortened or basic format, which omits the - and : separators, "should be avoided in plain text."<br />
<br />
For duration attributes, again the extended form is strongly encouraged for readability:<br />
<tt>P[YYYY]-[MM]-[DD]T[hh]:[mm]:[ss]</tt><br />
<br />
If for some reason the strongly encouraged formats can not be used, other ISO 8601-compatible formats are acceptable, but may not be handled by some processing software.<br />
<br />
===Comma-Separated Lists===<br />
<br />
Several attributes explicitly allow the entry of multiple entities as comma-separated values. Any entities within such lists which contain a comma must be enclosed in straight double quotation marks ("), which will not be considered part of the entity.<br />
<br />
Spaces (ASCII character 32) between the entities are recommended for readability, but not required. Example: 'John Doe, Jane Lee, "L J Smith, Jr." '<br />
<br />
The same protocol may be used within free-text attributes, but is only recommended in cases where the attribute is being populated with structured data (rather than unconstrained text).<br />
<br />
===Free Text Formatting: Structured Text Considerations===<br />
<br />
In some attributes, it may be desirable to use structured text to support computer parsing of human-readable content. Because netCDF files are often translated between binary and text-based encodings like ncML (e.g., by the netCDF command line tools ''nco''), such structures should tolerate changes in white space, including end-of-line characters, that may occur during translation.<br />

<td>Describes the data's 2D or 3D geospatial extent in OGC's Well-Known Text (WKT) Geometry format (reference the OGC Simple Feature Access (SFA) specification). The meaning and order of values for each point's coordinates depends on the coordinate reference system (CRS). The ACDD default is 2D geometry in the EPSG:4326 coordinate reference system. The default may be overridden with geospatial_bounds_crs and geospatial_bounds_vertical_crs (see those attributes). EPSG:4326 coordinate values are latitude (decimal degrees_north) and longitude (decimal degrees_east), in that order. Longitude values in the default case are limited to the [-180, 180) range. Example: 'POLYGON ((40.26 -111.29, 41.26 -111.29, 41.26 -110.29, 40.26 -110.29, 40.26 -111.29))'.</td><br />

If geospatial_bounds_vertical_crs is also present then this attribute must only specify a 2D CRS. EPSG CRSs are strongly recommended. If this attribute is not specified, the CRS is assumed to be EPSG:4326. Examples: 'EPSG:4979' (the 3D WGS84 CRS), 'EPSG:4047'.</td><br />

<div>__NOTOC__<br />
<br />
Biological sciences intersect with the Earth sciences in understanding processes that cross domains and provide a robust picture of our dynamic and changing planet. Biological data are heterogeneous and uniquely organized on a per project basis. As noted by an attendee of the IOOS-ESIP Biological Data Standards Workshop “The diversity of biological data, and (seeming) lack of overarching community standards makes working with biological data challenging.” Several standards do exist for biological data, however these different data, metadata, and taxonomic standards are confusing for data managers and data users to navigate. The biological data community in the US could benefit from guidance, best practice documentation, training, and community building. Ultimately, the goal is to maximize data relevance and utility for understanding changes in biodiversity over time. The Biological Data Standards Cluster will coordinate and, where possible, use outputs from existing clusters such as the Marine Data Cluster and the Schema.org Cluster. The Biological Data Standards Cluster will also engage with the Biodiversity Information Standards (aka TDWG) community to ensure approaches adopted by the US community align with those of the global community and to foster increased interaction between the two communities. <br />

Zeus Volkov Systems (ZVS) was founded as a way to go into private practice in the realms of data platforms, remote sensing IoT Systems, and software and systems consulting. Our primary domain is earth science, as we are based in Asheville and have connections at NCEI and the Collider. We regularly release and participate in Open Source Software projects as a company and want to continue to release useful data platform tools for the earth science community.<br />
<br />
We build IoT remote sensing devices and networks that we are planning on turning into large scale data processing systems for earth science data operations in government, like stream monitoring and atmosphere monitoring. We release open source data platforms built for environmental data processing when possible - generally after we integrate a standard tool into one of our systems, we release the underlying platform as open source.<br />

The mission of the Space Enabled research group is to advance justice in Earth's complex systems using designs enabled by space. Our message is that six types of space technology are supporting societal needs, as defined by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. These six technologies include satellite earth observation, satellite communication, satellite positioning, microgravity research, technology transfer, and the inspiration we derive from space research and education. While much good work has been done, barriers still remain that limit the application of space technology as a tool for sustainable development. We strive to enable a more just future in which every community and country can easily and affordably apply space-enabled technology to improve public services and solve local challenges.<br />

===Tropical Ecology Assessment and Monitoring (TEAM) Network (Type II - Research)===<br />
:Application excerpt:<br />
::The Tropical Ecology Assessment and Monitoring (TEAM) Network was designed to address questions that are fundamental to understanding the dynamics of biodiversity, ecosystem services and human well-being as they interact from local to global scales in the context of multiple changing drivers (e.g., climate change and land cover change). The TEAM Network is currently a partnership among Conservation International, The Missouri Botanical Garden, The Wildlife Conservation Society and the Smithsonian Institution. The TEAM Network monitors biodiversity and a set of ecosystem services using a relatively small suite of standardized protocols implemented at TEAM Sites. These protocols include: Climate, Carbon Stocks, Tree Species Diversity, Liana Species Diversity, Bird and Mammal Species Diversity and the Zone of Human Dynamics and Ecosystem Change (ZoHDEC). The protocols facilitate comparisons among sites and continents using metrics that quantify changes in climate, land use/land cover, biodiversity and carbon sequestration. The protocols were designed and vetted through a series of workshops involving more than 200 scientists from around the world and are freely available on the web. Multi-disciplinary data is collected from technician collected field measurements, mobile devices, ground based sensors and satellite sensors. As a result the TEAM Network has worked extensively to develop one of the first operational cyberinfrastructure that supports a global observatory network. Our main cyberinfrastructure partner is the San Diego Supercomputer Center at UC San Diego.<br />

The TEAM Network is currently a partnership among Conservation International, The Missouri Botanical Garden, The Wildlife Conservation Society and the Smithsonian Institution. The TEAM Network monitors biodiversity and a set of ecosystem services using a relatively small suite of standardized protocols implemented at TEAM Sites. These protocols include: Climate, Carbon Stocks, Tree Species Diversity, Liana Species Diversity, Bird and Mammal Species Diversity and the Zone of Human Dynamics and Ecosystem Change (ZoHDEC). The protocols facilitate comparisons among sites and continents using metrics that quantify changes in climate, land use/land cover, biodiversity and carbon sequestration. The protocols were designed and vetted through a series of workshops involving more than 200 scientists from around the world and are freely available on the web. Multi-disciplinary data is collected from technician collected field measurements, mobile devices, ground based sensors and satellite sensors. As a result the TEAM Network has worked extensively to develop one of the first operational cyberinfrastructure that supports a global observatory network. Our main cyberinfrastructure partner is the San Diego Supercomputer Center at UC San Diego.<br />

<br />
'''Summary:'''<br />
ESIP has been a virtual organization for over 20 years with two in person meetings a year, but our collaborative infrastructure was lagging. Due to COVID-19, ESIP leadership decided to move our next two in-person meetings to virtual meetings ([https://www.esipfed.org/monday-updates/special-esip-update-2020-esip-summer-2021-esip-winter-meetings-going-virtual announcement]) and to invest funding that would have been spent on travel into the ESIP collaborative infrastructure. We are currently upgrading a few components: <br />
<br />
*Mediawiki upgrade from v1.19 to 1.34 of the ESIP wiki<br />
*Utilizing QiqoChat to bring together our asynchronous workspaces with our virtual conferences and meetings<br />
*Becoming an ORCID member to gain access to ORCID API keyes to integrate ORCID authentication into the wiki<br />
<br />
We will have three brief presentations on these components from [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Tosfos Ike Hecht], [http://www.wikiworks.com/ WikiWorks] on the ESIP Wiki, [https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucascioffi/ Lucas Cioffi], [https://esip.qiqochat.com/ QiQoChat] lead developer on the technical side of QiQoChat and [https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1196-6279 Sheila Rabun], ORCID US Community Specialist on the ORCID API.

==9 April 2020: "Unidata Science Gateway" Julien Chastang==<br />
<br />
'''Summary:'''<br />
With the goal of better serving our community, Unidata is investigating how its technologies can best make use of cloud computing. The observation that science students and professionals are spending too much time distracted by software that is difficult to access, install, and use, motivates Unidata’s investigation. In addition, cloud computing can tackle a class of problems that cannot be approached by traditional, local computing methods because of its ability to scale and its capacity to store large quantities of data. Cloud computing accelerates scientific workflows, discoveries, and collaborations by reducing research and data friction. We aim to improve “time to science” with the NSF-funded Jetstream cloud. We describe a Unidata science gateway on Jetstream. With the aid of open-source cloud computing projects such as OpenStack, Docker, and JupyterHub, we deploy a variety of scientific computing resources on Jetstream for our scientific community. These systems can be leveraged with data-proximate Jupyter notebooks, and remote visualization clients such as the Unidata Integrated Data Viewer (IDV) and AWIPS CAVE. This gateway will enable students and scientists to spend less time managing their software and more time doing science.<br />

==12 March 2020: "DGGS in action: provision of rapid response during Australian bushfires and other applications" Shane Crossman and Irina Bastrakova==<br />
<br />
'''Summary'''<br />
Everything has a location. Location can be defined using descriptive terms (e.g. place names), geometry (e.g. geographic coordinates) and/or index notations (e.g. statistical boundaries). However, existing approaches and disconnected infrastructures limit our ability to discover, access and integrate spatial data across organisation and jurisdiction boundaries to produce up-to-date reliable information. The Location Index project (LOC-I) aims to introduce a consistent way to access, analyse and use location data to support the effective integration of socio-economic, statistical and environmental data from multiple data providers to support the spatially enabled delivery of Government policies and initiatives.<br />
<br />
The devastation caused by the Australian Bushfires highlighted the need for a new approach for rapid data integration. The total burnt area during Autumn-Summer 2019-2020 is 72,000 square miles, which is an equivalent to a half of Montana or North Dakota and Delaware areas combined. Rapid response in provision of information on areas affected by the bushfires was required to support evaluation of the impact, and also planning the recovery process and support for families, businesses and the environment. This presentation will discuss application of the Discrete Global Grid System (DGGS) in bringing together diverse complex information from multiple sources to support the response process. The presentation will also discuss testing of the DGGS capability in other use cases.<br />

==14 November 2019: "Location Integration Project": Matthew Purss and Shane Crossman==<br />
<br />
'''Summary'''<br />
Everything has a location. Location can be defined using descriptive terms (e.g. place names, suburb names, and rivers), position and geometry (e.g. geographic coordinates like latitude and longitude) and/or index notations (e.g. mesh block or parcel identifiers). A street address is useful for service delivery; land parcels for revenue raising and investment; coordinates and grids for positioning and monitoring changes in the landscape; various administrative boundaries for law enforcement and service management; and statistical (e.g. health, society or economy) information to analyse and improve life in Australian. However, existing approaches and disconnected infrastructures coupled with the myriad of ways to describe and store location information limit our ability to discover, access and integrate spatial data across organization and jurisdiction boundaries to produce reliable and actionable information. The Location Index project (LOC-I) aims to introduce a consistent way to access, analyse and use location data to support the effective integration of socio-economic, statistical and environmental data from multiple data providers to support the spatially enabled delivery of Government policies and initiatives.<br />
<br />
The flexible, and standards based, spatial data infrastructures being developed by Geoscience Australia and its partners under LOC-I include Internet of Things (IoT), Linked Data and Discrete Global Grid Systems (DGGS) technologies integrated with cloud-based data discovery and access tools. This will enable LOC-I to democratize spatial data applications, where people will be able to do spatial data integration operations without needing GIS specialists. This presentation will provide an overview of LOC-I, DGGS and how DGGS technologies can be used as a tool to spatially enable and integrate socio-economic and geospatial data together.<br />

==12 September 2019: "STARE: SpatioTemporal Adaptive Resolution Encoding for Scalable Integrative Analysis": Michael Rilee==<br />
<br />
'''Summary'''<br />
Title: STARE: SpatioTemporal Adaptive Resolution Encoding for Scalable Integrative Analysis<br />
<br />
Abstract: The Earth Science enterprise has generated a great volume and variety of high-quality, high-spatiotemporal resolution data (e.g. level 1 and 2 swath data), that could be integrated to open wide arenas of new, improved scientific advances. Yet aligning and integrating different kinds of Earth Science data is a laborious process, leading most researchers to focus on more generic, high level data products that are more easily compared. Dealing with the great volume and variety is the goal of the NASA/ACCESS-17 STARE project. STARE is a unifying indexing scheme addressing variety and is well suited for applying distributed storage and computing resources to address volume. We will describe the STARE approach and how it relates to other geolocation schemes, e.g. DGGS or simulation grids.<br />
<br />
Presenter: Michael Rilee, Ph.D., Rilee Systems Technologies LLC.<br />
<br />
Bio: Michael Rilee, PI of the STARE project, has been involved with high-end computing and modeling and simulation for about 25 years.

==6 June 2019: "Google Dataset Search: Facilitating data discovery in an open ecosystem.": Chris Gorgolewski==<br />
<br />
'''Summary'''<br />
<br />
There are thousands of data repositories on the Web, providing access to millions of datasets. National and regional governments, scientific publishers and consortia, commercial data providers, and others publish data for fields ranging from social science to life science to high-energy physics to climate science and more. Access to this data is critical to facilitating reproducibility of research results, enabling scientists to build on others’ work, and providing data journalists easier access to information and its provenance. In this talk, I will discuss recently launched Google Dataset Search, which provides search capabilities over potentially all dataset repositories on the Web. I will talk about the open ecosystem for describing and citing datasets that we hope to encourage and the technical details on how we went about building Dataset Search. Finally, I will highlight research challenges in building a vibrant, heterogeneous, and open ecosystem where data becomes a first-class citizen.<br />

==14 Feb 2019: "Cloud Native Geoprocessing of Earth Observation Satellite Data with Pangeo": Scott Henderson (University of Washington)==<br />
<br />
'''Summary''': NASA has estimated that by 2025, it will be storing upwards of 250 Petabytes (PB) of its data using commercial Cloud services (e.g. Amazon Web Services [AWS]). This presentation will focus on efforts funded by a NASA ACCESS 2017 grant to transition the Earth Science community into Cloud computing by developing technologies that build on top of the growing Pangeo ecosystem. In particular, the integration of JupyterHub with Kubernetes and several high-level Python packages (i.e. Xarray, Dask, Rasterio, Intake, PyViz), are enabling Cloud-native workflows that circumvent the bottleneck of downloading large amounts of data. These tools work best with emerging Cloud-native storage solutions for satellite imagery (i.e. NASA’s CMR, STAC, COGs). In this presentation, Scott gives update on the Pangeo project and showcases a few example workflows using large public archives of optical and radar satellite data.<br />
<br />
'''Speaker''': Scott Henderson has a PhD in Geological Sciences from Cornell University and is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Washington eScience Institute. Scott studies geologic hazards with satellite-based synthetic aperture radar.<br />

==13 Dec 2018: "Developing JupyterLab Extensions": Ian Rose (Berkeley)==<br />
<br />
'''Summary''': JupyterLab extensions can customize or enhance any part of JupyterLab. They can provide new themes, file viewers and editors, or renderers for rich outputs in notebooks. Extensions can add items to the menu or command palette, keyboard shortcuts, or settings in the settings system. Extensions can provide an API for other extensions to use and can depend on other extensions. In fact, the whole of JupyterLab itself is simply a collection of extensions that are no more powerful or privileged than any custom extension. In this talk Ian will demonstrate how to build a JuptyerLab extension. <br />

<br />
'''Summary''': Building a National Biogeographic Map, an analysis platform for exploring biodiversity conservation measures and stressors, sparked the need for a reliable data source with a wide variety of identified places. These need to be assembled in a sustainable and robust way that keeps track of provenance and processing steps so we can build reports for decisionmakers that are trustworthy and consistent. We started an idea campaign in the ESIP Lab with some questions we have about how best to do this work. This talk will share what we have in place so far, including a registry of sources, a data processing pipeline, an integrated index, a REST API, and a working web application. Technologies include USGS ScienceBase, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, ElasticSearch, Python Flask, and other Python processing codes using GDAL and other libraries.<br />

==12 October 2017: "Research Workspace: A web-based tool for data sharing, documentation, analysis, and publication": Rob Bochenek, Axiom Data Science==<br />
<br />
'''Summary''': The Research Workspace (RW) is a web-based tool designed to support collaborative science and data management tasks throughout the data lifecycle. The RW provides a secure environment for organizing, sharing, documenting, and analyzing scientific datasets, and for publishing datasets through a DataONE member node. As a shared, cloud-based storage environment, the RW is designed for collaborative organization and management of project content. Multiple levels of access and read/write permissions provide transparent, controlled access and oversight to collaborators, funders, and project managers. A custom metadata editor exports standards-compliant metadata (ISO 19115-2 and 19110) and includes tools for easily adding keywords, taxonomic information, keywords, spatial boundaries, and contact information to metadata records. An integrated Jupyter notebooks environment allows R- and Python-based analysis scripts to be written in and run on the RW and to access data in the RW or any data set resource that is hosted within the Axiom Data Science cyber-infrastructure stack. These notebooks serve as transparent, reproducible, and easily-shareable computational analysis and processing tools. Finally, datasets in the RW that have undergone sufficient curation and documentation can be exported to the Research Workspace DataONE Member Node for long-term preservation and broader discoverability and accessibility. More information about the RW and it's capabilities can be found in the help documents - <br />

==13 Oct 2015: Raj Pandya on AGU's Thriving Earth Exchange and Sharing Solutions==<br />
<br />
The Thriving Earth Exchange is a network and platform that connects community leaders, sponsors, and scientists and helps them combine science and local knowledge to solve on-the-ground challenges related to natural hazards, natural resources, and climate change. I’ll talk about the general principles on which we are building TEX and describe the basic modules that are part of the TEX. Drawing on the lessons learned from our pilots, I'll talk about how we are developing modules and launching new projects with several partners. I’ll describe a range of projects – from a community monitoring effort in Denver to a Pamiri Mountain project to integrate climate projections into traditional calendars. I’ll introduce our nascent “share” module, and describe our partnership with Amazon Web Services to move prototype community-based solutions to the cloud to enhance their adaptability. And, just to live up to the name, I’ll frame it all around a small rant about the loading-dock model of science and a rave about more participatory approaches.<br />

==13 Aug 2015: Rich Signell on Catalog-driven Workflows for Science==<br />
<br />
"Catalog-driven, reproducible workflows for ocean science: Comparing<br />
sea level forecasts along the US Coastline"<br />
<br />
Rich Signell<br />
<br />
Filipe Fernandes<br />
<br />
The USGS Integrated Ocean Observing System (US-IOOS) requires that<br />
data providers use standard web services (OPeNDAP+CF, OGC WMS, OGC<br />
SOS) for distributing model products and insitu observations. The<br />
services are captured in ISO metadata records and searchable via<br />
standard catalog services (OGC CSW).<br />
<br />
This presentation will demonstrate how to use this system in a<br />
reproducible Jupyter Notebook, discovering, accessing and using model<br />
and observed water levels along the US Coastline, using a free python<br />
environment that can be installed on Mac, Windows and Linux in less<br />
than 10 minutes.<br />
